00:00I like to start with an elevator pitch. I usually ask the director to do that.
00:03Oh my gosh, how long is the elevator? How many floors are on the elevator?
00:07As many as you need.
00:12It's about a young woman who's going through a recent breakup,
00:15who's trying to navigate a year in her life and meets two men and gets very complicated.
00:21But really, at the end of the day, it's about an exploration of a very progressive female journey in today's times.
00:28And that young woman is here who plays your lead character.
00:32Yes, Jamie's right in the middle. He's so good.
00:34I mean, it was a stretch for me.
00:35Progressive. It's a progressive film.
00:36Very progressive.
00:38There was a beautiful balance on this film between feeling safe enough to explore true intimacy while also being actors.
00:46You know, that's a weird line to kind of walk and it did feel effortless with you and you as well.
00:52And our DP was a female and I think having that energy, the balance on set was very, there was a great balance on set between male and female crew.
01:01And I think that added to the overall comfort level of maybe everyone involved as well.
01:06And I just felt like we got to play for a month with friends and like deeply kind of connect in a way that you don't always get to as actors.
01:16And that ends up being the movie. It feels that way.
01:18Yeah.
01:19If you make it that way, you know, it doesn't feel like a movie and it doesn't feel like we're acting or we're directing.
01:23We're exploring something every time and we're looking at something a little bit differently in each different take and iterations.
01:29Like an observation almost, you know.
01:31Yeah, exactly.
01:32Yeah.
01:33Exactly.
01:34And let's keep the honesty and love going and go fishing.
01:36Oh, yeah.
01:37Should we do that?
01:38Yeah.
01:39Is this the bowl?
01:40That's the bowl.
01:41I'm building suspense.
01:42This is a trick.
01:44Very suspenseful.
01:45This feels really long, this one.
01:47What was your first impression of the person sitting to your right?
01:50My first impression of Shayling Woodley was, I always say this is the smallest industry in the world.
02:00I'd only heard amazing things with Shay from anyone I knew who'd worked with her.
02:04I think Shay's one of the nicest people I've ever met, let alone the nicest person, you know, I've ever worked with.
02:09So, yeah, all good things.
02:12There we go.
02:13There we go.
02:14There's the same question for you.
02:15He was promoting like crazy when I was promoting The Descendants.
02:18There was a playfulness in the way that I think, I mean, listen, it's no secret that it's very easy to become too involved in what we do.
02:27And you were the opposite of that.
02:29You really, and still are.
02:30And that's what I just love and admire the most about you is you love what you do because you love stories.
02:36First impression of Jamie, we did a Hugo Boss short film together about a year and a half ago.
02:40And that was, I remember we were like in Azerbaijan in the middle of nowhere.
02:43And I just remember arriving and being like, yeah, thank God, another golfer.
02:46And then we just like, just have that like, okay, we're going to be fine in the midst of all this insanity.
02:51I'm really proud of what we made.
02:53I mean, it's really cool to do that.
02:54And then it was just like, okay, well, let's just keep this going.
02:56And, you know, it's just, just, you just want to be around people that inspire you.
03:00And both of them are just so, so amazing in the movie.
03:03And I'm so excited for people to see it for that.
03:05What I'm really trying to say is that for his next five films, we will be in this movie.
03:08Yeah, I would, I'm in.
03:10I'm 100% in.
03:11Yes, please.
03:12I think I see a golfing romantic comedy or something.
03:14Yeah, we can do it.
03:15That's a good idea.
03:16His eyes got really big there.
03:18He's in.
03:19Finally.
03:20Yeah, finally.
03:21Yeah.
03:22Yeah.
03:23Yeah.
03:24Yeah.
03:25Yeah.
03:26Yeah.
