00:00I finished shooting the movie like nine months ago and it's aptly nine months later I was like
00:06here we find ourselves like with this thing outside of my body having a relationship with
00:11the world on its kind of own regard and considering it's a film about iteration
00:18based on a book about memory and about how that iterates in your body and how you have the ability
00:25to control the evolution and realize honestly when you get the when there are certain pieces of work
00:33and or maybe even just like uh conversations that you can have with people or relationships that's
00:37that unlock this idea that you're like oh you mean like all of these truths can change I can change
00:42them all the things that I thought were facts that happened to me I can you mean like reality's
00:46malleable you mean like storytelling saves lives but I don't have to accept the prescribed story
00:54that is being shoved down my throat as a woman she was amazing she's an amazing director
00:59I mean it's we always say this it's like there aren't the right words to describe it but she blew
01:05me away and she is a true artist and her integrity is astounding and she was an incredible leader
01:16she treats everybody in her life and at work with grace and to see her take on this project
01:22and complete it was honestly it was like the highlight of it was a highlight of like my
01:28career to see someone like Kristen succeed at that when people ask me like why I didn't want to be in
01:33the film it's like I didn't want to um I didn't want to deprive myself of the relationship that I
01:37have had in the past with directors is I wanted to be able to see I wanted Imogen to iterate I wanted
01:44Imogen to take something that I gave her I wanted to this is a silly metaphor that I've been using today
01:50but it's kind of the only reason only way to describe it's like I planted all these seeds in
01:54like this huge field and I got to watch my best friend go pick my flowers like I it's like
01:59I didn't want to do that myself I didn't want to stare into a mirror I wanted to look into someone's
02:04eyes a fellow a girl who also had similar things to say and to discover and and sort of be able to
02:12have the the the the fire grow because two flames better than one um but yeah I wasn't scared it
02:22wasn't like trepidated like before no I'm so much more afraid of being an actor it's because everything
02:27about directing a movie nothing happens unless you make it happen nothing and it's like
02:32I'm like definitely about action I have a harder time in quiet rooms like took me a really long
02:40time to write this thank goodness I needed to be the exact person I am right now to make this movie
02:45but um no I wasn't I wasn't afraid it was more just like um ravenous crazy had to tell myself to
02:55calm down all the time it's like don't speak too loud nobody will hear you you have to like center
02:59yourself and chill but when you hire actors like Imogen Poots who can meet you on that level
03:06that's the thing also about directing is like you you must find people that can meet you if you ever
03:11feel like too much for someone or like it's then goodbye like the process it's the process is so
03:16important and you need to like safeguard that the the right people should not scare you they should
03:23light mutual fires
03:25you
03:31you
