  Speaker 4: Seth was probably there. Yeah, yeah, which is funny because like, now.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Did you ever tell him that story? Sam Green?
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I shouldn't tell him that. I don't
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: know why. I just thought I think I remembered you
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: were in because then we went to see the movie,
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: We're like, yeah, Like Hollywood's fun.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: So so for Grays, when it comes to working with
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: direct who did you feel you learn from the most?
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: Well? Number one be David Trainer. And I'm not saying
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: that because you're David directed every single episode of that
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: seven show, which is very rare in a sitcom, and
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: I maintain I told him this we would lunch. Recently,
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: I was like, if you had been sick one day,
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: if he'd missed one day of that show, the show
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: would have fallen above. But he knew us all before
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: it happened, and he knew how to kind of wrangle everyone,
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: and he was he's kind of stage guy, like, yeah,
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: he comes from the theater, and he actually pushed me
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: to do theater, which I did, and he actually, I
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: don't know if you know when I did that play,
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: I mean you came to see it. He flew to
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: New York to see it was like just wonderful. So
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: the most from him, and I could tell you one
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: hundred separate things that he taught me besides just decorum
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: and how to act on a set. Winner and then
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: after that I would.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Say, I mean you had you Sam Rammy. Yeah, it's
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: funny with Christopher.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: Soberg Spike Lee, but but specifically with Sodaberg expect Lee.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: They say very little, so I don't think.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I think they trust their castings.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: We're just like, if I want to be a director,
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: I think I can learn a lot from them. As
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: an actor. You're kind of like very appreciative yours. They
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: just like they I think it's because Stephen comes from
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: documentary filmmaking. So I remember one time asking him because
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: I was used to getting more direction than he was
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: giving me, which is zero, and I was like, hey,
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: I mean he was walking around with the camera filming
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: it different ways. I'd say like, hey, do you want
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: me to do you have any direction for me? Or
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: do you want me to do it this way? And
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: he went, oh, I don't know. It's such a great
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: answer because it's true. He's like, I don't want to
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: put my fingerprints on your So those guys I admire
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: a lot, and their films are amazing, but I don't know.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: I guess I did learn something about trust and trusting
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: your teammates. But they're so do your own thing. They
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: don't do a lot of takes. And Chris Nolan's like
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: that too. I had a small role in Interstellar, but
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: he did like you think he does like one hundred
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: takes because films are so precise, but he's so precise
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: that he only does like one or two.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Wow, And does he did you get a lot of
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: direction from him?
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: No?
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: No, No.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: I think mostly what I've learned from them is that
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: the masters and I'm sure This is true for people
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: who were masters before I started working that they they
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: are so dialed in and know what they want that
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: like production is not an afterthought, but it's like they've
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: figured it all out. You're the person who is supposed
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: to be playing the role. This is the person supposed
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: to doing wardrobe, and it's almost like I think an exercise.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: They could take themselves out of it almost a little bit.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: You know what I worked with who I really loved
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: who was like that is Curtis Hansen. He passed, but
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: he did like La Confidential eight mile and stuff, and
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: he's he did too big to fail, and he he
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: was like that. He was like he didn't want to tell.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: He was like overseeing the process to make sure no
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: one interfered with anyone and everyone did their best work.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: And then you watch the thing and you go, right,
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: just brilliant. I'll Spike, it's amazing. The other thing I've
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: learned from all those guys that I just mentioned, they're
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: all really fun. You think they're serious, especially Chris, probably
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: because you know his films are so serious and Spike
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: maybe you'd think is serious, but they are like you're
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: having a blast, Like the energy is always at like
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: seventy two degrees with you know, thirty percent chance. It's
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: like always like it I'm perfect. They never let it dip.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: They also don't let it get too crazy. Like it's
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: just they're kind of masters of what the tone is.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: And I love, love working with those guys. I mean,
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: and you're not you guys have worked with directors like this.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: You're not just excited to work with them because you
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: think the film's gonna be a hit. It truly is
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: like if the film were never to come out. It's
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: truly a great experience.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: I have a couple of friends were in the Odyssey, right,
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: not shooting that's going to be a very challenging shoot.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: For what I hear, it's like pretty challenging. Oh yeah,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: it's just like, yeah, the scope of it right, pretty cool.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: I mean you're talking about four thousand.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: But said, I'm telling you, he's a funny guy, Like
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: I had a lot of laughs with him, like you would.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: You would love him, like you guys would really get along.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: And it's like they always make sure, you know, it's
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: like they take it so seriously and then they don't
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: take it too seriously, which is kind of great. Actors too.
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: I think maybe well he's.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: He's like he has the perfect scenario. He can ask
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: studio give me three hundred million dollars and then yeah,
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: you know, it's like so he's like, you know how
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: back at it being when you're on said with him,
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: it's kind of amazing.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I do feel, you know.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: I remember doing Fast Nation with Richard Ling later and
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: he he was also.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: That I die to work with him.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: He was so yeah, but then he would just like
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: it was a vibe.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: You know, that's right, that's right.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: You know, he come in and he he'd be like
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Wilmer for you, it's like like why not first time everything?
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Do it again?
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: And like you go back and then he's like action
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: and then he say cut and he'll be like.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, good, thank you.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Like so, like you said, dude, it's a vibe.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: I think the best director is they know that the
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: whole thing is depending on like the floor.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: They're they're like it's an orchestra, right, Like they're just
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: like pulling here, pushing there, you know, and and it's
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: he's letting it move on its own, but he's like
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: just guiding it a little bit.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Tarantino was like that I did. I did a
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: movie called Grindhouse. Who was Robert Rodriguez.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: Don't tell me he doesn't talk a lot though, Quinn. Yeah,
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: don't tell me. He's like the silent No.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: No, man, No, he's.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: You know he what you see is what you yet
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: you know, like like he wears his heart on his sleeve.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Was so gracious and nice to me.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Well, he I starred in Roberts Have but there were
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: supposed to be two movies that we were shooting back
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: to back. But he was there during the whole experience and.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Direct because he was a feature.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: It was a double feature, but he was doing he
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: was directing what the unit on.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: No, No, he's so so. Our movie was called Planetarror.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, but but he was doing his own thing correct.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: But he was just there like while we were shooting
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: our thing, because he just wanted to be part of
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: the experience. And there'll be times that Robert will be like, hey, Quentin,
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: just direct the scene. Man, I'm gonna go like step
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: in and direct the scene. You know, great, yeah, yeah,
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: but but you see the genius.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Man, it's unexplainable.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: He's he's a library of film Uh, and it's so
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: like effortless, but you just you feel the genius just
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: not them.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: It's it's so effortless.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: If he gives you a lot of stuff to think about,
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: is that difficult?
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: No? Did he give me a lot of.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: Stuff like when he comes up to you in between.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: No, he's just very instinctual, you know. You know, you
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: never like went the film score anything. He's all instinct,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: you know. So if you're doing a scene, like it's
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: all about his instinct and he's like, no, do it
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: a little more this way, a little that way. But
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: you but you feel that it's coming from a from
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: a place that is so seeped in like film history,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: and it's.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: Coming pure love, like pure love, totally totally.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: But I worked with the Hughes brothers. I think we
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: had this conversation at dinner.
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: I did a movie called Dead Presidents with those guys,
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: and probably out of all of the directors I ever
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: worked with, I learned the most from them because and
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: I think maybe this had to do we're so young
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: at the time and uh, like we had like a
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: couple of weeks of rehearsal before we shot the movie,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: and it wasn't even like rehearsal, really like rehearsing scenes.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: But every night we would sit down and watch a
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: movie and they would tell us why a movie was
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: good and why it wasn't, why a performance was good
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: and why it wasn't. It was like the best film
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: school I'd ever wold, and they were so gracious.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: With that knowledge and with their time.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: You know, So do you think your transition into a
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: director at some point?
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: I think you'd be such a good director.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: Because because you know, I know, we in some of
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: our notes that our producers are here gracefully.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Really really worked hard on it.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: We're talking about home economics, because you were almost every
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: possible had you could think of, from the editing room
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: to the writer's room to.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: I was in the writer's room, but you know, but
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: you you had you create that. No, it was a
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: great script that I read that I loved, and everyone
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: was nice enough to really let me be a part.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: You know those things what they say, we want you
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: to be a producer, but then they're kind of like
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: but not really right. But these guys were in order
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: for you to say yes, yeah, exactly. But they were
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: awesome and I got to participate as much as I
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: wanted to. I kind of didn't want to go into
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: the writer's room because I thought they were so talented
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: and it was very funny. I love that show and Carla.
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: Carla is amazing. I really loved working I mean I
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: love working with everyone on that show.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: You love working with her more than you working with.
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: Me, i'd say, by double or triple.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Wait, that's a lot.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well that's a lot. Like just putting you guys
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: in that instantly sweat right now, thinking about both of
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: you guys in my mind, I go like, how are
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: you even acting?
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: But you wore so many hats, right, So I was wondering,
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: why haven't you thought that directing is something because you
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: think about all the details and you pay attention.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: To all that.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: That's very kind you to say, I.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: It's very kind.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: Made a little too kind, a little, I might just
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: take it back. I feel like I don't have a
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: visual sense, Like when I'm reading a script, I'm whenever
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: I go on set, I'm like, oh, that's a better idea.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: Like my idea of how to shoot it is like
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: the wrong idea, and the directors.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: Grab an amazing DP right, who knows how to put
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: the lenses where you need to need them. You could
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: really guide a total innovative story.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: Well I would. I would work for you if you
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: were directing something. But I for me, I'm like, I
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: feel like a jack of all trades, like I really have.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: I feel like I had a natural skill at acting,
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: you know, proved by the fact that I ever acted,
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: and then I got the show and so I'm very
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: happy to do that and love it. And then I've
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: loved educating myself about editing more, educating myself about you know,
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: writing without I've never written anything but I that I've shared,
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: but but I want to know as much about all
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: the other what everyone else does. So I when I'm
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: in the editing room, like I've never edited, uh something
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: that I've been in. But when I'm in the editing room,
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: I don't make an ass out of myself, you know,
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: I kind of understand what that is. And when I'm
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: if I were to go to the writer's room, I
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: don't think i'd say something that people are going, oh
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: my god, this guy is an actor. So that's my
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: goal and it's and it's fun to learn stuff that's around,
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: you know, I think it makes you a better actor.
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: If you learn about all that stuff, I'll tell you
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: editing for me has been amazing because I I used
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: to do a lot of the same take over and
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: over again, and now I do just crazy different takes.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Oh you mean you're trying to get that one choice right,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Well I get.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: The editor of five of the same options, right, and
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: now I do a lot of difference.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: So speaking of editing, yeah, right, perfect, We think it's over.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: I don't even know I even know how you did it,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: but we really wanted to talk to you about the
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Star Wars situation.
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, how did this get blown in the out of proportion?
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: But let me let me also say a couple of things.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: One of the biggest bonding moments for us is that
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: we love the same movies too, right, So like Back
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: to the Future, Jeraccid Park, right, you know, Star Wars,
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: Like we were really into these you know, larger than
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: life ideas.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: Home were I insed to have a game on set.
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: It's kind of just kids who grew up in the
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: eighties game where I'd say to him, like the game was,
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: you say to the other person, where's he going? And
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: the other person says home? So team me up, say
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: where is he going?
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Where's he going.
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: Home? And we do that for hours, and the posites
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: would go so long and so corny whatever, But that
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: was because we grew up watching all the same females.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: Where's he going?
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: We should have gone a long time again.
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: That you changed?
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: Oh man, we had this.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Honestly, that was like that. That was the ending to the.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we also thought, like, what if at the end
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: of seventies show that vised cruiser or like the minivan
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: or whatever, just to cough up.
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: That's right.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: It was what FS was never from from.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: Somebody like Jackie or somebody goes, Where's where's fans going?
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: He's going home? Starting the show was just so bizarre. Honestly,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: that would have been an epic And I.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: Hope everyone just saw it. That's what we were doing,
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: literally hours and hours.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, were you asking a qu We were asking a
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: question or something. I'm sorry, well.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: You brought up editing and and and I was I
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: haven't seen it, but you all were explaining it to
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: me that you and maybe you can.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Explain so he do chronologically.
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: Okay, here's what happened. I produced a film. Another thing
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: I loved learning about was also it's just great. How
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: you start to realize acting acting and actors are such
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: a small part of the process, you know. I started realizing,
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: like I was, what's going on in post? Like why
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: is it taking them so long? Like you know what
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: I mean? Like we shot the movie, put it in order,
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: and when I went into post, I made such an
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: ass out of myself. I gave such terrible notes and
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: I still am so regretful about it. So I bought
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: an avid and I hired someone to tutor me how
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: to cut things myself, not to cut things. I was, Yeah,
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: I went on eBay and figured it out. And the
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: show when ended and we had the time, and I
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: wanted to learn just you know, there's that rainbow keyboard
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: that you're and the ball and I didn't know how
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: to use any of it. And I learned it all.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: And the way I learned was I first took a
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: tonement you remember film James McAvoy and I I had
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: an idea about how there's these flashbacks that happened right after,
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: and I was like, wait, you could reorder it and
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: go to the present and do it all. So it
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: was like a forty minute short film that people I've
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: showed people who hadn't watched a toement. They were like,
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: that's good. I mean it was totally different, like they
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: lived in the ending and had a happy end. Oh totally.
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: But people like that's a good like short, but why
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: is it forty minutes. It's like, I got to find
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: something that's really long. And I do love Star Wars,
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: and so I took. I wasn't so hot on the prequels,
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: so I took the new three films. They didn't have
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: the jj Abrams ones out yet, so it's just these
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: ones with Natalie Portman, and I put them back to
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: back to back and inserted all the outtakes because the
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: outtakes have all the effects done in them because it
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: would just be them on a green screen. So it's
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: like nine and a half hour long movie. And I
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: just whittled it as I'm learning to edit, whittled into
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: like a hour and a half. And there's kind of
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: within that trilogy, there's one actually a good movie. Yeah
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: that's the problem, but it was and I showed it
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: one time, but there was a blogger in the audience,
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: so it really blew up.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: You know, I never went to the space you had
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: a screen.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: Screening at the Soow House. It was like, you know,
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: one hundred people and people were going insane. I ended
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: it a more fun part. I think, like right when
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: that mask is coming on and I but people were
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: really going nuts. And then I did a couple of
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: times we did Close Encounters, which is a lot of
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: different version of that movie, and we did with the Hobbit.
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: But it was and I was doing with friends were
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: doing it too, so it was like a bunch of
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: people I know who cut And it was again I
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: don't ever want to cut, especially the future directors I
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: work with. I never want to cut anything I'm on.
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: But it was just informative to me how the process works.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: But that I mean, it's epic. By the way, that's
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: a lot of foots.
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: To go through.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: How did you It's the music and all that stuff,
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: like the cues and music.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: CU's hard.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: There's a way to we just cutting per scenes or
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: now you get you can strip the music out by
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: going onto like different channels and oh it's boring, sneaky grace.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: So it was like an exercise in editing more than
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: anything to.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'll be honest, if I took it out now,
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: it's probably not even so good. But I think it
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: was that Star Wars had no one knew there was
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: ever going to be another one, so it felt like
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: it was over and there was oh, there's like a
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: new one kind of right now, there's enough Star Wars material.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, I think you should consider directing.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: You'd be surprised, but I'll edit your film that you direct.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: That would be pretty awesome. What is that credit going
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: up there? You know, but that's your passion.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: I hear Giovanni Ribisi is a DP.
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: Apparently it's incredible.
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, were you?
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: I mean you directed before?
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: I have not, not on a major level like that.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: I got really passionate about producing, you know. I love
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: like to me is like a puzzle, you know, and
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: I love like putting the puzzle together. And I think
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: I have good instincts and so like having the instinct
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: to go that that guy should be the director, that
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: guy should be you know, like I just I go
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: off of instinct and feel, and I think I'm all
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: right at it.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: You know what I started loving when I got into
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: producing is that clearances.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Clearances, like really getting into.
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: The nitty gritty of clearing something, meaning when you're watching
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: a movie and they have like not a coke can,
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: but something fake, like a fake soda, and you're like, yeah,
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: it took me out of it, or the numbers five
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: five five, which I love getting into it, or getting
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: a song that you can't get clear. They go, but
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: the artist will never let that happen. And I love
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: really getting into it and being like, no, I had
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: a film where we wanted to clear I won't even
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: say who the artist was, but some popular song from
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: the most it's called Opening Night, and we're trying to
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: clear it. They couldn't do it, they said. They finally
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: called the musician's agent, and the agent said, yeah, if
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: Tovah Grace feels so passionate about it, if he walks
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: into my cubicle and hands me the check for fifty
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: thousand dollars, and then I'll make sure it clears. Because
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: it was the song was gonna cost fifty grand or something,
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: but we had the money. We just didn't the artist
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: wouldn't clear it. So I just I mean, it's nothing
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: to hop in your car and just drive down to
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: this guy's office. But the guy was like, oh my god,
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: I'm so sorry. I didn't really think you'd show it
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: and I was like, here, man, do we get the
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: songs good?
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: And then you get this song that no one can
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: ever get, you know. He had to call this artist
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: and be like, sorry, I promised someone you could use
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: it in your film. But I love I love all
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: the little things about it. That's what I love so
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: much about doing producing on home economics. But you can
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: move so many thing things. Fame is such a stupid currency.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: But when you use it like that and you start
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: to feel like, oh, you know, it's good.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, everybody wins, right, Like that's the other things,
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: like you you you know, you can make these phone calls,
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: you create exciting packages, the clear and stuff. I mean,
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: I've always been I have a passion for getting titles
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: that people think I should never have. Like I went
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: to I approached cop Con in Japan and I control
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: street Fighter for like two years and nobody knows that,
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: and everybody's like, you know, like I titched it to everyone.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: As like a like a.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: Ground and gritty, like you know, underground fight club type
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: of situation that eventually the pond gives getting deeper the later.
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: I'm into that right now, No one was into that, well,
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: they're like, oh, you.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: Know comic books and video games, like did you know
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: that really doesn't work? Like nobody's waing. Like I was like,
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: oh my gosh, yeah. I was like so I had
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: the same thing with Archie Comics. I control Archie Comics
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: for like like a whole year. I sold it to
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: twentieth Century Fox. It's like, you know, like, oh, it's
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: like a hipster single camera show. It takes place in
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: silver leg and it's a comedy. But you know, they're
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: all still wearing vintage clothes because hipsters, and.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: You know, they were like a good idea. It was
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: really cool and uh and.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: Then the rights holder was like I want to write
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: it and I also want to direct it.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: And there where.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: But the street Fower one was a major win for me.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: Just getting Street Fighter was crazy. It was like I
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: control street Fighter or the It was insane, you know wow.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: And there was Zoro too, But Zora was like I
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: fell in love with John Girtz, who you know holds
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: the rise and the copy rights and all that stuff,
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: and it's a huge deal.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's crazy. It's crazy. People like you
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: did what.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: But that's the point, right, Like the point is you
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: make these phone calls. You'll never know if he's a
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: yay or an A unless you make the phone call.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: Like your agents can tell you that it's gonna be
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: a heavy lift and be like, Okay, I guess, I
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: guess that's where it ends. But then you decide, Okay,
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: let me see what happens when I call, you know,
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: and and that's half of this town.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: That's how she gets done. You got that right? How
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: do you feel like knowing him?
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: Since he was a wee lad and now he's like
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: some big mogul company owner, show producer, movie producer. I mean,
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: you know, multifaceted, A great place for you to tell
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: the hair story.
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: Story, you know, Yeah, okay, I will tell this. So
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: but I would say, I don't think I'm actually that surprise.
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: I don't think you and I are that different than
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: we were twenty years ago. So I don't think I'm
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: very surprised about any of it. But I mean that
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: as a compliment. But when we first met, so what
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: should we end on this? Our first meeting was Wilmer
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: was new to America, new to English.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: And new to like American humor. Yeah, I have my
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: own like.
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: By the way, I should say that is something that
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: I loved about you. Was like, this humor is different,
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: like it's from it's coming from a different place. The
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: first time I realized Wilma was funny was he did
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: an impression of a chipmunk. And I don't mean like
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: the chipmunks in the show, like a chipmunk we saw
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: on the sidewalk and it was so funny. I was like,
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: what is this, Like everyone does impressions of people, Like
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: why is he doing an animal? This is such a
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: weird story, but it's true. I was like, Oh, that's
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: like he's coming from like Neptune. Like I don't even
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: think it's normal. His sense of humor in Venezuela. I
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: just think it's like Wilmer's sense of humor so specific
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: to him. Yeah, when we first started the show, I
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: mean I'm talking like day one of us showing up,
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: we went to the wardrobe at Third Rock because we
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: didn't have our own wardrobe area yet.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we didn't have our own production offices yet.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: And Bonnie was sitting with us all in a circle,
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: and she said, should we all do trust falls? Do
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: you remember that? She was joking, but I was like,
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: I think this is actually like an orientation. It's like
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: I don't know any of these kids. And everyone was
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: going around, everyone was being the fact that Ashton was
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: just chilling out, like everyone was being their quietest myself
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: and didn't want to screw it up. And then and
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: she said, why don't we go around in a circle
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: and say who we are and where we're from and everyone,
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: you know, I was like, I'm still over. I'm from Connecticut,
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: recently got out of boarding school. You know. Ashton was
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: in college or had been in college and was in
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: New York and came to Wilmer and he said, my
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: name is Wilma, and my hair talks to me. My
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: hair talks. Everyone was like, I mean, even if we
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: wanted to be nice, it was like what what? And
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: then he didn't know English well enough to recover whatever
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: it was he was trying to say, which I which,
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: like I think like literally ten years later, I was like, dude,
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: what was that joke supposed to be we.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Were talking about?
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: There was like conversation of like I have so much
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: hair and it's like so think of it, like it's
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: hard to do anything, like my hair has his own personality.
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: Oh uh, huh yeah, okay, so still not a great joke.
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: Is the point of that?
