00:00Hi, I'm Alisha Wainwright and you're watching LifeMinute.tv.
00:13The film is about my character who goes home to plan her wedding and spend the week with
00:17her mom.
00:18But what you come to find out is that none of that is true and it's sort of about the
00:22relationship between mother and daughter.
00:25It was really important for me to make this film because as I was raised by a single mom,
00:29I also met my dad in my adult life like this character in the film does and it drastically
00:35changed my life.
00:36Christine is an icon.
00:39What I love about her is that she knows what she wants and she effectively communicates it
00:44and I feel like as young women we're always very like trying to please and trying to make
00:49sure where everyone else is good around us but I think what she has taught me is to kind
00:54of command a little bit more of my own space and I think that has changed the way I work
00:58and live in my own personal life.
01:00I hope that they can take away the conversations we have about family, connection and who we
01:05blame for our own problems.
01:07I feel like that's pretty relatable.
01:09It's about a biracial young woman who is in search of her father and I play her mother
01:18and I am not helpful or supportive.
01:21I'm kind of an evil mom which is kind of typecasting I guess because I've been playing a lot of
01:26evil moms.
01:27I love the character.
01:28She's really complicated and flawed.
01:30I think it's really about how to move on as an adult.
01:33We're all scarred from childhood.
01:34We just have to figure out how to have some kind of clarity, closure, understanding and
01:40then move on and not be held back by what happened to us as kids.
01:46It's a really personal tale and I really wanted to create a very buoyant, vibrant, fast moving
01:54fun world for what's a very ultimately touching and true and earnest film.
02:01I was so lucky with the cast and crew.
02:03The cast was just fearless and amazing and so fun to work with.
02:07All of the characters are very messy.
02:09No one has like a clear answer for you in this film and hopefully what audiences will get
02:15is a connection to all of these people as complicated and as sometimes destructive as they can be
02:20to one another.
