"It’s just great that after 3 years of work people are embracing it with the same spirit that we hoped they would, and the spirit we put into it, because we really cared about this story," Ramsey said.
00:00First reaction to the Golden Globes carpet, how has it been so far?
00:04So far so good. Pretty glittery, glittery.
00:07Literally. Literally.
00:08It's glittery and spangly.
00:11Yeah, no, it's been really nice. Super positive.
00:14You can't believe we're here.
00:16So what are you guys most looking forward to for tonight?
00:21Wow. I don't know. Winning?
00:24It'd be nice.
00:26You're not supposed to say that.
00:26I would take it.
00:27Honestly, being in the company of people who I've admired, filmmakers, actors, all the people in the business that you look up to and that you have the same love that you try to put into your work and you see the people who inspired you, so that's pretty awesome.
00:45Yeah. I mean, if someone had told me like 15 years ago, 15 years from now, you might lose something to Wes Anderson, I'd be like, you know what? That sounds pretty good.
00:55Yeah. Not so bad. Not so bad.
00:58And the movie has had such an amazing response.
01:01So I'm wondering for you guys, what has been the greatest part about putting this film out into the world finally?
01:06And have you had a favorite fan reaction?
01:08Oh, yeah, definitely.
01:10I mean, I think we were working so hard.
01:13We were very late in delivering the film, so we didn't really have a moment of, like, pause before reactions started pouring in.
01:20So it was kind of shocking to immediately go from, you know, the mixed stage to a premiere and a release.
01:28But, like, the positivity has been so incredible.
01:32And I think, I mean, there's one really good story that Rodney has, but I have, like, one that I shared with you from a friend of my son's, a father of a really good friend of my son.
01:44And saw this movie and sent a really incredible, like, DM to me about how, you know, he grew up in Brooklyn.
01:56He was sort of this really sort of nerdy, somewhat cool kid who loved Peter Parker and saw this film with his son and was just, like, effusively just, like, talking about how if he had this when he was a kid, how much it would have meant to him.
02:14And he was so happy to share it with his son.
02:16And so for me, like, those moments just make you go, oh, this is wonderful.
02:20It's just great that, you know, after three years of work, that people are embracing it with the spirit that we hoped they would and the spirit that we put into it.
02:30Because we really cared about this story.
02:32I mean, we've got a crew of, what, 800 people, something like that.
02:35And everyone really, like, so deeply cared about telling this story the way that we told it and with the heart that we feel it has.
02:44So it's great that people actually are picking up on that and that it means something to them.
02:49I mean, Barry Jenkins calling us out on Twitter was pretty good.
02:53You know, we're huge, huge fans.
02:55I'm still not over that.
02:56I know.
02:57I'll never be.
02:57There's someone who reached out to us who told us a story where he said that he went to see the movie with his seven-year-old son.
03:03And there's this one scene in the movie that's about a father talking to his son through a door, and it's heavy.
03:09And this guy, you know, started to cry during the scene.
03:12And he was worried it was too, like, much for his son.
03:15And he looked at his son, and he said his son was crying.
03:18And then he said that they hug.
03:20And, like, that's, like, I was, at that point, I was, like, I'm just going to put this in this folder I keep of things I never want to forget.
03:26And, like, that's, you know, making, working on a movie that can make that happen is, you know, is all of it.
