00:00Can you talk to me a little about working with Brian Tyree Henry in the scene where Daniel and Fani are sitting at the table and he's opening up about his own experiences?
00:08I think in the book that's one of the most harrowing things and it comes across great in the film.
00:13So can you talk to me a little bit about how you two work together to get that moment?
00:16Yeah, it was interesting because, you know, people like Brian, Pedro Pascal, Diego Luna, you know, Dave Franco, Emily Rios, all these people came in for like a day.
00:26You know, so they would parachute into production.
00:28So it was really tricky trying to build the same rapport with them that we had with the main cast, with the main troupe.
00:34What I love about Brian is Brian's a Baldwin zealot, you know, and so he understood that character backwards and forwards.
00:40And he also understood its role in the course of the narrative.
00:44And so for me, it was just about getting to this point where Brian and Stefan could organically break down these walls.
00:50That sometimes, I want to say black men, but I think all men, these walls we put up between each other,
00:54because we don't want to show another man our true most vulnerable selves.
00:59And I think Brian understood that it was a process of peeling back these layers of the course of the scene.
01:03I think he did a wonderful job at it.
