00:00We started with Orkney being sort of gray and bluish and a bit bland, you know, she
00:07doesn't want to be there.
00:09Whereas London, where she's longing to be, is bright and fun and colorful and vivid and
00:15moves around and then through time the London memories get more distorted and weird and
00:23ugly and broken.
00:25And in that time, you know, Orkney opens up and gains color and becomes vivid.
00:32And so they sort of do a crossover.
00:34And in addition to those two layers, we have the nerd layer, which is her inner life, which
00:39is completely sort of anarchic.
00:41It's free, you know, it's like documentary, animation, found footage, whatever, it can
00:46be whatever, because her brain is free in that sense.
00:51Most of it always starts, for me, with the question of how does the character see it?
00:55It's always clear, you know, that this film needed to be an audiovisual experience, that
01:01you experience Rona's state, you know, her drunkenness, her delirium, her messiness,
01:07but also the ecstasy, but also the nature, not just in a sweet and nice way, but in an
01:14extreme way.
01:15And you experience this with her, through her eyes and ears, you sort of get an understanding
01:20of when does the film need to be loud, when is it quiet, when does the sound sort of need
01:26to get broken, you know?
01:28And how long do we have to hold off the wind, so that really, you know, surrounds us when
01:34she takes her headphones off.
01:42Yeah, I think Nora is an incredibly courageous director and a brave director.
01:47She never shies away from the hard wretches, but she always brings a lot of beauty and compassion.
01:54We did a lot of just talking about alcoholism and my life.
01:59The book is very much an internal story, and she did so well with System Crasher that we
02:04thought she'd be really appropriate for this film.
02:07It was her vision for the outrun, the different layers of storytelling, her desire to remain
02:14faithful to the spirit of Amy's book, and also the respect that she showed to the real
02:20people and the real places, and all of that just made me completely certain that she was
02:24the perfect director for the outrun.
