Being the method actor that he is, Isaac would go on social gatherings and act like his character, Llewyn Davis. Dressed like a weirdo and acting like one too, Oscar recalls, "I was sitting in the corner just eating. I was the only person eating at the party," he adds, "and this girl, she's a documentary filmmaker, so obviously she spotted the weirdo and went directly to that one."

The actor and producer pair is the ultimate low-key power couple. The couple continues to lead a low-profile married life and collaborate on projects, with Isaac in front of the lens and Lind behind. Isaac starred in Lind's project, Staircase Sessions.
