The filmmaker recalled how the actor squeezed his shoulder in excitement.
He said: "He was really strong and he was getting excited and as the clip went on he was squeezing my shoulder the whole time and when it finished, I couldn't even lift my arm.
"I felt his hand for the rest of that day. Standing here with you all, listening to that music and thinking about it all, I promise you I can feel his hand on me right now.
He continued: "Chad is no longer with us physically but his spirit, his passion, his genius, his pride in his culture and the impact that he made on this industry will be felt forever. We put our love for Chadwick into this film and we also put our passion.
"It's a roller coaster of a movie."
