00:00Gina, I've read a few interviews where you said you really just wanted to have this story where the women were tough and courageous and bold.
00:09And all of your stories have that, that women in the middle of the whole moment and they're tough and they're courageous and bold.
00:17How important for you was it when you read that script to be like, oh, I can I can put a black woman here and I can make her shine when you were deciding to be a part of the project?
00:30Yeah, I mean, that just reading it and the fact that these women, both Andy and Niall were warriors and there it just was it was there was a normalcy to it.
00:40There was no big traumatic event that happened that forced them to suddenly be tough.
00:45It was just there. And for me, I mean, I grew up an athlete.
00:49The women around me my whole life are like that. They're just fighters. They're tough. They're ambitious.
00:55They're athletes. And I wanted to, I think, in this film and really in all of my work, just reframe what it means to be a female, understand, let women know, and certainly black women know that we have that inside of us.
01:10You know, courage has no gender. Badass has no gender.
01:14You either have it or you don't. And you see the way that we have moved through the world and survived through this world.
01:19We have that. And I'm going to honor it.
01:21I want to put it up on the big screen and let everyone see it for us.
