00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.870
- This film is about
storytelling truth and fantasy.

2
00:00:03.870 --> 00:00:06.480
And I wanna know what you guys think

3
00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:08.010
about who gets to tell stories,

4
00:00:08.010 --> 00:00:11.883
and what kind of power
storytellers have right now.

5
00:00:13.260 --> 00:00:14.190
- Great question, Linda.

6
00:00:14.190 --> 00:00:15.023
It's good.

7
00:00:15.023 --> 00:00:17.340
I think, you know, we've realized that,

8
00:00:17.340 --> 00:00:19.410
we started this journey
about four years ago,

9
00:00:19.410 --> 00:00:23.701
three years ago, maybe way
longer for John, John, George.

10
00:00:23.701 --> 00:00:24.930
And-
- Well,

11
00:00:24.930 --> 00:00:27.870
he was called John then.
- Well. (laughs)

12
00:00:27.870 --> 00:00:31.110
And, you know, as the films come in

13
00:00:31.110 --> 00:00:34.350
into its opportunity to show the world,

14
00:00:34.350 --> 00:00:36.480
the relevance of this story has become

15
00:00:36.480 --> 00:00:38.970
more and more crystal to us.

16
00:00:38.970 --> 00:00:41.610
And we come at a junction where, you know,

17
00:00:41.610 --> 00:00:45.180
the world has seen an absolute end

18
00:00:45.180 --> 00:00:47.160
to storytelling as we know it.

19
00:00:47.160 --> 00:00:48.930
And now we're seeing a new dawn.

20
00:00:48.930 --> 00:00:51.540
And that new dawn is the realization

21
00:00:51.540 --> 00:00:54.150
that some people with
power can tell us a story

22
00:00:54.150 --> 00:00:56.760
and completely shift
everyone's perspective

23
00:00:56.760 --> 00:00:59.253
for both good and for both bad.

24
00:01:00.180 --> 00:01:05.130
And we realized that we
are the storytelling ape.

25
00:01:05.130 --> 00:01:10.130
We are that organism that uses
stories to move each other.

26
00:01:13.890 --> 00:01:15.720
And so that's why it's so important

27
00:01:15.720 --> 00:01:19.020
that a film like this sort of
gives the audience a moment

28
00:01:19.020 --> 00:01:22.361
to kind of really think
about what they're reading,

29
00:01:22.361 --> 00:01:25.890
who it's coming from, where it came from,

30
00:01:25.890 --> 00:01:27.450
what's the genesis of it,

31
00:01:27.450 --> 00:01:29.730
what would that story feel like

32
00:01:29.730 --> 00:01:32.610
in the future if you told it again.

33
00:01:32.610 --> 00:01:35.430
These are really important junctions.

34
00:01:35.430 --> 00:01:36.390
Sorry, long answer.

35
00:01:36.390 --> 00:01:37.743
- Nice, perfect answer.
