WEBVTT 1 00:00:04.050 --> 00:00:05.130 I am Mavis Belmont. 2 00:00:05.790 --> 00:00:06.690 And I have a passion. 3 00:00:06.690 --> 00:00:08.970 For fashion. Mm-hmm. , that's a little much. 4 00:00:08.970 --> 00:00:11.010 I'm overcompensating because I'm nervous. 5 00:00:11.070 --> 00:00:12.600 I can slap you if you want. 6 00:00:12.900 --> 00:00:13.200 That's a. 7 00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:17.940 No thank you. Oh, 8 00:00:18.270 --> 00:00:22.920 amazing. Um, my show is about a 38 year old woman who, 9 00:00:23.040 --> 00:00:27.060 um, just experiences a huge betrayal, 10 00:00:27.070 --> 00:00:31.470 but that also kicks, uh, kicks her off for a, um, 11 00:00:31.530 --> 00:00:36.120 very important journey of self-discovery. Uh, who she wants to be, 12 00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:40.440 um, what she wants to do. Um, you know, 13 00:00:40.440 --> 00:00:43.260 who she's gonna roll with because you really are the company you keep. Right? 14 00:00:43.650 --> 00:00:47.730 And, um, I'm so proud of this show because, um, 15 00:00:48.090 --> 00:00:51.600 I feel like a lot of people can relate to it. Uh, whether it's being cheated on, 16 00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:54.690 whether it's having, um, a best friend that's a different, uh, 17 00:00:54.720 --> 00:00:58.080 from a different walk of life. And honestly, 18 00:00:58.080 --> 00:01:00.930 just trying to do the whole hustle in New York is a bang 19 00:01:03.420 --> 00:01:04.770 no matter where you're from. , 20 00:01:09.030 --> 00:01:12.930 You know, the circle, when I first saw the format, because it's British, 21 00:01:14.160 --> 00:01:18.630 I was like, I've never seen anything like this before. Um, but I love, 22 00:01:19.110 --> 00:01:22.020 I love voiceover work. I love being shady. 23 00:01:22.650 --> 00:01:27.030 But as I started to be more involved with the project, I realized, oh my god, 24 00:01:27.030 --> 00:01:31.260 these people are really good people. These are really kind people. 25 00:01:31.320 --> 00:01:34.620 And social media's very important 'cause we're gonna have it around for the rest 26 00:01:34.620 --> 00:01:38.910 of our lives. And what does our profile picture say about us? 27 00:01:38.910 --> 00:01:43.230 And how much should you share or not? And, um, you know, 28 00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:49.520 why are people mean? And you know, how come they are insecure? Like, 29 00:01:49.650 --> 00:01:54.390 I remember there was someone who picked a catfish pitcher of a skinny girl, 30 00:01:54.390 --> 00:01:58.950 and she was a plus size girl, and she is proud to be plus size. Um, 31 00:01:59.010 --> 00:02:01.410 but she gets so much hate on the internet that she said, 32 00:02:01.410 --> 00:02:05.400 I'm going in as a model because people will be nice to me. And then, you know, 33 00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:07.860 when people are just like, you're so real. You're so real, you're so real. 34 00:02:07.860 --> 00:02:09.690 She's like, oh my God, I actually have to be real. 35 00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:13.380 And so I feel like that's a very important story for everybody because judging a 36 00:02:13.380 --> 00:02:17.880 book by his cover is not always the way to go. And so I feel like, 37 00:02:18.540 --> 00:02:22.500 you know, again, a show like that where you're in competition with yourself, 38 00:02:23.040 --> 00:02:27.120 you know, um, is important and also fun. And also I get to be shady. 39 00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:29.370 And also I get to wear sweatpants for most of the show. 40 00:02:33.150 --> 00:02:37.470 Um, the last show that I binged is beef, um, 41 00:02:37.530 --> 00:02:42.270 because I love Ali Wong and I also love the creator showrunner because I did a 42 00:02:42.270 --> 00:02:43.500 pilot with him that nobody watched. 43 00:02:43.500 --> 00:02:46.290 But he was so talented and I'm so glad it worked out for him. 44 00:02:46.290 --> 00:02:47.070 And he is amazing too.
