00:00I would like to know first, John, what was the biggest emotional channel returning to this role?
00:08I think flip-flopping to the father character and the struggles that Bart is and was going through during those
00:16times.
00:17It was a challenge, but it was, I wouldn't say a fun challenge, but it meant a lot to me
00:25to walk through that and portray that.
00:27Bart, how did it mean to you to see this new chapter of your life on screen again?
00:34It's surreal is a good word. It's really special. I mean, I trusted the guys that made the first movie.
00:40I knew it was in good hands, but I probably, I don't know if I was convinced it was a
00:46story worth telling, but then going through it and seeing the script and watching the final product was like, you
00:53know,
00:53So I think sometimes you think movies are, sometimes movies are for an escape or tell these unbelievable stories about
01:00crazy things that happen.
01:01Other stories are told just so that people can relate and say, oh, I'm not alone in this.
01:06And that's certainly what this movie is, is if people that are struggling with whatever it is realize, oh, I'm
01:11not the only one going through this, then it's, it's all worth it.
01:14Sammy, so tell me, how would you describe the relationship between Bart and Sam?
01:21I mean, throughout the movie, we see a lot of myths in connection. And I feel like that's something that
01:30a lot of, of people can really relate with.
01:34I mean, I personally relate with it in, in several ways. And I feel like we come to movies to,
01:40to know that we're not alone to connect.
01:42And I feel like this film really, really helps you connect and, and, and look at your own life.
01:48John, what have you learned from Bart, from your character?
01:53Honestly, a lot, truly a lot. Uh, I've said it before, but, uh, these guys are like my big brothers,
01:59you know, they're all about 10 to 15 years older than me.
02:02And they're all a little further down the road than I am. And to, to see them walk through some
02:08of the struggles and some of the great times with the humility and the grace that they do.
02:12And to be vulnerable and honest and truthful about it, uh, is really inspiring to me as a young father
02:18and a, and a young parent and, you know.
02:20Bart, what do you expect, uh, if there is any message you would like the, the audience to take away
02:26after watching the movie?
02:28Yeah, I think we, um, you know, with social media and stuff like that, we try to pretend that our
02:34lives are better than they are sometimes or hide the flaws.
02:36And, and in real life, you have to find a way to, like we say in the movie, to, to
02:41hold grief and gratitude at the same time.
02:43Uh, we're, we're, we're not fortunate enough to, to have them separate very often.
02:48And, uh, and whether it's us trying to find the hope in the moments when we hit rock bottom,
02:53or just being realistic about when things are very good, that it's like, this isn't how it always is going
02:59to happen.
02:59And there's a balance in that. And, and, and just for people to be present and enjoy their lives where
03:05they are in the moment.
03:06And that, that God has a reason, even though we don't understand it, of why we're going through certain things.
03:11And that he still sits on his throne is a big deal to me. And it's important to me.
03:14And that's what I hope people take away with this, is that you have a story to tell and it's
03:18still being written.
03:19And, uh, and, uh, it's, there's highs and lows in it, but it's, it's, uh, it's your story worth telling.
03:25Samy, for you, what was more challenging, playing the music, the emotional part?
03:30I mean, all of it's pretty challenging. I mean, you're coming into someone's life that, um, you're trying to, like,
03:38encapsulate and put onto screen.
03:40And so there's, there's a little bit of, there's a, there's a fear in there a little bit that, uh,
03:44you're like, oh, can I get it?
03:45Um, but I feel like on this set, everything, all the challenges, they, they were outweighed by the love and,
03:54and the, the whole crew having my back.
03:58Um, yeah.
