00:05I feel like I meet women every day that inspire me and kind of everyone has a story you know
00:11everyone has something that's special about them so I feel constantly inspired by women and by all
00:19their different stories. Falling Up is a short film that we made to begin this new journey of
00:25my collaboration with Bell Staff. We came up with the idea of sort of honoring and taking on the role
00:34of Amelia Earhart who was a Bell Staff woman. What was so interesting about her is that she was so
00:40driven by her passion to fly and to accomplish these challenges that she wasn't focused on the
00:47normal traditional role of a woman and I think that's really amazing and inspiring. When I first
00:54was told that we were going to do the film based on Amelia Earhart's life I got very excited and
01:00so
01:00I thought oh I'll learn to fly and take some lessons and I could learn to ride a motorcycle and
01:05then I
01:06found out that I was pregnant so I couldn't do any of those things. I feel like my everyday presence
01:13as a woman inspires my children. Looking back in our history women have always been part of Bell Staff
01:20from the very beginning and if you look at Liv she's beautiful she's elegant and for us it's a
01:24shorthand to reach out and show exactly who the Bell Staff woman is. I've been working with Bell Staff a
01:31lot
01:31this year and kind of a dream come true to be able to make all your favorite pieces you've ever
01:36wanted
01:36to make and so that's been really fun. It's so different from the world of filmmaking. There's
01:43something so immediate about fashion that I really like so I enjoy getting to kind of dip my toes into
01:49both worlds. I executive produce Outlaws. I actually wish they used David a lot more and I think he's a
01:58really really good actor and he's very natural and he has the aura of like an old movie star that
02:04I find
02:04really amazing and I would like to see him act even more than he did in Outlaws. Maybe we need
02:10to do an Outlaws 2.
