00:00I've been looking at the America timeline over the last two years and I think that
00:13probably when you started to film this it was probably just post Barbie awardees and stuff?
00:17Yes. How was it going from that straight into this? Was it an adjustment period?
00:21No, it was really shortly after the Barbie campaign ended. But it was also really nice
00:32to jump into something creatively and shake it up. Getting a movie out in the world is
00:41fun but it's not the same as getting to do your work and making a movie. So it was really
00:48fun to get to just jump into another great creative process.
00:52Your character within this has at one point been in charge of the morale of all these kids
00:57who were terrified on the bus. But when it comes to these long days on set and Paul was telling
01:01me about the bus that you were on, it was hot and it was sweaty in there. Were you in charge
01:04of morale for all the young actors?
01:06You know, I mean I thought the kids were amazing. They were super professional. I know that they
01:11were definitely like looking to me and to Matthew for cues in terms of like
01:18you know professionalism and how do you behave on a set. And also a lot of the scenes were quite
01:24intense and so you know just them watching us stay in character and stay in you know in in quiet
01:32and kind of respects that people are working and you know they were fantastic. And I don't think any of
01:37them were newbies. These were all kids with like resumes and many credits to their names. So they were pros
01:42which was nice. How do you find the experience of working with Matthew next to you? I just saw you
01:47idling up, saddling up to next to you. Was he alright? Look happy and friends still?
01:50Yeah, Matthew's great. I mean I didn't know Matthew at all before we started working together and
01:57I just I really appreciated how um how focused and professional and how committed to the work he is.
02:05And um and you know we really just kind of jumped into the work. It wasn't much of like you know they're
02:11Mary and Kevin are strangers when they meet each other on on in the film and on the journey and
02:17and for all they know they're gonna spend 10 minutes together and it's gonna be like
02:21I'll never see you again you know. So so we actually didn't have to do that like oh let's have dinner and
02:28hang out and get to know each other before set because actually it really worked in our favor to
02:33get to know each other on camera actually and and find our way towards more intimacy the way that
02:40Kevin and Mary find themselves more like okay we've been through something you know and it did certainly
02:45feel that way uh as the weeks went on uh that we were going through something together and that that
02:52really formed the bond and and and you know what what what you see on screen and since then we've got
02:59to spend more kind of offset time together and it's been a blast and he's great and working with paul
03:05was amazing and it was a really great experience
