00:00Most of your dialogue in the film is in English, but some is in Romanian.
00:03So I was wondering, how often do you speak Romanian?
00:06Have you done that before for a role?
00:08And what did it mean to play a Romanian character being from there?
00:12Well, I do speak Romanian fluent.
00:15I speak with my mom all the time and I have some friends that are still there.
00:20And it was very meaningful for me to be able to do this movie because I've been meaning to to
00:25work in Romania
00:27or in some capacity connect myself to this past that I have, reconnect.
00:33And the movie really afforded me to do that.
00:35Has your family seen the film?
00:37Yes, my mom saw the movie on Sunday night here at the New York Film Festival.
00:42And I think she was proud and very happy.
00:46And, you know, again, particularly for her generation and my generation, too,
00:51I think she understood that way of how we grew up.
00:56You know, which was which was featured in the movie.
