00:00Dawn, tell us a little bit about your role in Yvonne Speaks.

00:05How excited are you for this short to be premiering?

00:07Oh my gosh, I'm so excited for the West Coast premiere.

00:11I played the role of Mrs. Abernathy.

00:14She was a southern lady, for the most part, but she was a little mischievous and I got

00:20to do a regional southern dialect, which I love doing.

00:24Sounds like a lot of accents in this film, which is super exciting.

00:28Give us one of your favorite memories from the set.

00:30I think one of my favorite memories was when our friend Dustin, he's not here tonight,

00:35but he was the bartender and he was serving us champagne and one of the takes he just

00:43dropped all the glasses and we all lost it.

00:46We thought it was so funny and, you know, it was just...

00:50I hope he's okay.

00:51It was bound to happen, but it was like a blue...

00:53Just the usual on the film set, right?

00:57Right.

00:58So when audiences watch this film, what's an emotion that you want them to have after

01:02leaving that theater?

01:04After leaving, I want them to be happy.

01:07I want them to be laughing about it.

01:10I mean, there are parts that are, like, uncomfortable, that might make people uncomfortable, but

01:16then at the end, I just want them to come away with a good feeling and chuckle about

01:21it.

01:22Well, that is a testament to a great film or a great short, is it makes people feel

01:26something, right?

01:27Good or bad, they're leaving with a certain feeling.

01:29Well, I cannot wait for audiences to watch the short and congratulations on the premiere.

01:34Thank you so much.

01:35I'm so excited to be here and so excited to meet you.

01:37Thank you so much.

01:39Have a wonderful rest of your night.

01:41You too.
