00:00What about this project in particular kind of challenged you artistically?

00:04Well, you know, it's not, it's, the whole point of the film is it's supposed to be very enigmatic

00:09and, you know, my favorite pieces of art are always the ones that kind of enforce the audience

00:14to ask questions and, you know, it sparks conversation and debate, but also being on

00:19the other side of that and trying to find a thorough through line was a bit of a challenge

00:23in itself, but if I didn't have a leader as trustworthy as Trey and, you know, such an

00:27incredible collaborator and Abel and Barry as well, you know, I think having that support

00:33system made it much easier, but also it's challenging to insert yourself into such a personal story

00:37for somebody else and allow them to be vulnerable and create a safe space to do that, but then

00:41also share your own experiences.

00:43It just was a very touching filming process.

00:46Sure.

00:47You've also talked about how you would want to direct yourself soon.

00:50Is that something that we can look forward to you, look forward to soon?

00:53I don't know.

00:54There's also a lot of pressure on it, but I really would, and I think I would rather wait

00:57for the right time and when I feel ready and I'll know when that happens, but when I do

01:00it, I do want to be able to give all my time and effort in it and, you know, I'm working

01:04on projects I'm really excited about right now, so maybe, you know, once I, I like, yeah,

01:08everything needs its due time.
