00:00Not giving notes to other actors, you know, like that's very different to having a collaborative relationship with another actor where you can go to them and say, what did you think?
00:07Tell me, like anything.
00:09Is there anything I should do differently?
00:10And I've always had that, actually.
00:12I've always been very fortunate to create on-set working relationships with actors where you all like look out for each other or you can say, that was really good.
00:20Do that one again.
00:21Or like do that one again and like a bit of the one that you did before.
00:23I've always really enjoyed that.
00:25No, I, you know, it was definitely a juggle.
00:29It was really, it was a juggle.
00:30It was completely a juggle because when you say directing yourself, you're not really directing yourself at all.
00:34You're just thinking quickly, okay, what other options can I try?
00:37Like how can I make sure I get into the edit and I've got lots and lots of things to choose from?
00:41So for me, it was really about that and just being ready with my options, really super prepared.
00:45I learned the whole film like a play beforehand because the one thing I knew I wasn't going to literally have the time to do was actually sit down and be learning lines for those huge scenes.
00:53And, and then quite honestly, like I would rely on Joe, you know, if Joe was there, which he was for the, I had seven weeks to shoot.
01:04It was only seven weeks and I had Helen Mirren for 16 days.
01:07I love how you just went and you made a face there.
01:09Yeah, it was, it was like that.
01:11Yeah.
01:11First time director, seven weeks and seven children.
01:14It was completely nuts.
01:17I bet I didn't sit down for the whole entire time.
01:20Like it was ridiculous.
01:20Um, but I did absolutely love it.
01:24And, you know, in moments when I felt like, shit, I don't know what that was like.
01:27Oh my God, I have no idea.
01:28I would go to Joe and I'd be like, tell me anything.
01:31Was that shit?
01:31And he'd be like, kind of fed the one before.
01:34Because your family will tell you.
01:36Family will always, they'll always tell you the truth, you know.
01:39And I'd be like, anything, tell me anything I should try.
01:42And he'd say, well, what about the version?
01:43When do you remember when we were, do you remember when we were first rehearsing this and you had this idea about blah, blah.
01:48And I'd be like, oh, I forgot about that.
01:50Okay, I'll try that.
01:51It was great.
01:52It was great.
