00:00It's so hard to talk about this, but I think some of the best work you do is when you just
00:06let go and you let something course through you, and there were certain things that helped
00:11me in this.
00:12The boys' voiceover I would play before sitting down and grieving on the couch near the beginning
00:17of the film, after I put them to bed at the end of their mum's funeral, and they'd already
00:21recorded this bit of voiceover, and it just, to experience it through them and, but like
00:29all things, it's about letting go.
00:31It's about letting go, really, and then people say, well, you know, how do you cope with
00:36that and what does it do to you?
00:37I think, you know, certain parts of your life always come into your work.
00:42You can't really escape that, but I think most importantly, I leave it all on the floor,
00:47so there's not a danger of it leaking back into my life.
00:51It's there, and I like to do that with my work no matter what the ask is, so that it's
00:55all there.
00:57So, actually, what about your character's journey in this film, do you think will resonate
01:02across Sundance?
01:03I was curious for you, do you have a preference in terms of, like, the budget, you know, or
01:08is it sort of just like, you love it all?
01:09Not at all, you know, I love getting to play in a big sandpit like the Marvel films, and
01:14I love doing work like this, which carries a completely different level of responsibility
01:18and freedom as well, you know, they both come with their challenges, but I love the amount
01:24of necessity that sort of fostered our need to be inventive and, you know, it's, yeah,
01:34necessity is the mother of all invention, is the phrase, you know, and it really was
01:38true of this, problem solving minute by minute, day by day is kind of the usual way every
01:44film comes together at whatever scale, and there's an intimacy to this that I really
01:49loved, the smallness of the crew and the intimate relationship you build up with people
01:54that you really, you're this close to, there's often a lot of distance on the bigger movies
01:59because of all the kind of effects and crane shots and stuff, but, yeah, and just, and
02:05something that I'm really proud to have produced as well, and had a really strong hand in having
02:10been made, so, yeah.
