00:00Sariyana, Working Money is an intense and action-packed movie.
00:06How was working with Jason and with the rest of the cast on those intense scenes?
00:13Good question.
00:15I learned a lot from watching Jason in those moments.
00:20Seeing the way that he carries himself on set, off of set, seeing his focus,
00:26I think was the most educational moment for me as an actor, learning how to do action for the first time.
00:33To watch him own the space and kick butt in the way that he does so well,
00:38it was very inspiring and enlightening for me.
00:42It was phenomenal.
00:44Noemi, how did you prepare to play Carla emotionally, this mother who is looking for her missing child?
00:54It was not light work, to say the least.
00:58Ultimately, I thought of my mom.
01:00I thought of other women in my family that have gone through some things
01:04and all the strength that they had while going through it.
01:07But ultimately, what I really did, I was really following the story of Vanessa Guillén,
01:13who went missing in the States in an army base.
01:16I then watched the documentary in preparation for that.
01:21There's a reason there, because there's definitely a dynamic there that served.
01:25I wanted to honor those families that go through this, specifically the mothers.
01:31That was something.
01:32Then I had to also take care of myself, the actress, and Carla when I was in the shoot,
01:38to make sure that I could hold it, keep together, to then give it on camera.
01:43Arianna, what was the most challenging part playing Jenny?
01:49How do you relate, if you relate to your character in any way?
01:54I would say the most challenging part for Arianna, stepping into Jenny's shoes,
02:02was understanding her level of organization.
02:07Jenny is very type A. She's very on top of everything.
02:10She schedules, she plans.
02:12She's very much that way of thinking.
02:15For me, it was kind of bridging that gap because I'm very go with the flow.
02:18Figure it out. We're going to go and see.
02:21To bring that very dialed, very organized energy to Jenny,
02:26it was a fun experience.
02:29It taught me that I do have that within me.
02:32The action was just an absolute blast.
02:35It's something that I've always wanted to do.
02:38I felt at home in it. It was really fun.
02:42The movie talks, of course, about family, about justice, about human trafficking.
02:49What do you hope the audience takes away from this film?
02:54I hope the audience takes away the importance of family.
02:58Sometimes family is chosen, or sometimes the family chooses you.
03:03We have a working man that works with this Latino family.
03:08Whether he likes it or not, he's family.
03:11He's going to get chicken tinga on the way home.
03:14I guess there's always support if you go looking for it.
03:17You can find help.
03:20Some people are willing to do the help, like Jason stated.
03:23Some people are going to help themselves, like our girl here.
