• 0:41
  Speaker 1: on Artists. This week, we've gathered together a very special
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: group of people who have one thing in common. These
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: actors are all working on projects that don't make any
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: sense at all.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Listen in.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: I don't really understand why we're all here, but I
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: am excited to talk about the work.
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: Well. I think it's because we all have such good projects.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Right, I was told it was like hush hush, high concept,
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: hush hush.
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: I'm really excited to explain. I'm really excited to get
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: into it. I think there's some amazing projects on this
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: table and I cannot wait to discuss what we've been
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: working on.
• 1:24
  Speaker 6: Well, go around and introduce ourselves. What's up, guys. I'm
• 1:29
  Speaker 6: Thomas Dank. I am an actor. You can some of
• 1:33
  Speaker 6: my credits. I do a lot of guest star work.
• 1:35
  Speaker 6: I've done some series regular work. I do a little
• 1:37
  Speaker 6: bit of movie work. You can look up my IMDb
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: pro and see you know what I've been up to.
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: And I've got a project. I'm so excited to tell
• 1:46
  Speaker 6: you guys. My project is called Every Fish in the Sea.
• 1:50
  Speaker 6: It's based on a poem by Noel Gad, an old
• 1:54
  Speaker 6: college friend of mine, and it's completely shot in v R,
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: but it's also animate. So my friend Nol Gad approached
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: me with this amazing project. He had this poem that
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: he was working on and I just fell in love
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: with the poem.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: I fell in love with the rit word. And that's
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: when you know.
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: You have something, When you know you have something. And
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: Noel Gad works with this company. He's a tech guy,
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: so he actually works with this company that loves VR
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: and loves animation. So we're doing an animated VR project.
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: Based on Noel Gad's poem. So, yeah, I'm excited to
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: jump into it and talk all about it with you guys.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: I'm so excited.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's wonderful. What so okay, so are we in
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the poem? Is the idea that we're in the poem?
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: So the so the ideas that you're in the poem.
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: So you're gonna be basically flying through the words of
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: the poem, but also be telling a story because the
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: poem is like the it's it's called Every Fish in
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: the Sea because it's kind of following a fish, but
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: it's not finding Nemo. It's not finding me of finding Nemo.
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: So I just want to make that sure because we've
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: been pitching it around and people always think it's finding
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: Nemo and it's not finding Nemo.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Yes, who are you playing?
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: So I play the main fish. His name is Marvin.
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: He's a funny little fish who lives in the sea.
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: And the poem is kind of about how every fish
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: in the sea is looking for that other fish in
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: the sea.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Is it Memo's dad names.
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: Not finding Nemo though, it's not finding Nemo, And that's
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: you guys need to understand. It's more of an esoteric
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: explanation of what a fish's life would be like. It's
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: really like once you read the script, like and once
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: you read the poem, if I could give you guys
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: the poem, you guys would understand it in a heartbeat.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: You guys, are we in the pole?
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Are we seeing? Is what we're seeing in the VR?
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Do we see text or do we see ocean?
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: Both?
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: Yes, You're basically every wave is going to be a
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: little line of text. And it's really interesting what you
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: can do with VR. You can fly through things. I'm
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: not exactly sure how VR is going to work. I mean,
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: we're doing storyboards and story words and storyboards and really
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: working out and Noel luckily is letting me jump in
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: and have a lot of creative say with the script.
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: So I'm adding, you know, monologue after monologue after monologue,
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: trying to, you know, really get.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: To the heart of this fish.
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: So I will be in it as myself but also
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: as the fish. You guys will have to see it
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: when it comes out. I promise you. It really makes
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: sense on paper.
• 4:22
  Speaker 7: I understand.
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: And I just want to say that the name of
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: the character from Finding Nemo is not Marvin.
• 4:28
  Speaker 7: It's Marlin. I got little babies.
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: So I watched that movie on repeat all the time,
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: and it does sound different to me.
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: Thank you, yeah, thanks, thanks. We would love actually maybe
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: to attach you. We'll talk after we'll talk.
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: I would love to have a conversation afterwards.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Thought.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: What's name?
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: What's your name? My name is doctor Chloe Haversberg. And
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: it's nice to meet all of you. I'm having a
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: wonderful time talking to you. I love artists, I love creatives,
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: and I love discussing stuff like this. I am a
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: movie trivia, not really facts about movies. It's it's trivia.
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: If it's trivial. Sorry, I'm a doctor. Like to god,
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: do you understand what kind of doctor are you? I
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: am a doctor of physics and engineering. Oh thanks doctor, yes, yeah.
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: So actually I recently became a PhD candidate and I
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: just got my PhD. And it is really funny to congratula.
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: Thank you, thank you, thank you so much, thank you
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: very much. Thanks everyone. So I got my candidacy and
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: I became a PhD at Brown University. And it's really
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: funny because my project is, uh, you know, my PhD.
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: My dissertation was on the flow of traffic and how
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: that pertains to the physical movement of a car in
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: traffic and the transit properties of traffic as a mass.
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: And that I was found by Aaron Paul and he
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: wants to turn it into a musical featuring what of
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: Rush the band Rush, And so my dissertation is being
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: turned into a musical and it has been a blast.
• 6:10
  Speaker 7: I love being an artist.
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: I'm having a lot of fun and I'm really experiencing
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: all sorts of new things and it's really a really
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: good time. I'm thinking I maybe missed my calling. What
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: I'm happy I guess the call came.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Wait okay, okay, okay. I cannot wait to dig in.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I cannot wait to dig in. So you're so the
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: musical is about uh sort of cars on the road
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: or is it about the physical text and the words
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: of your dissertation.
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: It's about the science of traffic, So it's about what moves,
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: It's about the motions and the molecules. You know, with physics,
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: you're going as fast as whatever you're in, right, So
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: if the traffic is moving fast, oh true, Bara, going
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: fast exactly.
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: That's kind of a rule for physics.
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: So that's what we've been experiencing and that's what we've
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: been playing with.
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: The music of Russia has been really fun in an area.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: I love Rush, I love Rush.
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: So, Tom Sawyer, what do you open the movie with,
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: Tom Sawyer. It's not a movie, Tom Sawyer.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: It's not a movie.
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: Sorry, it's an interactive experience. It's a it's a happening. Okay, yeah, yeah,
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: so it's it's a.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Creative it occurs.
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: We have a contract with certain municipalities where for every
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: few months and certain areas of the country, we're just
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: gonna be able to allow it to happen.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: So, so, just to get it straight, it's more of
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: an idea of somebody will be driving through a municipality,
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: Tom Sawyer will come on and they will feel the
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: understanding of traffic.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: Is that kind of the idea.
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: Yes, But it's not random in that sense.
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: It's gonna be scheduled because we did have to get
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: the zoning permits, and so you can plan to be
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: in traffic at a certain time and if you are,
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: you get to experience the show.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: This makes sense to me.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: This a sort of in Los Angeles and other locations
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: there was a Stranger Things experience where oh yeah, would
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: you say it's similar to that? Will there be actors?
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: I love the Stranger Things Experience and brought my little
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: babies to that. We had a lot of fun in that.
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: They really love Stranger Things.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Are they can't it's or dogs or my little babies.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: They're kiddies okay, okay, kids.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Are kitties?
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: Their cats or children? We just we can't have.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Dogs are out. We've been eliminated dogs. So now we
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: just need to know if it's cats or kids.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Or it could be also other types of animals. Is
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: it children?
• 8:41
  Speaker 7: Their names are mindy?
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: Does it hell? Okay?
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Does it help?
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't. I don't baby?
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: Okay, Yeah, what if I told you some of them
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: are kiddies and some of them are kiddies.
• 9:00
  Speaker 7: Regardless.
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: Regardless, I took them to the Stranger Things Experience. I
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: got kicked out for one reason or another, but when
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: I was there, I said, I don't want to make
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: anything like this, so it's gonna be nothing like that.
• 9:13
  Speaker 7: So do you think you.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: Got kicked out because they're gots or because he's a free.
• 9:21
  Speaker 7: My name is doctor Chloe Haversberg.
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: I actually am indeed, I identify as she her so
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: if we could please focus on that.
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: I'm very staunchly a woman.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: So sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: Okay, it is I'm a staunch woman, and I'm proud
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: of it. I'm sorry, proud of it. If there, if
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: there was a female equivalent of Stonewall, I would have
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: been there.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: Are you?
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Stonewall was for boys? What do you mean by that?
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: Like if there was a Stonewall for straight women, I
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: would have been there.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Okay, So like Seneca Falls.
• 9:57
  Speaker 7: Yes, you would have been there.
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm basically Katie Elizabeth Stanton in every way. That's
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: my project.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, okay, okay, Well I'd love to tell you
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: about my project. I am Violet Bones, and I am
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: working on it is most of all, above all else,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: on occurrence and an experience, just like Chloe Haversburg's doctor,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Chloe Haversburg's darling.
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: Darling, do you have a project?
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Okay, yes, yes, of course, yes, of course, And we've
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: been working on it for a very long time. This
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: has been sort of a passion project, well, and a
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: pageant project. It is a live pageant that takes place
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: inside of a Nintendo DS in your mind. So this
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: me and Matt Damon have been working really, really, really
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: really hard on this. It's sort of a cross between
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Ninten Dogs. It's Ninten Dogs meets animal crossing meets abby Lee,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Abby Lee, abby Lee Poins and Tiaras Oh sister Show.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Abbie Lee abby Lee's energy feeling very present in the
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: sister show that is Toddler's and Tiaras. So audience members
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: will take out their Nintendo ds, they will choose their
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: sort of dog. They'll choose their nintend dog, and then
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: that dog will enact the entirety of a beauty pageant
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: that takes place in your mind.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: And we're very mad. Dams attached to this.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Damon is attached not publicly, but behind the scenes. He's
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: agreed to a lot, but he won't say. That's why
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: we can't put it on deadline. But we're very, very excited.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: It's going to take place in Missouri, uh mentally of
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: course physically, it takes place in Burbank, and it'll take
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: place in the parking lot of Bob's Big Boy And so.
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: Darling, Darling, Darling, how do I see it? Do I
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: buy a ticket? What do I wait for the municipality
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: to come in accordinance with it.
• 12:04
  Speaker 7: What how do I see it?
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Good question. So we don't have to deal with any
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: of the zoning laws that you might be encountering.
• 12:11
  Speaker 7: Because, bless you, thank god, we're.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Doing this illegally.
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: Uh oh, the government.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Told us that we cannot that we cannot because it
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: overlaps with some uh uh, what is that thing? What
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: is that thing? That that that that they were working on,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: all the nuclear stuff, the nuclear codes. It was a
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: project and the acid and the LSD, the the project,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: the project, what is it called? The listener will know,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: they'll know what I'm saying. They'll know.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: The electric Coolick eight, the electric kool Aid acid test.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: No, No, I'm referring to when the government was experimenting
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: with LSD in the sixties.
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: Is this the men who stare at goats?
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Maybe maybe it's entirely possible that it's that. Oh, it
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: has such a catchy name, and you'll scream when you
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: remember what it is. But we've stolen some scientist kids
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: from that.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: Oh is it mk ultra are you talking about? Yes,
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: mk Ultra.
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: I gotta say so many projects are kind of ethereally
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: based on mk ultra. Truly, so many wonderful projects.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: So many men.
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: Who Sarah Goesn't is based on that absolutely absolutely, and
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: that's that's I. I actually had a different pitch for
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: that movie, but we'll talk about it later.
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: I love to hear it. I love that movie. My
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: babies love that movie too.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, so kids, no, please.
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: Continue, darling, I want to hear more of your project.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Well, anyway, basically, you can buy a ticket to it
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: by going to a link in my TikTok shop. And
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: the TikTok shop is for pottery, so you have to
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: navigate to a pot that speaks to you and once
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: you have that code, enter in the code MK Ultra
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: forty five. That's when you will encounter a secret. The
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: secret turns into a wish, which turns into a promo
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: code which you can use on Society six. Now Society six,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: you have to navigate and find the.
• 14:22
  Speaker 8: Website new wepisite for iPhone cases in Lato.
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: This is great. I do love when a secret turns
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: into a wish.
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: You have a secret and evolves kind of into a
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: wish physically, you.
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: Know, in physics, I really I really need to know
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: for myself. I'm a physics nerd. Literally doctor of physics,
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: nerd over here, what are the transitive properties you're using
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: to turn a secret into a wish?
• 14:44
  Speaker 7: Break it down?
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Great question. They're all solids, liquids and gases.
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: So I thought I was going to say. That's what
• 14:51
  Speaker 7: I was gonna say.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: So, no matter what form your wish takes, be it
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: a solid, a liquid, or a gas, as long as
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: you transfer from one to the other, for example via boiling,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: via freezing, uh, and the like, and the then the
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: like and whatever the word is you might know this,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: of course, doctor Chloe Haversbrough. Of course, the process of
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: turning a gas into a solid rapidly. Uh, there's a
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: word for that.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: And of course it's a great word too. Tell me
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: after I will.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: But so your wish. If if your wish comes to
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: you in the form of a solid, you must turn
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: it into a gas. If it comes to you in
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: a liquid, you must turn it into a solid, sort
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: of like rock paper scissors.

  Speaker 9: Hi, guys, I usual me.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: I'm Lily Dooboo.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: I'm Lily Doo Boo, and I'm a musical theater artist, writer, composer, actor, actress.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: However way you want to do it, flip it, put
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: it up, put it up and down.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm working on a musical that I love so
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: much that has been really really really really good. It's
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: called we're working on the title.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: Actually it's called untitled Mirror Project Broadway here we come.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: And what it is is, we're putting a mirror.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: To the audience.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: Okay, so we're putting a mirror to the audience and
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: we are actually doing a musical.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Of the audience.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: And say, okay, I love this yes? Or are the
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: the audience members the actors or is it just your
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: backsides doing a musical.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: We're figuring it out.
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: So it sounds like you have a mirror.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: It sounds like all you have is a big mirror. Yeah,
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: that's we're.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Figuring it out.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: So do you physically have the big mirror in your possession?
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Figuring it out? So we do have it.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: Ensemble, the ensemble stressed. We don't know what we're practicing.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: We're figuring it out. We've written music, we've tried to
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: improvise music. We've broughten in audiences. We've tried to just
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: wing it, and then we've tried to write music and
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: it's hard to anticipate what will happen, and that's where
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: theater begins.
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: How many audiences have you had come in to see
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: the production?
• 18:45
  Speaker 9: So we've been in previews for six months and we
• 18:49
  Speaker 9: can't be consistent.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: No mirror yet, though I would love to see what
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: the mirror looks like. It would help me visualize the
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: entire thing. Are we doing a big mirror or mirror?
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: Miss Violet looks.
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: Miss Violet is literally salivating at the idea of this mirror.
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: I can tell I'm.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Drooling because I love a good mirror, and I've never
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: heard of a place where i can find one myself,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: so I'm always envious of someone who can find a mirror.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: You're looking for a mirror now, Yes.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, I'm looking for a mirror so that when my
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: hairdresser shows me the back of my head, I have
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: to I can use my own mirror, and I don't
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: know if you use her dirty one.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Okay, I love that.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: Well, you could get a mirror, I think at a
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: target or anywhere you'd like.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: To get one.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: But but what we have is a mirror on the stage,
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: and it's and then a circle is carved out for
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: our cast, and our cast then is mirroring the audience.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: And they're in sonut shaped mirror.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Ah No, the opposite.
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: Sounds like the whole is the doughnut?
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: What the opposite of a donut?
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: Technically it's actually a donut, but the donut is not
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: circular on the outside, it's rectangular like a mirror. And
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: on the inside is the same type of hole. Oh yes,
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: I and a physics nerd.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: Maybe it's it's nothing like a donut.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: I say you, you took a donut, you put it down,
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: you put a mirror on top of the donuts, you
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: cut out the hole.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: You took that hole of the mirror.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: You threw that mirror all the way across the room.
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: I'm with your deer, I'm with you.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Is this physics enough for you? Doctor?
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: I literally feel like I am in the class right now.
• 20:38
  Speaker 7: I'm happy to hear it. I'm comfortable.
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: I gotta say, you girls are wild. I mean, you
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: girls are wild.
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: You get this much feminine energy in a room and
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: guess what happens?
• 20:53
  Speaker 9: I yeah, chucked aside to the mirror that looked like
• 20:57
  Speaker 9: a donut in the middle, and Yah picked it up,
• 21:04
  Speaker 9: and you blew it to Broadway, New York, and you
• 21:07
  Speaker 9: put it on the stage.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: And then we put the seats where that hole is.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: So then when you come you see our ensemble sitting
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: in the seats, so it looks like there's the same
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: people as you.
• 21:21
  Speaker 7: And that's what happens the show Wiggins.
• 21:25
  Speaker 6: I gotta say, I was following every other project, and
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: this one has me perplexed.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: I cannot figure out now.
• 21:32
  Speaker 10: I cannot picture where what the mirror looks like and
• 21:35
  Speaker 10: where it is. Of all the projects we've talked about,
• 21:40
  Speaker 10: this musical has got me baffled rain emly what the
• 21:45
  Speaker 10: mirror looks like and where it is?
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: Like, I'm fine.
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: What I'm concerned about is that it makes sense to me,
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: which means I must be wrong.
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: If you put a mirror on a wall, Yes, what's
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: the shut what's the shape of the mirror.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: A wall?
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: The shape of the mirror is a wall, and you
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: put it on the wall.
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: Yes, Okay, I'm following, Okay, there are many different types
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: of wall.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: It feels like rectangle to me.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: We're in tangle. Spear, big rectangle.
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: Okay, what is happening to your personality?
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to find my voice, doctor Chloe.
• 22:36
  Speaker 7: I've been there.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Donut, I don't know. Also, who said to me donut?
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: But one of you did.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: I said donut because I believed that you said there
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: was a hole cut out in the mirror where the
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: guests would be. That indicates to me a bit of
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: negative space in the center, much like a donut. Am
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: I'm wrong?
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Yes, But donut indicate small? I mean big? Did I
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: lose you, mister dank Oh, sir.
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: You just met a big hole. You got computered, so
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: you thought donut shape is small?
• 23:08
  Speaker 7: You just you thought we were.
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: We were discussing the actual dimensions of a human size
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: donut and not the shape dot.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: That's a show, A.
• 23:19
  Speaker 7: Show I wouldn't know. I only do.
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: I'm about to freak the funk out. Is it just
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: a circle? It's just a circle, missing.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: Circle?
• 23:31
  Speaker 7: Okay, okay.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: And that's that's.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Where the cast is.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, got it?
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: Cast doing sitting in the chairs just like the audiences.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: So when the audience walks in the proscenium, looks just
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: like them.
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: Got it?
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: God nerd here physics nerd here, sorry about wouldn't the
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: if there was just a hole in the in the
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: wall and it was right in the middle, would that
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: not be smaller than the audience? And so would they
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: not be in a specific area that is a little
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: bit different in size. So they're seeing themselves and they're
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: also seeing people dressed as them. Are they dressed as them?
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: We haven't gotten to that.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: You eat too.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: So it's such a relief because I now I believe
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: I fully understand what this.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: So when the audience so now we're trying we've hired
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: little kids to do box office, so they take so
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: long to check them in that our wardrobe department is
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: trying to mimic the clothes.
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: Oh, it's a tactic, hiring children as a tactic, as
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: a distraction.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Yes, doctor Kloe, do you know anything about children?
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: I do.
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: I know a couple things about children, very very intimately,
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: because you have them. Well, let's just say I've I've
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: been an important part of many children's lives. I have
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: worked with children as a mother. Oh, yes, I have
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: little bit babies. I have all sorts of kinds of babies.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: I fear we won't get far.
• 25:07
  Speaker 7: I will tell you.
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: What I feel comfortable telling you, and for the security
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: of who I am, I keep things vague.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: Anyway, why don't we all go around and explain how
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: we got started as artists. It sounds like we all
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: come from different backgrounds.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes we do, Yes we do. I could say
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: right now, I got started as an artist by becoming
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Mark Ruffalo's girlfriend, and I was sort of occupying that
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: role for a while. We would go to premieres together,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: we would write together, we would eat together, we would
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: go to restaurants, we would go bowling, and so that
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: was the genesis of my becoming exactly what I am now,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: which is an actor and an actress and an artist.
• 26:00
  Speaker 7: Can I just say, Violet, there's something that I want
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: to tear commend you on, and it's that many, many
• 26:06
  Speaker 7: people who are celebrities girlfriends have a hard time transitioning
• 26:09
  Speaker 7: into being actual artists. And I want to say congratulations
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: because I know that route is one of the most difficult.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, And that's because that's you know, that is an
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: art forum in and of itself. To be a girlfriend,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: to be a famous girlfriend is difficult and not everyone
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: can do it. But I went through the training. I
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: went through the proper training.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: I went, what does that look like?
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: So there is a famous PR agent, maybe you've heard
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: of her, Denise Jacobs. She owns this PR She's Jacob
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: and Myers PR, and.
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: She similar to the lawyers, right, Jacoby and Meyers is
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: the law office that advertises Yes, Los Angeles.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: So that's their brothers. But the girls of those families
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: started a PR firm together.
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: That's so fun.
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: So they're brothers with different last names, got it.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Yes, but similar similar dad's, same moms. They host a
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: class for people who want to become celebrity spouses. So
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: I enrolled in their class and they taught me everything
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: there is to know, such as, you know, transporting your
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: appearances on TMZ into how about it's you on TMZ?
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: And how about you?
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: How about it's you they say, that's you? How about
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: it's you later? How about it's you in the future.
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: I've read I've read Denise Jacobs's book how About It's You.
• 27:47
  Speaker 7: It really got me interested in my own life.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, and it's very interesting to people who are existing.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Then I went into a cave for a law time
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: and I came out with this idea for this project.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Like one does Wow.
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: So did you pitch it to Matt Damon or did
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: he approach you? It sounds like you kind of came
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: up with it and pitched it to Matt Dane. How
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: did you get Matt Damon.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Connected approached me with an idea, which is he approached
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: me with an idea, that is, I need somewhere to
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: hide some money for a while, and I said, I
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: have just the thing.
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: Sounds like each of you found private investors.
• 28:31
  Speaker 7: I haven't, Sir, Dank, tell us, tell us to journey.
• 28:35
  Speaker 7: I'm very curious about yours. Yes, how do you get
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: I'm not a sir? Thank you.
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: I don't know where you guys came up with that.
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: I never said it.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: Are you not a sir?
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: You're sure you're not a sir?
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: No, I'm where are you all from? This is insane?
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: I have never met people.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: Professor is a professor?
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: Dank, No, I'm not a professor.
• 28:56
  Speaker 7: I'm a professor. I'm a doctor.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, So I'm a reiki healer.
• 29:04
  Speaker 7: Oh wow, grats.
• 29:06
  Speaker 8: And I'm finding my voice.
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: So I just want to say, you guys all somehow
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: sound alike. I don't know where you guys all came from.
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: I've never met other actors or artists like you. It's
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: kind of crazy to sit down like this, just to
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: sit down with people like this. And I don't want
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: to say all women are alike. I don't want to
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: be hidden here at the one man saying all women
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: are alike.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: I say that women do have a sort of high mind,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: so to speak, or at least women who are of
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: similar similar cadence.
• 29:45
  Speaker 7: Absolutely, And I would say sometimes.
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: You know, we sink sometimes personalities, and it tends to
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: happen because we have such a strong connection.
• 29:55
  Speaker 7: That's one of my theories.
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: I am a doctor of a physics nerd, and I've
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: seen that happen in actually buildings and cars and trees.
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: Transitive properties of motion.
• 30:09
  Speaker 7: When something is speedy and fast, it'll collect the molecules
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: of another thing.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: How some female buildings do this.
• 30:17
  Speaker 7: Female buildings don't exist to be female and male.
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: You must Yes, Yes, buildings are different in regards to
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: human beings. There is no such thing as gender identity
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: for buildings.
• 30:31
  Speaker 7: We like to.
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: Ascribe them frequently because of the way they feel LIVEE
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: s oh, this building reminds me of a boy.
• 30:38
  Speaker 7: This building reminds me of a girl.
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: But in reality, they don't have feelings like that, and
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: they don't categorize themselves.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: My follow up question, do bugs have gender?
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: Okay, what the fuck is going on? How do you
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: guys not know this?
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: Buildings have never been a signed gender ever, This is
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: not new information mistake.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: We're just I.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Thought we were having a wonderful discussion convenie his artists,
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: figuring out what we're all up to, exchanging ideas.
• 31:09
  Speaker 7: Yes, I really did expect that.
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: I really and I'm passionate about my idea. I am
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: very passionate about my idea. And now I feel like
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: this is some sort of weird sham. I feel like,
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: what is it?
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: Thomas say? What your idea is? Exactly succinctly sentence.
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: It's so easy to understand. It's called All the Fish
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: in the Sea.
• 31:30
  Speaker 6: It's about a fish in VR that's animated where you
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: can feel it and you understand what it's like to
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: be a fish in the sea. You know it makes sense.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: It read us some of the poem.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: Please please tell.
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: You, guys don't want to hear it.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: The poem?
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: Where did you guys get Okay, of all the fish
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: in the sea, there's only one for me. Of all
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: the fish in the sea, of all the fish in
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: the sea, of all the fish in the sea. How
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: I'm filled with glee for in the sea there's only
• 32:15
  Speaker 6: you and me of all the fish in the sea.
• 32:20
  Speaker 7: So is this poet from like some of the first
• 32:23
  Speaker 7: poems ever?
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: When did this poem star from my friend? Noah?
• 32:28
  Speaker 7: Oh, your friend? Do you know him personally?
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Heah, it's see now.
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: So he's in tech.
• 32:37
  Speaker 6: He just is a tech guy and I and I
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: really loved his poem, so I just wanted to make something.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: So does he know that you're taking the poem?
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's part of it.
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: We're trying to work on it together to try to
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: really get this project out.
• 32:51
  Speaker 7: Who let me ask you this.
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: Did the poem start out of we need a poem
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: to put into this VR project?
• 32:58
  Speaker 7: Or was the poem just the poem?
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: We were drinking one night and having a little marijuana
• 33:05
  Speaker 6: and he was like, this is going to be very vulnerable.
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: Yes, marijuana, it's a normal thing.
• 33:11
  Speaker 6: And he read the poem to me and I really
• 33:14
  Speaker 6: liked it, and I said we should do something with it.
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: And then we just started pitching really hard and came
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: up with this really fun cool idea and it's like
• 33:20
  Speaker 6: a visual thing I can see.
• 33:22
  Speaker 7: Wait, I get it, so dank.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: I feel I overstepped. I feel like we upset you.
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: No, I feel like I've overstepped you, guys, Not at.
• 33:32
  Speaker 7: All, Not at all. I want to commend your friend
• 33:35
  Speaker 7: for making a beautiful poem. And I think it's amazing.
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 33:39
  Speaker 7: As a physics nerd, I know a thing.
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: God.
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: One of the things that's important and transitive properties is
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: you cannot.
• 33:47
  Speaker 7: Walk, h you cannot run unless you walk correct. That's
• 33:54
  Speaker 7: actually a physics thing.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Just really quickly, can we talk about what a transitive
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: proper is, because I believe it to be. If A
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: equals B and B equals C, then A equals c.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: Is is it something else other than that?
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: Coause transit what you're talking about.
• 34:14
  Speaker 7: I know a lot of what I'm talking about. I
• 34:16
  Speaker 7: know a lot of it.
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: What I must say is that a transitive property can
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: be whatever you think it is. A transitive property is
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: something I must finish. I must finish. A transitent property
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: is something that goes from one thing to another thing.
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: What is that?
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: What is the transitive property between patter and a cake?
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: It is the heat, It is the chemical solution that combines.
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: It is the eggs and the sugar and the flour
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: melding to create something that is delicious for you and
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: your kiddies. It is always something that takes you from
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: one place to another that is a transit of property.
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: And I also believe that is art. I believe art
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: is a transitive property. And I think it's important to
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: discuss that.
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: I really like that. Actually, thank you like that. That
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: actually really clicked for me.
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: That got you today, my trail mix, and now I'm
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: out of here.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Oh it's gravity. She's a physics nerd. That's why this
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: happened to her.
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: Let me show you a little example of what happened
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: over here. Okay, So imagine is the bag of trail mix.
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: Imagine my hand is the bag, and all of that
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: transitive properties of space pushed the bag down, and that's gravity.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: I know that that is gravity. You're speaking about gravity
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: right now, and I love it. It's exhilarating.
• 35:39
  Speaker 7: It's transspatial, transitive properties. Gravity is what brought the nuts
• 35:45
  Speaker 7: from the table to the ground.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: And that's exactly what we did with the donut.
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: Okay, let's go back to the donut because I'm curious
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: about this because.
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: I remember specifically you rejecting the idea of the donut
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: because it's too small.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: It's a screen.
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: It's a screen. Now, it's a screen.
• 36:06
  Speaker 7: It's a screen. Now, let me ask you something, Lily, Lily,
• 36:10
  Speaker 7: do let me ask you something.
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: Are you changing the details because you have been told
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: that the details are changing?
• 36:17
  Speaker 7: Because I know this workshop has continually changed.
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: Are you getting live texts? Is that kind of what's happening?
• 36:22
  Speaker 8: Yes, and everything changes, and that what I learned here
• 36:28
  Speaker 8: is a transitive property that's correct.
• 36:32
  Speaker 7: And my class has finished.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, we were going to class. Yes, your
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: performance this whole time.
• 36:41
  Speaker 7: Oh my god. No, No, I just like to think.
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: Sometimes I get into teach your mode and sometimes I
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: fall out of it. And I have fallen out of it.
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: So now I'm just here to hang. What are we
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: talking about?
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: We were talking about this earlier. We were talking about
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: everyone's past. I my past was a girlfriend. Uh, what
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: about you, Lily Deboo.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: I graduated at n YU Tish Stella Adler and I
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: auditioned for six months and didn't get anything.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: Oh and it was really hard.
• 37:11
  Speaker 6: And so that's your acting background, that's your acting background,
• 37:16
  Speaker 6: six years of auditioning after NYU Tish Film School, Theater.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: School, still an adler. Mm hmm yeah, and it was hard.
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: And then I started figuring out what I can do,
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: and I dipped into the trust fund. And now here
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: we are working on Mirror, the musical untitled Broadway.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: Here we come.
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: You said, trust fund? What type of trust fund is this?
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: Do you have? Do you have big parents?
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're huge.
• 37:41
  Speaker 7: How big are your parents?
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: They're each six foot?
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: No?
• 37:45
  Speaker 6: No, in wealth style, I guess I'm not looking for size.
• 37:49
  Speaker 6: It feels like you're so attached to size and shape.
• 37:52
  Speaker 6: I'm just looking for your wealth status.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, yeah.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: My mother is a part of the you know, the
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: the family the uh, the company that makes all the
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: hamburger buns for all of the fast food chains. It's
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: all one group. Yes, my mother comes from that family
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: fun money, bond money, bon fun money, the do the
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: Doo Boo money.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Oh, of course of dooboo family buns. Yes, that's us.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: I kept my mother's name for you know, the family
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: name reasons.
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: So yeah, I love your buns, and so do my
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: little babies. When I sometimes diet, sometimes I'm going I
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: go on the atkins, and I only eat meat, and
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: so I'll go to McDonald's order a cheeseburger, and I'll
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: take the buns and I'll feed them to my little babies,
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: and they love them.
• 38:49
  Speaker 7: They love them.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, I love that.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: I love that babies digest the buns.
• 38:55
  Speaker 7: Yeah, everything makes them sick. Everything simply makes them sick.
• 39:00
  Speaker 7: And that's what it is to have little babies. It's
• 39:01
  Speaker 7: constantly going to specialists.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: Oh now, how often have they been little babies?
• 39:08
  Speaker 7: How often? Well, every day of their life? How often?
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: How often is how often are you are we swimming
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: in water?
• 39:16
  Speaker 7: Existing?
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, frankly, this conversation is exhausting.
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: But I just.
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: When they digest it, when they eat the buns, when
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: they eat my family's buns, do you rip him up
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: in small pieces and throw it on the ground him.
• 39:36
  Speaker 7: Do whatever they want with it. I'm not a I'm
• 39:37
  Speaker 7: gonna he look up to parents.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: So you set up on the table or floor.
• 39:45
  Speaker 7: Well, whatever is nearby, whatever, wherever my babies.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: Can grab anyway. So that's my past.
• 39:50
  Speaker 7: Well, I'm not normally an artist. This is not my life.
• 39:53
  Speaker 7: This is my other life.
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so you were in school, right, I was in
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: school and I was working and I had a dissertation
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: that went viral in the academic world.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: What does that look like? People buy the book a
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: lot or something?
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, how what does it look like when something go viral?
• 40:11
  Speaker 7: J Store, I'm an influencer on Gmail. It's just pdf.
• 40:16
  Speaker 7: It's a PDF that people were sending to each other.
• 40:19
  Speaker 7: No on Gmail.
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: That feels like a Google doc situation. Well, I would
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: go viral on Gmail.
• 40:25
  Speaker 5: It was a PDF because I didn't want anyone to
• 40:28
  Speaker 5: change anything. The first time it went viral is because
• 40:31
  Speaker 5: I did put it in a Google Doc and people
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: started adding moments and.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: Things to it.
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, you're not an artist if you haven't
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: learned how to restrict access exactly.
• 40:42
  Speaker 5: So I had to to take it back and I
• 40:45
  Speaker 5: owned it and and and then people started spreading it around.
• 40:49
  Speaker 5: And there's lots of lots of actors and celebrities and
• 40:52
  Speaker 5: famous people who claim to be physicists and people that
• 40:57
  Speaker 5: love to talk about how much they love science on
• 41:00
  Speaker 5: podcasts and then they say, okay, well what are you reading?
• 41:03
  Speaker 7: And my.
• 41:05
  Speaker 5: Document was the lightest and it took up the least
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: amount of storage in anybody's email, and so it was
• 41:12
  Speaker 5: the easiest to keep around, and so people would constantly say, oh,
• 41:15
  Speaker 5: I'm reading this, you know, whether or not they had
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: read it, of course, and it ended up getting me
• 41:21
  Speaker 5: where I am today. So but I have a rich
• 41:24
  Speaker 5: life outside of being an artist, of course, and I'm
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: excited to lose some of those things and they get
• 41:29
  Speaker 5: farther into it.
• 41:30
  Speaker 7: But it's been fun so far.
• 41:31
  Speaker 6: Well that's I guess. I kind of thought about this
• 41:34
  Speaker 6: question when I was walking in here. You know, I
• 41:37
  Speaker 6: really wanted to know how you guys approach art. I
• 41:40
  Speaker 6: was going to know, like I wanted to know how
• 41:41
  Speaker 6: my fellow actors who have these kind of like passion
• 41:43
  Speaker 6: projects approach art in a way that feels, you know,
• 41:49
  Speaker 6: passionate and a way that feels like satisfying, because I know,
• 41:52
  Speaker 6: like some of the co star guest star stuff I'll do,
• 41:55
  Speaker 6: it just isn't satisfying.
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: It isn't me.
• 41:57
  Speaker 6: So I'm trying to make something that that is more me,
• 42:01
  Speaker 6: that makes more sense to me, that speaks to my heart.
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: You know, people.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: Around you believe in this project. Do you have a
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: support system?
• 42:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 42:11
  Speaker 6: No, yeah, yeah yeah. I talked to my girlfriend about it.
• 42:17
  Speaker 6: We ended up breaking up. I just she just didn't
• 42:20
  Speaker 6: understand it. And that's part of it is if they
• 42:22
  Speaker 6: don't understand, you've got to get rid of them, if
• 42:24
  Speaker 6: they don't understand what's speaking to your heart.
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: I try to explain it to her so.
• 42:28
  Speaker 6: Many times, so many times, and.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: She what were her questions?
• 42:33
  Speaker 6: She had questions like this is a lot like finding
• 42:36
  Speaker 6: NEMO more of a statement than a question. And another
• 42:39
  Speaker 6: thing she was like, I don't understand how you're.
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: Gonna do VR animated and be in it and be
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: a fish.
• 42:46
  Speaker 6: And she just didn't understand the like what am I
• 42:49
  Speaker 6: trying to say? What am I trying to say here?
• 42:52
  Speaker 6: What's the point?
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: Why are you investing all this money? Why are you
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: trying to raise all this money?
• 42:57
  Speaker 6: And it's kind of like stuff like that that you know,
• 42:59
  Speaker 6: it's just like if you're not going to be on
• 43:01
  Speaker 6: the boat, you got to get off.
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: The boat, right.
• 43:03
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: Oh it's so hard that.
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: I feel like maybe there is a reason why they
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: put us all here at the table together, because that
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: does feel like all of our projects. What you just
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: said there, mister Danks or Dank is exactly what I
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: hear all the time. I feel like I don't know.
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: About you guys.
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: But I'm working also in the creative leadership of my project,
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: not just as an actor, but and I'm dealing with
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: so much of like trying to be the leader of
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: an ensemble that is confused, to try and get an
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: army of creator.
• 43:40
  Speaker 6: You're saying to your ensemble to help them, like, what
• 43:43
  Speaker 6: are they doing?
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's so hard.
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: It's so hard because I imagine you guys can understand
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: when you look at your group of creators and go,
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: we are about to do something that no one has
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: done before.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: And that is what all of us here we are
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: making art.
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: That is, there are no comps, there are no people
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: have done this before. We have uh, we have Linn
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: Manuel to look to for this, or we have Greta
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: Gerwick to look to. We these we are the first
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: of our kinds and these certain types of media forms.
• 44:17
  Speaker 5: We are reluctant trail blazers. Absolutely yes, And it's scary.
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: So you look at your you look at your ensemble
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: and you say, guys, I know that there is no
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: light in the tunnel, but we must find the end
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: of that.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: We are the first ones. We will find the light.
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: But it's so hard, especially when there's no script. I
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: my unself doesn't know how to end the musical. We
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: don't know.
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: Sometimes we'll be at the end of the play and
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: people need to go home, but.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: We're just simply minpicking the audience. We don't know. We
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: have to wait for the audience to call the lights.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: It's so hard an audience member to get brave enough
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: to say, you know what, I think something's gone wrong.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: I should tell you yes, fuck out.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: And it's an awful way to end the show.
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: So sometimes we have to send someone back there to say,
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: try to call it on a good note. And then
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: we're putting the end of the show in our audience's hands.
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: And that's why it's simply hard to make art that
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: people don't do.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: You know, it is difficult. I think this strikes a
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: very familiar chord, the naysayers, the people who say, what
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: is this? I've found that that is a That's a
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: sentiment I encounter so frequently when I'm filling out forms,
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: when people ask is this a business? Is this a show?
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: What is it?
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: You have to check a box when you're applying for funding,
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: when you have to apply for a GoFundMe, when you
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: apply for any of these things. You have to check
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: a certain box that says what kind of thing it is,
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: be it a TV show, web series, theater experience, and
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: it's so hard to just pick one. I think that
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: forms and online forms and tax statements are the biggest
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: naysayers of all.
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: What do you end up putting?
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: I end up crossing the whole thing out and putting
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: show business.
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: Because that feels yeah, that does come.
• 46:20
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that feels right, that feels very right.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what we're all doing.
• 46:26
