00:00We all loved Savages, and that was 10 years ago here at Sundance, I think.
00:04Yes, it was.
00:05So, what took so long, like why did it take a long time for you to get this?
00:10This movie made.
00:11I had a kid, and after I made The Savages, I sort of had this...
00:15I actually thought that I would, on top of doing my own writing,
00:20that maybe I would get a good book sent my way.
00:25And, you know, and that never happened, which was very...
00:30interesting from a female director point of view.
00:34You know, I was like...
00:35doing a little math, and I looked, I saw that Deborah Granick, it's been eight years...
00:40and she made a dramatic feature that Patty James...
00:45Jenkins hadn't made a movie for 10 years before she made, you know, that little picture.
00:50Wonder Woman, and, you know, a good friend of mine.
00:55Alison McLean is incredibly brilliant.
00:57It was 15 years between her two movies.
01:00I'm not saying there's a pattern there, but...
01:03But there's kind of a pattern there.
01:04But there's a pattern there.
01:05I mean, and Mary Herron, a really long time between movies.
01:08It's so funny.
01:09I...
01:10I guess I just feel like so joyful after that screening last night of seeing this movie that I'm like...
01:15celebrating this moment of Tamra, who's a female director, writer...
01:20I felt the movie was so strongly woman that I was like, take as long as you want.
01:25Yeah.
01:26Because the product is so beautiful that I'm just in the moment...
01:30to celebrate that as a woman, of like, you know, enjoying being an artist...
01:35and being creative is the most important.
01:37You can get in that mode of being afraid, or what's next, or I don't have enough...
01:40It's like a never-ending cycle, like you were saying, and I just choose to focus on what...
01:45It is.
01:46And that's what I want to say.
