00:00I'd love to know what dreaming means to you. And now that you have accomplished a dream of being able to create as a filmmaker, what does remixing the dream look like for you after having hit it?
00:14Wow, that's a great question. I think dreaming just means remaining open to what's possible in your life, whether it's a new love or relocating to a new city, picking up a new passion. It's just not limiting yourself in terms of what's possible.
00:32I mean, I created my first film in my 40s. You know, like I think our business is often obsessed with youth and women of a certain age are overlooked and kind of dismissed and put out to pasture.
00:45And I'm hoping that this when I perform as Rodimus Prime, I'm often, you know, just I'm always so thrilled by how embraced I am by women of a certain age in the audience.
00:57You know, they'll tell me things like, wow, this gave me, you know, the little push I needed to go get another degree or to take on another lover. You know what I'm saying?
01:07And so I think the idea, hey, hey, because I'm a fan of that. Ladies, let's do it. 2020.
01:142020. I think it's, you know, I'm all about encouraging that idea. And the thing, I love this question about remixing the dream is now that the film is done, I can't say, oh, I wish, I can't wait to become a director because now I am officially.
01:34And so what does it mean to walk through the world having achieved something like that? I mean, I stand differently. I talk different, you know, because I did not only the hardest thing I could have ever done, but I think I kind of engaged in what I feel is the most radical act of self-care and self-love.
01:53And in a world that we're living in now, like self-love is a revolution. When so many people devalue our lives and our stories, for us to stand up and say, in spite of all of these no's and people saying, why you, you choosing yourself and putting yourself out there and then seeing what's possible, like just the idea that I've actually begun a career as a filmmaker in my 40s, I think says a lot about what's possible in terms of remixing dreams.
02:23And so on this one, let's see.
