00:00I had to audition a couple times for this and like the last time I went it was with Steve and
00:04Obviously, I play his son in this film, but it was immediately I felt like I was in the I don't know like in the protection of a paternal figure
00:17Okay, so how you doing? I'm doing great. You know just um
00:24Just doing what needs to be done
00:26What does that mean? I'm sorry dad um
00:30Why don't we just have lunch and talk? We can do that, right?
00:34This is the story of a family going through a
00:39Harrowing period of their life when the dad discovers that his son is a drug addict. It's a beautiful portrait of a very loving family and
00:48Shows how they deal with it. It's based on two memoirs
00:52Both David and Nick the father and the son wrote their point of view and
00:56And it just laid out in a very simple way how complex this issue is too often people still think that
01:06Being addicted is a moral failure and and as a choice and it's not a disease and I felt that turning the story into a film
01:14Have the potential of showing that to a lot of people and I heard the chefs are here today
01:19Did you guys meet them at all before filming or during filming to discuss your parts?
01:25We did yeah, we both we both spent some time with them
01:27I mean obviously I spent more time with David and they were on set a little bit as well
01:33I think about halfway through
01:34Yeah, they visited us when we were shooting in San Francisco or Marin County around there
01:38And like Steve said, I hung out with Nick a little bit more and then then I would have David prior to the shoot
01:43but got a sense put when an
01:47extraordinary human being this guy is and
01:49What a what a what a loving family they have and I guess that's what unites us all as family members is the bonds between us
01:56But that's an extraordinary family that is really it's pretty incredible
02:00I mean and and the fact that they were so generous with their story as well and so forthcoming
02:05The fact that they you know, they wrote these books and then they allowed
02:12Essentially strangers to interpret those books into a film
02:15I think it's a big leap of faith on their part
02:17Steven I've always talked about wanting to work together again and to be honest I
02:22I had never dreamed it would have been in this story
02:25But this story came along first and I was so eager to be a part of it
02:28I think it really helped having
02:31History with each other and a deep friendship and respect
02:37That we were able to draw upon although this the relationship in the film is
02:43They're a bit more fractured
02:46But they find this common bond and love and then step aside and do anything for their their son
02:51But it did I remember our first take together. I just started laughing which was really widely inappropriate for our movie
03:00It took a moment just for me to regroup
03:05To our to our story here, but um, but I think it just really lent to the sense of family in history
03:12Were you wildly inappropriate laughing during scenes, too?
03:15No, I was completely professional
03:17комнаies
03:19Of my experience
03:21But you couldiggaz can do that
03:22Because I maximum now
03:23So let me speak
03:24To yourself
03:24You
