00:00If your cast had a theme song, what would it be?
00:05Ah, we had a song.
00:07Yeah, we had a song, right?
00:08We had a song, yeah, yeah.
00:09We were...
00:09But we were in Cuba, can't you imagine?
00:11I mean, you're surrounded by music constantly.
00:13So great songs.
00:14We had a song.
00:15It wasn't the one about this guy, Funk...
00:18¿Cómo se llama? Funkasonic?
00:19Yeah, exactly.
00:20Ah, Funk.
00:21Funk.
00:23Funk.
00:24Funk.
00:24Sima Funk.
00:24Sima Funk.
00:25Sima Funk.
00:25Me voy...
00:27Pa mi casa.
00:28Me voy...
00:29Pa mi casa.
00:30Pa mi casa.
00:31Pero si quiere me voy pa la tuya.
00:33Yeah, yeah.
00:34It's a...
00:35Me...
00:35Tu casa, right?
00:36Me voy pa...
00:36I'm going home, but if you want...
00:39Sima Funk.
00:39But if you want, I'll go to yours.
00:41Yeah, exactly.
00:41I'm going home, but if you want me, I go with...
00:44I go with you, exactly.
00:45I go to yours.
00:46You get the...
00:47Catch the track.
00:54What is your director's most used phrase on set?
01:00Uh...
01:01Uh...
01:01Uh...
01:02Uh...
01:02Uh...
01:03On tourne.
01:04On tourne.
01:05We shoot, we shoot.
01:06Let's shoot.
01:07Let's shoot another one.
01:07Yes, exactly.
01:09Let's shoot.
01:10Let's shoot.
01:11Yeah, because we had only...
01:12I mean, there were moments where we had three takes.
01:14Yeah.
01:15Because they were taking the planes for closing the airspace in Cuba.
01:18You have no idea.
01:19Yeah.
01:20You have no idea.
01:20I mean, like, we were...
01:24Uh...
01:24We had really difficult stuff to do.
01:27And sometimes we had so, so, so little time to, you know, to...
01:34I mean, especially when we were shooting the planes.
01:37I mean, you know what I mean?
01:38It's...
01:39Everything had to be done very, very fast.
01:42Or we had some specific locations only for a very limited time.
01:47So, sometimes I would be frantic.
01:49But the thing is, is because I, uh, hate rehearsing.
01:53I hate, uh, for the actors to be waiting on set.
01:57I mean, what I always aim for is that the, the actors can walk on the set
02:01and just be on, and be on camera.
02:03And so, so we forget we're making a film.
02:05Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:06I was gonna say that.
02:07It's not the most repeated one.
02:09But it's one that always happened when there was a new person coming in.
02:12It was like, we don't rehearse.
02:15So, it was like, uh...
02:17But, but I have a question.
02:18Let's just shoot.
02:19Let's just do it.
02:20Let's just do it.
02:20Okay, okay.
02:21But yeah, what is the question?
02:22Okay.
02:22Yeah, yeah.
02:23Well, we'll find out.
02:24We'll find out.
02:24It's interesting.
02:25We don't rehearse.
02:25You shoot, you get it wrong.
02:27And then you know what the, you know, maybe you get the answer to the question.
02:31Exactly.
02:32On my first day of shooting, I mean, I had met Olivier a couple of times before.
02:36But in my first day, I shot my very first scene in the film.
02:40And I was like, wow, it's my last scene.
02:43And then I arrived there, and Olivier said, you sit here, and there's this report that you're here.
02:48And then, okay, so he said, and he said, roll camera!
02:51I was like, oh!
02:52Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:54That's it.
02:55Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:56And then he came to the hotel that afternoon saying, Edgar, Olivier does not rehearse at all.
03:01And I said, no, he doesn't.
03:02So I forgot to mention that.
03:04Yeah.
03:04And so we were playing with Cuban accents and everything, so we were a little bit like, oh!
03:09You know, it was a bit daunting, no?
03:10Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:11Well, I mean, that's, it's the best to do.
03:13I mean, when, if you think about getting into the cold water and you're like, oh!
03:16Yeah, you might as well just, somebody push you, you know, to the water.
03:20You're really playing.
03:21No, so the thing is that sometimes you get great first takes.
03:26Often you get great first takes, but even when you get very bad first takes, at least it focuses on
03:32the problems.
03:33You know, it's not, because if you, when you're rehearsing, you kind of ask yourself the wrong questions.
03:38You start, you start analyzing and discussing things and it's, and it kind of destroys the energy and destroys the,
03:45the, the spontaneity.
03:47So if you shoot, you know what the real problems are.
03:51And, and you solve those problems.
03:53That's true.
03:54And, and, and, and, and, and you, and you can move on.
03:58That's true.
04:00There's a lot to play over time.
04:00You have to play
