mmm
him
the
0 the
we're doing what we're doing is saying we're we're talking about
a movie The you guys made and i've seen I think we should explain what the movie
is about nag rather you do it to me
well all boy arm
what is the movie about its it's about
it's not about the weather underground that's the event that kicks off the
movie
it's about those people that went underground
at that time the assumed a false identity to stay free from going to jail
and they want underground and assumed a false identity in order to have
a life and in the course of time as times changed
and to change those people change but they were trapped by their past
the the pursuer in this case is shy who plays a reporter
which something you know about yet um and then
up the character that I plays a character that's
has been hiding for a long time has a young daughter and realizes that in
order to have
the love that daughter that's always got left in his life
he has to go on the run to clear his name and it becomes like the 100 200
and so but it's really about it's not about that time
%uh the underground that just sets of it's about with these people's lives
like
years later having to live without their true names so basically
can you do that or is there a moment that comes in your life and you have to
say
even with the consequence I have to face I have to
give that up so I can be truly who are so bad its
it's a fairly important cast because you know others to question the movie
there's your class you care to his question his character's class 10
people have to buy him in that role but its it's also up by the fact that
a that you can be working with him I'm you guys are going to be paired up
not just as E at director and actor but actor in actors who were
what did you see in those meetings that yeah I think check Angeles
what I saw was that he
pretty much right off the bat we first met had a lot of the qualities I was
looking for
and that is a very quick mind and I'm and a quick Tom
and he had both of them and then the next question was well
how much would he be able to for where this row cuz I think enacted to give a
good performance as to where the
roller the character they're playing so I didn't spend a lot of time
wish I on that because I felt pretty early on that he was right
and it was a question just making him comfortable because
I was quickly comparable and
because I saw I saw his his character
as the driving engine of the plane other words the
the plot the story was just sitting there it was sitting there like
a volcano wedding waiting to erupt and his character being the reporter
that begins to pursue that begins that it becomes in the 100 200
which is always interesting to me in love the work that I've done I'm very
fascinated by that relationship Camino
the 100 200 or predator prey and so he becomes the hunter
1c starts to move
the story moves stars to break open
and then he drives that story to a point above
chaos he drives
story to a point where it creates chaos for all the people who have comfortably
hidden underground with new lives
and so forth he breaks everything loose in wide open but in the course that
he has two weeks it starts out as self-interest a reporter who
self-interest is
I want to get this story for my own bandages much as anything else in as he
pursues it
something begins to happen where
by the end of the film he has to begin to look at himself in ways that maybe he
had in the book to journalists in the murder
a um I think janet malcolm rates a danger
a journalist who is always telling somebody out in no one of the first
things bob tell me see the beauty the situation was
I'm not just my prep work but everything bobbitt prepped when he did it you know
and
not just working on a script working on past characters and the people that he
had run into
remember him saying you know this guy's music changes
every room he's in his favorite music changes every room isn't
right and I thought that was really that was really interesting
that was a key in the character you know that's the direction from bob is usually
one sentence then I'll just send you off running
for the rest your tender their you know this guy's music changes in every room
his favorite music changes in every room is in our members I was like
being did you a
look around say we have just seems fine to me and my neck Singh was with Julie
Christie and then I get
Chris Cooper and then mean bobber gonna do a little scene later
I am I so was it a big jack piper use a as a young actor
year but I was done I was terrified you know so I was by was their work
you know I was always there also I was always there night always
I read that is your legs cable the bobbin yeah
yeah that's what it is you know be there are days when I wasn't working just like
sorta hang up by the monitor
know that was so great you know how many are dead to me that I'm sorry go ahead
go know that so it is no
truth we lay we like our own sanity to you know I wanted to just watch other
people were to be days like Chris Cooper we show up and they have their seen that
sorta be
quietly observing I mean it's a front row ticket to some cool stuff you know
their commitment to me what was exciting about
that was that level of commitment I mean that just thrills
me as a person as an artist but it also is
a director is pretty thrilling that that kind of a commitment
have an actor when he's not working how come and work in Logan study to absorb
stuff
he did that all the way through the film it was that it was also like I
for the hearing about Bob's prep with Dustin when they were doing
All the President's Men the speed of the speech remember mean by being very
specific about speed of speech
generationally you know and and and and the speed of the mine generationally the
reporter speed
you know with me and Brendan Gleeson managing levels of speed and things like
that
or you know me with tucci and that speed being very different to them
and so you know like I would have to catch Tucci on his days when he be in
there are no wardrobe assignment or something like that
and I but as bob was okay if I come in sort of all these guys around master
hearse with them
so so I was sorta hang out with bomb until Brendan Gleeson we have a free
moment
nyquil run over with him and we would rule for a little bit whenever we would
have some time
and that he would go work with bob and I we for 2g to have a moment and so
it was a working said yes and there's a fan and get free craft service in 10
by but I'm also I was only cheap was here for a bit
but I mostly taken opportunities when I have them and also for me finding
comfort with these men
makes it easier for me to be adversarial you know it's different
if if I was looking up to bob the whole time this movie would would have been
very very easy for me but because
there's moments where I'm coming at him from this angle I
there has to be a comfort zone with me and him that the and the only way I can
get there was to be around
you know and and that with most other people in the story because I'm playing
quite a
o'clock individual and you don't feel like the the the most a
you don't feel the most confidence when your room with the Brendan Gleeson
Robert Redford a Stanley Tucci if you're me feel quite small
hazard to get outta that I I was around all the time
I've seen as Sundance Institute I'd
as as you know I like come into that little fastball you have every year
um and i've seen the ski hill the ski on an
I think to myself me and I think I just stay up there and do that
million it's pretty up there it's nice up there me get a movie is hard
unit is especially nobody wanna give you need alright so
and so you go to Rome with the tin cup in your
and and so way what why why do it what is it about the form that that pulls you
into
a I do it when you have a really nice life would
you can avoid it Susan certain says in the film will
you do what you have to do another words I just want to create
work I want to tell stories through film
and so therefore yes all those great in that festival by the way is big
it was the most fun when it was small when I started it because
there the odds were against it you know this is you can start a festival for
independent film
and you do it in Utah or in in
in that religious environment socially as I can be possible to do
there Icarus wanna try it wanna do it so
it with in its struggle for a while and then it went to where it is now
which is United Turner call shoulder on success but
it's big it's part it satisfies need is great
but it's not as fun as it was when it was first starting so when you ask you
know yeah I could set up there is a beautiful place obviously
um and I've tried to keep it as beautiful as possible
but what I do is the more I have to work I have to create
something that city if you took all that away if you took all that land away it
would hurt
but I was still have this and so that's the most important
the
