After a few years, they can come back refreshed with one of those little Jamaican hair braids, maybe a weird French accent whenever they say cross you know, Collin elevators lift saw that bullshit?

I have to say like, because I've I've been doing a lot of promotion for the movie, and I have to just like, I can't contain my excitement. I It took us five years to get the movie adapted, financed, cast into production. We were about to go and start shooting, and then the sag strike happened. We finally made the movie, and I love this movie so much, and I just can't believe that I'm here.

Oh well, you deserve it, and all of the work paid off. It really shows this is a story about young love. It's a beautiful romantic drama with comedic moments. Was there anything that you discovered in all of your years acting in those types of films that you thought, I really want to do this differently.

Was there anything that you discovered in all of your years acting in those types of films that you thought, I really want to do this differently.

I mean, I definitely my radar for like keeping a movie like this from being saccharine or corny, Like my radar was up for that. I tried to keep it as grounded and real as possible. But the thing that struck me even initially about the book is that the main characters are very young, but their love story is so much more mature and touches on things that are a lot deeper. You know, most movies that are about young romance are mostly focused on like love at first sight or the initial stages of a relationship, you know, having a crush on someone. And this one, they play this game with each other where the girl will tell him the story of their lifelong love affair together as though they're an older couple looking back on a lifetime of memories together. So it brings up a lot of you know, more universal, kind of deeper issues like mortality and how we should be so lucky to create a lifetime of menas with someone and connect with them and have a life together.

It does, and the lead character has this magical moment with this young man. It's sort of like a whirlwind romance evening, and then he ghosts her. Turns out he has a good reason for ghosting her.

It's a pretty good reason. He's in the hospital. Yeah, he's very sick. Yeah, I mean I think that's that gets a pass.

It's a pretty good reason. He's in the hospital. Yeah, he's very sick. Yeah, I mean I think that's that gets a pass.

So you're saying, you're saying, all of the men who have ghosted me over the years, there's probably a great reason for Yeah.

Maybe you never know, Yeah you never have you ever been ghosted?

Maybe you never know, Yeah you never have you ever been ghosted?

I think that I'm the kind of person that it would be impossible to ghost me, because if you don't respond to my text messages, I will not stop texting you until you do, like, and they'll get they'll get longer, they'll be like paragraphs of like, I know you can hear me, And this is how I feel about it.

Yeah, yes, I realized pretty quickly on set. I was like, I can do this because you have to operate. I have three little kids, and you have to operate with very little sleep.

Yeah, yes, I realized pretty quickly on set. I was like, I can do this because you have to operate. I have three little kids, and you have to operate with very little sleep.

You have to.

You have to.

Multitask, you have to think ten steps ahead, but also be in the present moment, manage people's hunger levels, like let's take a back rim. And that's not to say that actors and crew members are like little kids, but I just mean you have to be looking out for everybody's need.

I mean first of all, because I'm like I was when I explained to people that I met Isabelle playing her mother, I'm like, whatever, she was pretending to be a little girl. Yes, but yeah, it was the very dark horror movie and I played a sociopath spoiler alert. But we had a lot more fun on which you were here. There's a lot of moments of levity and silliness to kind of suck you in before the tragedy happened.

Yes, much much lighter, more beautiful story. You got to work with the close friend of yours on the score of the film, Vanessa Carlton.

Yes, much much lighter, more beautiful story. You got to work with the close friend of yours on the score of the film, Vanessa Carlton.

Yeah, I loved, loved, loved putting music to this film, and we sourced a lot of existing songs that I had a playlist that we put in. And but Vanessa and I have known each other since high school and I know that she we've stayed friends through all different walks of life, like we really when A Thousand Miles came out, and it was around the same time that I think Ten Things I Hate About You came out, and so we were both having success in our careers and kind of like, what is this thing that we've wanted for so long? But it's kind of scary and not many people understand it. And then, you know, dating in our twenties and having families, and I know that she had always and career ups and downs. She had wanted to score a film for a really long time. This is the first film that she's done, so of course when I had the opportunity, I reached out to her and she wrote like beautiful, beautiful music with her husband, John McCauley, who is from the band Diertik, And the combination of the two of them is like, you know, there are a couple writing music about for a movie about a couple, and he's got like this gravelly, you know, kind of masculine musical vibe, and she's got her piano, amazing piano composition.

It was such a perfect collaboration for the two of you. I'm curious. You came up as a young actress teenager in the world before social media was really a thing. Now every actor that's coming up is on social media. There are platforms and sharing, and it's so it's like your personal life is so out there. Do you look back and go, thank god, I didn't have that, Oh my god.
