00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.650
- We'll see if we can still

2
00:00:01.650 --> 00:00:04.013
get our old bones into the ring.

3
00:00:04.013 --> 00:00:06.596
(upbeat music)

4
00:00:07.620 --> 00:00:10.350
- You co-wrote and starred in this movie

5
00:00:10.350 --> 00:00:12.570
and obviously co-wrote
it with your husband.

6
00:00:12.570 --> 00:00:14.940
Tell me about the
inspiration behind the film.

7
00:00:14.940 --> 00:00:17.490
- We sort of came at it
from a few directions.

8
00:00:17.490 --> 00:00:19.710
We first came up with the idea

9
00:00:19.710 --> 00:00:22.290
when we were in Dave's
hometown of Palo Alto

10
00:00:22.290 --> 00:00:24.210
in Northern California
and we were taking a walk

11
00:00:24.210 --> 00:00:26.730
from his high school to his mom's house.

12
00:00:26.730 --> 00:00:29.520
Dave is still really close
with a lot of his friends

13
00:00:29.520 --> 00:00:32.190
from elementary school, basically,

14
00:00:32.190 --> 00:00:34.500
and when we're back at his mom's house,

15
00:00:34.500 --> 00:00:35.940
it's like a mini time capsule.

16
00:00:35.940 --> 00:00:40.170
I think it just had us
thinking about that feeling

17
00:00:40.170 --> 00:00:43.110
when you're back home, when
you see people from your past

18
00:00:43.110 --> 00:00:48.110
and how you kind of can't hide
your truest self from them

19
00:00:49.348 --> 00:00:52.470
and also as we get older when we go back,

20
00:00:52.470 --> 00:00:55.470
you start to analyze, am I
where I thought I would be

21
00:00:55.470 --> 00:00:56.520
when I was a teenager?

22
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:58.650
What dreams came true, which ones didn't?

23
00:00:58.650 --> 00:01:01.380
- Obviously, you fostered
this film together

24
00:01:01.380 --> 00:01:04.800
through the Covid-19
pandemic and you're there

25
00:01:04.800 --> 00:01:06.630
at every step working together.

26
00:01:06.630 --> 00:01:07.770
What was that like?

27
00:01:07.770 --> 00:01:10.260
And obviously I saw on
"Kelly Clarkson" yesterday,

28
00:01:10.260 --> 00:01:13.223
you were asked about
filming intimate scenes

29
00:01:13.223 --> 00:01:15.810
knowing that your husband
is behind the camera

30
00:01:15.810 --> 00:01:19.560
with somebody else and
I never thought that,

31
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:21.330
was there any kind of apprehension too

32
00:01:21.330 --> 00:01:24.720
on the part of Jay Ellis,
you're onscreen love interest?

33
00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:27.930
- If there was, he didn't
say anything to me about it,

34
00:01:27.930 --> 00:01:30.120
so I'm glad.

35
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:31.770
Yeah, as I said to Kelly,

36
00:01:31.770 --> 00:01:34.770
it doesn't make Dave and I uncomfortable

37
00:01:34.770 --> 00:01:37.950
and we've worked together enough now.

38
00:01:37.950 --> 00:01:40.470
The second movie that we did together ever

39
00:01:40.470 --> 00:01:44.220
as actors was Jeff
Baena's "The Little Hours"

40
00:01:44.220 --> 00:01:48.540
and in that movie, Dave
has make out or sex scenes

41
00:01:48.540 --> 00:01:51.600
with like three other actresses and me.

42
00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:54.780
So I just feel like that was
the ripping of the bandaid,

43
00:01:54.780 --> 00:01:55.613
you know what I mean?

44
00:01:55.613 --> 00:01:57.420
Where it was like, "Oh, right."

45
00:01:57.420 --> 00:02:01.200
I realized that it sounds
wild but we are actors.

46
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:02.580
This is our job.

47
00:02:02.580 --> 00:02:06.480
It's actually not that weird
and with something like this

48
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:09.390
because it's our baby
that we made together,

49
00:02:09.390 --> 00:02:12.120
I think our first priority
is always just the movie.

50
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:14.730
Does the scene feel right and good?

51
00:02:14.730 --> 00:02:17.310
We don't want my romantic scenes with Jay

52
00:02:17.310 --> 00:02:20.703
to play awkwardly or strangely in any way.

53
00:02:21.660 --> 00:02:24.030
Just visiting my old
haunts on the off chance

54
00:02:24.030 --> 00:02:26.220
I might run into an ex from 10 years ago.

55
00:02:26.220 --> 00:02:28.505
- How many of you run into so far?
