00:03Hey everyone, I'm Fabiana Bontempo and I am here in New York City for the world premiere of the new
00:07Universal Pictures movie.
00:27We're in a movie theater with everybody here on the red carpet. I'm not sure how many premieres of the
00:31East Coast have happened.
00:32So this is amazing that we can be here. The idea that even in that theater that a lot of
00:40people that's their first time in a theater after a year and a half is very moving.
00:46To be a part of that experience, that's all I care about.
00:49It was the most amazing experience ever, I think, just to be able to hang out with my dad and
00:54see him in his element and then also be learning and growing myself as a creator with him by my
01:00side that there's nothing like that.
01:01I've always respected his work so to have the opportunity to work with him, it felt like once in five
01:07times.
01:08It's wild to see it come together as a piece. It's so much bigger in my mind. The beach and
01:16we were just running around and swimming. So it's odd that it's a movie now.
01:21Totally. We were filming a scene that started raining out of nowhere. So they brought a bunch of umbrellas and
01:26I was sitting under one.
01:28And I wanted to sit down because it was a bit of a long scene and I was wanting to
01:31relax.
01:31And I looked over and there was one of the dogs right next to me because there were dogs all
01:35over the set, like stray ones.
01:36And it was so adorable.
01:38Being one of the beach is one of the people. Being one of the beach with six to seven hours
01:41of latex makeup, one of the great things for me was at the end of the day,
01:45we found out that the quickest and easiest way to get more makeup is to swim into the sea and
01:50let the salt water get underneath it.
01:52So part of my ritual would be at night to swim and then come out with a handful of my
01:59wrinkles.
01:59This is my first film this size, so for me particularly it was exciting, a huge learning experience, and I
02:09don't think I want anything to go different.
02:11What was it like working on this movie? This is a big deal.
02:14It's a very big deal. It felt like I was nervous, but I had so much fun.
02:21It was a very intense experience working on this job in November 2020 and I was like in the middle
02:32of the pandemic and flew down to the Dominican Republic and they had their pod and I joined it and
02:40it was incredible.
02:42It's really just a crazy experience because I mean like we were on a great amazing beach with amazing filmmakers
02:47and amazing TPs and everything and I mean it was just so amazing. It was so cool.
02:53Everyone was just so nice and supportive and it was just a great environment even though we had the whole
02:59pandemic rolling around us.
03:01It felt like we had our you know we had our own COVID bubble and it was like a close
03:06-knit community.
03:06And they and we had our own COVID pandemic that ended up with everything.
03:07And we had their own COVID.
03:07That's what we were doing.
03:07Now, I'm just not here.
03:08I'm not here.
03:09I give up a minute.
03:10I'm here.
