Speaker 5 (03:04):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
So you played Anya in the film? I believe correct.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
I did.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Yes, we watched it, me and my girlfriend and my
buddy actor Jacob.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
It was absolutely amazing. The film was so cold.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Oh thank you, Yeah, he did.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
Guy did an amazing job with it, Like I mean,
pre production, post production, that was all.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
He and Josh were just incredible.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
We've been talking with Guy and Josh. I'm sorry we
couldn't meet up at Comic Con. We used to so
slammed we everything was conflicting with times and juggling and
running around and all that jazz was pretty wild. But
we got yea one of they are they joining in here?
She and I guess I've seen people kind of coming
in and out.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
Uh yeah, I think so.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
At two thirty, everyone.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Was that's one minute.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
So let's see.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Your character was like she worked for like that corporation
and she ended up working with NASA. How was that
kind of getting into that kind of what would you
wrap your brain around that kind of a character.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Have you done any kind of characters like that before?
Speaker 6 (04:05):
I played like scientists and doctors before, but that was Yeah,
this this character specifically was very.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Very knowledgeable and yeah, just the whole idea of.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Oh, hi, Abigail's there, How are you doing there? Abigail? Hello,
how's again?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
We're talking with about the movie and all the good
jazz that y'all been doing with that amazing project.
Speaker 7 (04:30):
Oh amazing, it's nice to meet you. I'm Abigail as well.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
So your you did the voice for the VR his
his daughter, I believe right now.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
Yes, I played Buddy.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Yeah, that was I thought it was a very amazing way. Y'all.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
I've never seen a movie, you know, jump into VR
and use that as a plot device for storytelling. I
mean when you did, when you knew you were going
to be in the VR a lot, how did that
you know, how did you prepare for that?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Have you ever done anything in that kind of a
technical world.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
I've never done anything like that at all.
Speaker 8 (05:02):
It's actually was my first ever time doing voiceover work
in general. I'm an actress and I've never just used
my voice before. I've always you know, been physically acting
rather than just using my voice, and so it was
an interesting experience. Yeah, for sure. For using it as
a plot device, that was one of my favorite parts.
You know, you see the evolution of their relationship through
(05:26):
this VR vel and that was the aspect that I'm
most excited about, you know, for it to be part
of I love how by the end, you know, it's
fully imagined, her world is finished, and it represents their relationship.
You know, they're they're working on their relationship, and yeah,
it was one of the most exciting personal things to
(05:47):
see see it in its final film, betful film.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Joshua was here.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Good you're you're the director of the film. How did
you come up with this genius idea? What was like
the creative activity for that?
Speaker 9 (06:04):
Well, as much as I'd love to take credit for it,
Guy Bert Whistle, who will be joining us on the
star of it, wrote it.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
So he's on the transmissioning Is he getting there?
Speaker 5 (06:18):
He is there? He is so so Guy wrote it.
Speaker 9 (06:22):
He and I actually started on a version of Our
Man in La back in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I believe it was and pandemic or postpons.
Speaker 9 (06:32):
Yes, yes, Well, by the time we were ready to
shoot the version, we had written the first well, he
had written the first time COVID happened. So COVID is
kind of the reason that this film was reinvented into
a singular character and narrative, just for the reasons of
filming and keeping everybody safe and the whole thing.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
But I can let Guy guy Uh. Great question, they asked,
how did you come.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Up with.
Speaker 8 (07:00):
So?
Speaker 4 (07:06):
I think.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
It sort of came about from a conversation that was
having with a friend that.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
You know, it's.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
If you were going to take an alien technology dealer,
you would kind of have them like discovering all of
these laser beams and secret weapons and everything that had
fallen out of the UFO, and that, you know, it
was really kind of high sci fi and that's the
kind of thing you would ordinarily see. And we just
thought it was kind of really fun that if we
(07:37):
came across the UFO parts that there would be just
pieces of junk.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Just just glintering the planet.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
So maybe a billion miles away there was a spaceship
crash and bits went flying off, and then a million
years in the future they landed on Earth and we
found them, and then what would we do with that?
And you know, because when you find relics and you know,
old bones and things in certain countries, they belong to
(08:07):
the state.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
So when you start to.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Create this black market, global black market and UFO parks,
then it starts to get interesting.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
There's treasure hunters, there's all these types.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Of people that can get involved in shady characters and
scientists and things like that.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
So it opened up this whole world, which.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Is what we were really looking for to do more
than just the one movie, to kind of show a
little piece of a much bigger story that's going on all.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Around beyond absolutely amazing of the world in general.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Are you all going to plan on maybe doing some
sequels or any other convenience to that.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
Go ahead?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
We'd love to do.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
I mean the characters, you know, Krishna and Abigail, they
came in so strong with and you know, when you
work with great actors as a writer, all of a
sudden you start to write other things in your head,
you know, And so yeah, there are a couple of
other screenplays that have been written.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I have to do it. Very cool, very cool, that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Yeah, so yeah, yeah, sorry, I mean I think that's
what you want.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
You want people to leave and want more. I think
that's the goal.
Speaker 8 (09:20):
You know.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I watched it with my buddy Jacob and he's an
actor as well.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
He's doing Space Command.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
And my girlfriend she actually loves She said, you looked
a lot like Jason Stapan in the film.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
But.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Well it's a very handsome actor.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
The film actually is kind of like a sci fi
transport and kind of like, you know, if it were
sci fi was you're brokering and you know, stolen or transporting,
uh sci fi UFO relics and on.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Yeah, and I think in the movie, was it Crank
where he runs around l a Yeah, so that kind
of vibe too, where he's running around and jumping in cars.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Yeah. So I have a question.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
So we're we're talking with Abagail earlier and before you
all joined in about the use of like the virtual
reality headsets and how you communicated with your daughter's character
in that film. How did that what made you want
to join You kind of put in the VR aspect
as a plot device, utilizing because it's so popular on VR.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Do you want to talk about working with with aj Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 9 (10:24):
Yeah, No, Well as far as I mean so it
goes back to COVID a little bit, but as far
as the VR headset within the world, I think I
could speak a little bit forgot and writing it there.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
They're really a way to show this.
Speaker 9 (10:37):
Dynamic between the father and the daughter, because at the
end of the day, that was what this was about, right,
It's a father daughter story and that's the core of
this father trying to make right with this a strange relationship.
And so how could we show that if we really
didn't have did we want that to be their phone call?
Speaker 5 (10:54):
Did we want that to be in your piece conversation.
Speaker 9 (10:58):
It felt like there needed to be some kind of
almost literal representation of them being in front of each
other and yet they're so distant at the same time.
It's really this kind of weird juxtaposition between the two,
and I think that was important. I think that was
the main reason we really wanted to dig into that
VR world. Have them be together in the same room,
(11:19):
but not necessarily in the same room for filming issues
and things like that, but it's still got that point
across of their really strange relationship, right.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I thought it was a really interesting way to since
you said you do during pandemic, to be able to
still film but still be separate, but utilizing that technology
which is so wildly popular as a plot device. I
got a question for Krishna when you're playing Anya, did
that character like you said you'd done scientists and stuff
before when they mentioned that you were going to be
doing something like that, have you ever done anything with
(11:51):
NASA related or is this your first roles like NASA
and yeah.
Speaker 10 (11:55):
It's my first anything like alien related or yeah, NASA
like I was saying earlier, like I'd done doctors and
scientists before, but nothing at the stakes of this level.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
Or yeah, with the scope, like just the broad scope
of the.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Now is doing so much work with you know, scanning
that you got to James webs Space telescope, that exo
planets all that. If y'all had to say, I mean like,
it could very well be there may be something that's
crashed th Earth and maybe down.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
There knows that'd be totally cool.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
This question is for Joshua the film, being the director.
Were there any challenges beyond the pandemic that that you
had to deal with?
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Beyond that as.
Speaker 9 (12:35):
Oh man a laundry list, Yes, well listen. The other
side part of this is we shot this as a
one person crew, so it was me with the camera
you see behind me on my shoulder the entire time.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
A lot of it was natural light.
Speaker 9 (12:50):
A lot of it was because when we started this idea,
I thought, Okay, how can I do a sci fi
that doesn't really have anythingquote unquote sci fi in it?
You know, it's not like you're Blade Runner with me
and all this stuff, right, yeah, and still make it
feel real and yet it could be something more And
(13:12):
so I was okay. So I used a black Magic
production four k camera, which is an older camera, but
it had has that kind of grit feel, and I thought, Okay,
if I can shoot this on my shoulder using mostly
natural light, just get him in the right positions, then
this can feel really organic and it can feel documented,
(13:33):
but still outside of the world.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
Outside of this world.
Speaker 9 (13:37):
It could feel like it's something different that you know,
could expand and it could be very real and everybody
would believe what they're watching.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
And so that was that was the biggest challenge. Is
I'm rigging my camera onto his car.
Speaker 9 (13:49):
I'm you know, stuck in a passenger seat like this,
trying to just make sure I got focus, and you know,
we're doing everything that we need to do to get
the dot. But yeah, there were there were many of
physical challenges as well as performance with these great actresses,
you see, great actors. Guy was very easy because he
wrote the script and he cried out, so we would
(14:11):
show up and he would just.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
Automatically know what we were doing.
Speaker 9 (14:14):
And with the voiceover actors, it wasn't so much a
challenge as we just had to have them in a
room by themselves, and what we did was we would
place Guy within you know, vicinity of them so that
they could put off of each other, and I think
that really helped shape the performances that they gave. But
those weren't necessarily challenges. But it was fun working with
(14:37):
them in a different kind of way than my back
pain and having to run around with Guy and shoot
all overstangelists.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
So it offered all kinds of different corpsy challenges.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
We got to ask who did like the CGR for
the VR, all the environment of all he did all that.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
So that's a mystery person.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Doing as a favor and works for a larger gaming company.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Yeah, won't let them do things.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
On the side, I will say we got very lucky.
We were very and that's great. We were so pleased
with the result and what we got. And then even
the VR in the end, or not the VR, the
massive bunker at the end.
Speaker 9 (15:22):
I always told Guy from the beginning, I said, look,
no matter what happens, that ending it has to be
because it has to leave the audience going okay, even
if even if you know, Heaven forbid, even if somebody
didn't enjoy the film, then they could watch that ending
and go okay, that I'm hooked.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
I'll at least watch the next one. Because that was
that was how you ended, right, that.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Was epic at the end. How did y'all that whole thing?
How did y'all do? Like you set that up? Was
that in a bunker you said? And what was a
special affection?
Speaker 5 (15:53):
It was a c Yeah, it was. It was all
pretty much.
Speaker 9 (15:56):
I mean it was a lot of it was unreal engine,
to be honest, a lot of it was unreal engine.
And then we actually green screened the two folks in
the breathing suits, the respiratory suits. Those those are green
screen actors. And then we just made them smaller and
put them in unreal engine world and green screened them out.
So yeah, we just kind of different elements. We made
it work and add some music and light beams at
(16:19):
the top and you're you're jamming.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Who did the music good? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Yeah, I'd have to give a shout out to Matt Wagner,
who was the VFX artist for the closing scene in
the bunker at The score was Kirstin Evans and Thomas Eckensberger,
our couple that created created the music in a very
short amount of time. We wanted to do a new
score for Comic Con and they.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Came in and delivered in less than ten days, so
we got lucky.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Yeah, premiere Comic Con and the panel that was down there,
you said that was really good. Yeah, the big turnout.
When is the film going to be released, like September Occober.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Like to the public.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Yeah, So it's being prepped right now for delivery and
we're hoping to get it to the distributor at the
end of next week, so hopefully hopefully September.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Yeah. I got to ask a question. The film is
very I like the ending, it was very positive.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
What is the overall message that you and you got
and everybody in your own words like to deliver the
fan base of the sci fi.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
Starting with you.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Got everybody else can thinkure about it. So what what's
the message of the movie? So, you know, I noticed
as been a lot to talk about this in the press,
especially entertainment press, about about entertainment.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Needing a message. You know, I really think it's down
to the individual.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Like, if we've done everything anything, it's made somebody take
an hour or two out of.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Their lives just to enjoy themselves.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
That's the point of entertainment being and not have to
kind of impose anything upon them. But during that, during
the watching of the movie, if something occurs to them
about their own relationship with their family member or just
I've thought about this crazy universe that we live in,
that we're a rock flying through this infinite space, you know.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
I think if we've done something to give them a.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Broader perspective about life, I think that's that's great.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
But I don't really have a message.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
For all the film.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
It's very fun film and I like that there's a
positivity to it as well.
Speaker 9 (18:39):
What about you, Josh, Yeah, you know, for me, it's
just about For me, the message was always from the start,
I was really interested in, like I said, the father
daughter dynamic, and for me, based off that, it was
always just about showing up.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
You know, I'm about to be a parent myself, so
it was interesting for me, Thank you. It was interesting
for me to dig into that.
Speaker 9 (19:00):
So for me, it's just about it's never kind of
too late to rekindle a relationship, to reach out, and
that was really what I what I wanted to get
across in dealing with this father daughter relationship, and hopefully
people people can see that and get that from What
about you go.
Speaker 8 (19:18):
Yeah, I mean I think I'm a little biased just
because I play funny, But I think at the core
it is about the father daughter relationship and you're you know,
to your family and that you know, you can always
change things for yourself, and you know, as an actor,
there's always truth in fiction.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
You know.
Speaker 8 (19:40):
Yes, it's a science fiction, so it's a scenario. But
at the core, that's the most important part, is the
aspect that people can actually relate. But yes, there's a possibility,
there's there's always a possibility, But at the core of
it is the true the humanity is what is the
(20:02):
most important party?
Speaker 2 (20:05):
What about you Christian?
Speaker 11 (20:07):
Yeah, echo everybody else too. I think the heart of
it is that father daughter relationship. And I think ultimately
it's a redemption story about this man, yeah, trying to
find his way back to you know, and whether he
succeeds or fails, you know, and all the all the
the journey on the way there and and and where that,
(20:30):
where that takes us if we if we let it,
which is this big unknown uncertainty of the universe, And
so I just think it touches on everything.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Well, this question is.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
For Guy for since you're the main actor in the
film and you also wrote the film. For people getting
into like acting or want to get in the writing
or creating film, what's some my words or something you
could kind of give them to keep them on track
or take them to the next level and.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Be oh to uh.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
For people that want to become active or write A
screenwriter a screenwriters uh.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
You know.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
I I became a screenwriter out of necessity because I
just wasn't going out for parts that I really that
you know, there weren't a lot of science fiction movies
about a guy running around, you know, trading UFO parts,
so I had to write that myself.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
So it was out of necessity.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
But I think just to you know, I think one
of the things that binds us all together on this
on this project, from from my understanding, is that everyone
has really thrown themselves deeply into training and learning the
craft of acting. And there is so much joy in
(21:44):
going to a class and working with a group and
working with a teacher.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
And it's hard and it's painful, especially.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
In the beginning, but it's really fulfilling when you start
to see results. So if anyone's really looking to do this,
I would just I would encourage them wherever they are
in the country, or the will to just surround themselves
with like minded people and just throw themselves into it,
and then.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
They will have the sort of.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
The will power and the momentum to take them through
the tough times, because it is tough. It's yeah, anyway,
I'll be interested to hear what what Abigail and Christna
think to.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Points on that.
Speaker 8 (22:28):
Yeah, I just think you just can never stop because
you're just gonna hear so many notes. I hear those
every day, audition, every day, and just you know, if
you truly love it, this is truly what you want.
Speaker 7 (22:40):
To do, there's no stopping.
Speaker 8 (22:42):
They're just you don't have to continue, because that's if
it's all that you have in you, that's what you
are meant to do, to write, to act, If that
is you are meant to be a storyteller, then you're
going to storytell. So you just got to keep going.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
What about you, Christian, I was going to say, I
think Guy is a phenomenal example of just that there
are no limits or boundaries of what you can do.
We're no longer just waiting for our opportunities. We have
so much more agency now more than ever, I mean,
with our phones, with everything and so just you can
(23:17):
be busy. You can be busy even when it's slow
because you are working on your projects and you get
to write what you want to do. You can you
can work with the people you want to work with,
and there's there's just no limits. And so I think
it's a really exciting time for everyone in the industry.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
There really is.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
And now you've got all these tools, now can you said?
The green screen with these o led volumes now they
use for film and.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Stuff, like all the big ones from Mandelauri and all that.
I got to ask.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Y'all, each one of y'all, what if if y'all grew
up on sci fi? And I know you've got to
be fans some of y'all, what were some of else's
favorite sci fi's?
Speaker 2 (23:50):
One or two at least one big one for each
of y'all, starting with you and just Judge.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
Ooh favorite sci fi group.
Speaker 9 (23:56):
So for me, I mean, I don't want to be cliche,
though I feel like I have to different. I mean,
I'm gonna say Blade Runner, that's just it's just what
I mean. I've already said it here. But one that
I think is horror, but I consider sci fi is
event Horizon Neil.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Right, yeahs grade.
Speaker 9 (24:18):
Film that had a profound I watched that too young, probably,
but it had a profound impact on me and storytelling
and the horrors of space and just the whole thing.
I mean, even more than Alien. So I would say
Blade Runner than Horizon.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Rick, what about you?
Speaker 3 (24:33):
I mean, I'm a I grew up watching Doctor Who
on the Telly, you know, as a kid, and just
the tartist and it was so when you look at
it now, like the props are just you know, I
mean you really have to take a leap to imagine
the Daleks and everything. But just the idea behind it
(24:54):
that he would walk into this telephone box and then
it would be this massive, you know, it was just brilliant.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
I think the most significant thing for me has.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Been a book is a book actually called Roadside Picnic,
which I I go back to over and over and over.
I find it's one of the most brilliant pieces of
science fiction storytelling. It's called Roadside Picnic. I won't take
up any time talking about it, but.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Yeah, Eric, what about you?
Speaker 8 (25:31):
Yeah, I mean I love doom I and the most
recent adaptation.
Speaker 7 (25:35):
Yeah, I just absolutely love it.
Speaker 8 (25:37):
I'd be lying if I didn't say that, like Mass
Effect was of my favorite science fiction I know, yeah,
but I think we're now more than ever like the
appreciation of storytelling video games, because you know, like we
just saw The Last of Us and how amazing.
Speaker 7 (25:53):
It was adapted to a TV show. So if I
could see a massive.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
TV show, there's be some crazy.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
And they did Halo and they've done a lot of
other ones. Curious Wortal Combat should be a sequel to that.
Curious what they do with that? Yeah, I can't wait
for that.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Yeah, what about you, Christian.
Speaker 6 (26:12):
I didn't know you were a gamer, Abigail, that's cool.
I I'm going to be boring and say my favorite
sci fi movie of all time is Star Wars. A
lot of Star Wars love it, love it, love the
mythology of it, love the storytelling of it.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Loved Harrison Bord was my first crush it.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
And I'll tell you what that's crazy. Well, I wanted
to ask y'all. You said, the film is probably coming
out really soon. What what are y'all looking for? You're
gonna do any premieres or any like festivals or anything
like that.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
The showcase.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
We're going to certainly announce. We'll do all kinds of announcements.
Speaker 9 (26:56):
We'll certainly let the world know it's coming out, but

Good?
Speaker 2 (02:59):
How are you doing good? Waiting on everybody to pour
into the digital awesomeness.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
So you played Anya in the film? I believe correct.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
I did.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Yes, we watched it, me and my girlfriend and my
buddy actor Jacob.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
It was absolutely amazing. The film was so cold.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Oh thank you, Yeah, he did.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
Guy did an amazing job with it, Like I mean,
pre production, post production, that was all.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
He and Josh were just incredible.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
We've been talking with Guy and Josh. I'm sorry we
couldn't meet up at Comic Con. We used to so
slammed we everything was conflicting with times and juggling and
running around and all that jazz was pretty wild. But
we got yea one of they are they joining in here?
She and I guess I've seen people kind of coming
in and out.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
Uh yeah, I think so.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
At two thirty, everyone.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Was that's one minute.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
So let's see.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Your character was like she worked for like that corporation
and she ended up working with NASA. How was that
kind of getting into that kind of what would you
wrap your brain around that kind of a character.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Have you done any kind of characters like that before?
Speaker 6 (04:05):
I played like scientists and doctors before, but that was Yeah,
this this character specifically was very.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Very knowledgeable and yeah, just the whole idea of.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Oh, hi, Abigail's there, How are you doing there? Abigail? Hello,
how's again?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
We're talking with about the movie and all the good
jazz that y'all been doing with that amazing project.
Speaker 7 (04:30):
Oh amazing, it's nice to meet you. I'm Abigail as well.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
So your you did the voice for the VR his
his daughter, I believe right now.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
Yes, I played Buddy.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Yeah, that was I thought it was a very amazing way. Y'all.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
I've never seen a movie, you know, jump into VR
and use that as a plot device for storytelling. I
mean when you did, when you knew you were going
to be in the VR a lot, how did that
you know, how did you prepare for that?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Have you ever done anything in that kind of a
technical world.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
I've never done anything like that at all.
Speaker 8 (05:02):
It's actually was my first ever time doing voiceover work
in general. I'm an actress and I've never just used
my voice before. I've always you know, been physically acting
rather than just using my voice, and so it was
an interesting experience. Yeah, for sure. For using it as
a plot device, that was one of my favorite parts.
You know, you see the evolution of their relationship through
(05:26):
this VR vel and that was the aspect that I'm
most excited about, you know, for it to be part
of I love how by the end, you know, it's
fully imagined, her world is finished, and it represents their relationship.
You know, they're they're working on their relationship, and yeah,
it was one of the most exciting personal things to
(05:47):
see see it in its final film, betful film.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Joshua was here.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Good you're you're the director of the film. How did
you come up with this genius idea? What was like
the creative activity for that?
Speaker 9 (06:04):
Well, as much as I'd love to take credit for it,
Guy Bert Whistle, who will be joining us on the
star of it, wrote it.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
So he's on the transmissioning Is he getting there?
Speaker 5 (06:18):
He is there? He is so so Guy wrote it.
Speaker 9 (06:22):
He and I actually started on a version of Our
Man in La back in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I believe it was and pandemic or postpons.
Speaker 9 (06:32):
Yes, yes, Well, by the time we were ready to
shoot the version, we had written the first well, he
had written the first time COVID happened. So COVID is
kind of the reason that this film was reinvented into
a singular character and narrative, just for the reasons of
filming and keeping everybody safe and the whole thing.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
But I can let Guy guy Uh. Great question, they asked,
how did you come.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Up with.
Speaker 8 (07:00):
So?
Speaker 4 (07:06):
I think.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
It sort of came about from a conversation that was
having with a friend that.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
You know, it's.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
If you were going to take an alien technology dealer,
you would kind of have them like discovering all of
these laser beams and secret weapons and everything that had
fallen out of the UFO, and that, you know, it
was really kind of high sci fi and that's the
kind of thing you would ordinarily see. And we just
thought it was kind of really fun that if we
(07:37):
came across the UFO parts that there would be just
pieces of junk.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Just just glintering the planet.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
So maybe a billion miles away there was a spaceship
crash and bits went flying off, and then a million
years in the future they landed on Earth and we
found them, and then what would we do with that?
And you know, because when you find relics and you know,
old bones and things in certain countries, they belong to
(08:07):
the state.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
So when you start to.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Create this black market, global black market and UFO parks,
then it starts to get interesting.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
There's treasure hunters, there's all these types.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Of people that can get involved in shady characters and
scientists and things like that.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
So it opened up this whole world, which.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Is what we were really looking for to do more
than just the one movie, to kind of show a
little piece of a much bigger story that's going on all.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Around beyond absolutely amazing of the world in general.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Are you all going to plan on maybe doing some
sequels or any other convenience to that.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
Go ahead?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
We'd love to do.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
I mean the characters, you know, Krishna and Abigail, they
came in so strong with and you know, when you
work with great actors as a writer, all of a
sudden you start to write other things in your head,
you know, And so yeah, there are a couple of
other screenplays that have been written.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I have to do it. Very cool, very cool, that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Yeah, so yeah, yeah, sorry, I mean I think that's
what you want.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
You want people to leave and want more. I think
that's the goal.
Speaker 8 (09:20):
You know.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I watched it with my buddy Jacob and he's an
actor as well.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
He's doing Space Command.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
And my girlfriend she actually loves She said, you looked
a lot like Jason Stapan in the film.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
But.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Well it's a very handsome actor.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
The film actually is kind of like a sci fi
transport and kind of like, you know, if it were
sci fi was you're brokering and you know, stolen or transporting,
uh sci fi UFO relics and on.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Yeah, and I think in the movie, was it Crank
where he runs around l a Yeah, so that kind
of vibe too, where he's running around and jumping in cars.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Yeah. So I have a question.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
So we're we're talking with Abagail earlier and before you
all joined in about the use of like the virtual
reality headsets and how you communicated with your daughter's character
in that film. How did that what made you want
to join You kind of put in the VR aspect
as a plot device, utilizing because it's so popular on VR.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Do you want to talk about working with with aj Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 9 (10:24):
Yeah, No, Well as far as I mean so it
goes back to COVID a little bit, but as far
as the VR headset within the world, I think I
could speak a little bit forgot and writing it there.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
They're really a way to show this.
Speaker 9 (10:37):
Dynamic between the father and the daughter, because at the
end of the day, that was what this was about, right,
It's a father daughter story and that's the core of
this father trying to make right with this a strange relationship.
And so how could we show that if we really
didn't have did we want that to be their phone call?
Speaker 5 (10:54):
Did we want that to be in your piece conversation.
Speaker 9 (10:58):
It felt like there needed to be some kind of
almost literal representation of them being in front of each
other and yet they're so distant at the same time.
It's really this kind of weird juxtaposition between the two,
and I think that was important. I think that was
the main reason we really wanted to dig into that
VR world. Have them be together in the same room,
(11:19):
but not necessarily in the same room for filming issues
and things like that, but it's still got that point
across of their really strange relationship, right.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I thought it was a really interesting way to since
you said you do during pandemic, to be able to
still film but still be separate, but utilizing that technology
which is so wildly popular as a plot device. I
got a question for Krishna when you're playing Anya, did
that character like you said you'd done scientists and stuff
before when they mentioned that you were going to be
doing something like that, have you ever done anything with
(11:51):
NASA related or is this your first roles like NASA
and yeah.
Speaker 10 (11:55):
It's my first anything like alien related or yeah, NASA
like I was saying earlier, like I'd done doctors and
scientists before, but nothing at the stakes of this level.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
Or yeah, with the scope, like just the broad scope
of the.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Now is doing so much work with you know, scanning
that you got to James webs Space telescope, that exo
planets all that. If y'all had to say, I mean like,
it could very well be there may be something that's
crashed th Earth and maybe down.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
There knows that'd be totally cool.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
This question is for Joshua the film, being the director.
Were there any challenges beyond the pandemic that that you
had to deal with?
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Beyond that as.
Speaker 9 (12:35):
Oh man a laundry list, Yes, well listen. The other
side part of this is we shot this as a
one person crew, so it was me with the camera
you see behind me on my shoulder the entire time.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
A lot of it was natural light.
Speaker 9 (12:50):
A lot of it was because when we started this idea,
I thought, Okay, how can I do a sci fi
that doesn't really have anythingquote unquote sci fi in it?
You know, it's not like you're Blade Runner with me
and all this stuff, right, yeah, and still make it
feel real and yet it could be something more And
(13:12):
so I was okay. So I used a black Magic
production four k camera, which is an older camera, but
it had has that kind of grit feel, and I thought, Okay,
if I can shoot this on my shoulder using mostly
natural light, just get him in the right positions, then
this can feel really organic and it can feel documented,
(13:33):
but still outside of the world.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
Outside of this world.
Speaker 9 (13:37):
It could feel like it's something different that you know,
could expand and it could be very real and everybody
would believe what they're watching.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
And so that was that was the biggest challenge. Is
I'm rigging my camera onto his car.
Speaker 9 (13:49):
I'm you know, stuck in a passenger seat like this,
trying to just make sure I got focus, and you know,
we're doing everything that we need to do to get
the dot. But yeah, there were there were many of
physical challenges as well as performance with these great actresses,
you see, great actors. Guy was very easy because he
wrote the script and he cried out, so we would
(14:11):
show up and he would just.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
Automatically know what we were doing.
Speaker 9 (14:14):
And with the voiceover actors, it wasn't so much a
challenge as we just had to have them in a
room by themselves, and what we did was we would
place Guy within you know, vicinity of them so that
they could put off of each other, and I think
that really helped shape the performances that they gave. But
those weren't necessarily challenges. But it was fun working with
(14:37):
them in a different kind of way than my back
pain and having to run around with Guy and shoot
all overstangelists.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
So it offered all kinds of different corpsy challenges.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
We got to ask who did like the CGR for
the VR, all the environment of all he did all that.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
So that's a mystery person.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Doing as a favor and works for a larger gaming company.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Yeah, won't let them do things.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
On the side, I will say we got very lucky.
We were very and that's great. We were so pleased
with the result and what we got. And then even
the VR in the end, or not the VR, the
massive bunker at the end.
Speaker 9 (15:22):
I always told Guy from the beginning, I said, look,
no matter what happens, that ending it has to be
because it has to leave the audience going okay, even
if even if you know, Heaven forbid, even if somebody
didn't enjoy the film, then they could watch that ending
and go okay, that I'm hooked.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
I'll at least watch the next one. Because that was
that was how you ended, right, that.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Was epic at the end. How did y'all that whole thing?
How did y'all do? Like you set that up? Was
that in a bunker you said? And what was a
special affection?
Speaker 5 (15:53):
It was a c Yeah, it was. It was all
pretty much.
Speaker 9 (15:56):
I mean it was a lot of it was unreal engine,
to be honest, a lot of it was unreal engine.
And then we actually green screened the two folks in
the breathing suits, the respiratory suits. Those those are green
screen actors. And then we just made them smaller and
put them in unreal engine world and green screened them out.
So yeah, we just kind of different elements. We made
it work and add some music and light beams at
(16:19):
the top and you're you're jamming.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Who did the music good? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Yeah, I'd have to give a shout out to Matt Wagner,
who was the VFX artist for the closing scene in
the bunker at The score was Kirstin Evans and Thomas Eckensberger,
our couple that created created the music in a very
short amount of time. We wanted to do a new
score for Comic Con and they.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Came in and delivered in less than ten days, so
we got lucky.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Yeah, premiere Comic Con and the panel that was down there,
you said that was really good. Yeah, the big turnout.
When is the film going to be released, like September Occober.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Like to the public.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Yeah, So it's being prepped right now for delivery and
we're hoping to get it to the distributor at the
end of next week, so hopefully hopefully September.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Yeah. I got to ask a question. The film is
very I like the ending, it was very positive.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
What is the overall message that you and you got
and everybody in your own words like to deliver the
fan base of the sci fi.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
Starting with you.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Got everybody else can thinkure about it. So what what's
the message of the movie? So, you know, I noticed
as been a lot to talk about this in the press,
especially entertainment press, about about entertainment.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Needing a message. You know, I really think it's down
to the individual.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Like, if we've done everything anything, it's made somebody take
an hour or two out of.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Their lives just to enjoy themselves.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
That's the point of entertainment being and not have to
kind of impose anything upon them. But during that, during
the watching of the movie, if something occurs to them
about their own relationship with their family member or just
I've thought about this crazy universe that we live in,
that we're a rock flying through this infinite space, you know.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
I think if we've done something to give them a.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Broader perspective about life, I think that's that's great.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
But I don't really have a message.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
For all the film.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
It's very fun film and I like that there's a
positivity to it as well.
Speaker 9 (18:39):
What about you, Josh, Yeah, you know, for me, it's
just about For me, the message was always from the start,
I was really interested in, like I said, the father
daughter dynamic, and for me, based off that, it was
always just about showing up.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
You know, I'm about to be a parent myself, so
it was interesting for me, Thank you. It was interesting
for me to dig into that.
Speaker 9 (19:00):
So for me, it's just about it's never kind of
too late to rekindle a relationship, to reach out, and
that was really what I what I wanted to get
across in dealing with this father daughter relationship, and hopefully
people people can see that and get that from What
about you go.
Speaker 8 (19:18):
Yeah, I mean I think I'm a little biased just
because I play funny, But I think at the core
it is about the father daughter relationship and you're you know,
to your family and that you know, you can always
change things for yourself, and you know, as an actor,
there's always truth in fiction.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
You know.
Speaker 8 (19:40):
Yes, it's a science fiction, so it's a scenario. But
at the core, that's the most important part, is the
aspect that people can actually relate. But yes, there's a possibility,
there's there's always a possibility, But at the core of
it is the true the humanity is what is the
(20:02):
most important party?
Speaker 2 (20:05):
What about you Christian?
Speaker 11 (20:07):
Yeah, echo everybody else too. I think the heart of
it is that father daughter relationship. And I think ultimately
it's a redemption story about this man, yeah, trying to
find his way back to you know, and whether he
succeeds or fails, you know, and all the all the
the journey on the way there and and and where that,
(20:30):
where that takes us if we if we let it,
which is this big unknown uncertainty of the universe, And
so I just think it touches on everything.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Well, this question is.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
For Guy for since you're the main actor in the
film and you also wrote the film. For people getting
into like acting or want to get in the writing
or creating film, what's some my words or something you
could kind of give them to keep them on track
or take them to the next level and.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Be oh to uh.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
For people that want to become active or write A
screenwriter a screenwriters uh.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
You know.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
I I became a screenwriter out of necessity because I
just wasn't going out for parts that I really that
you know, there weren't a lot of science fiction movies
about a guy running around, you know, trading UFO parts,
so I had to write that myself.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
So it was out of necessity.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
But I think just to you know, I think one
of the things that binds us all together on this
on this project, from from my understanding, is that everyone
has really thrown themselves deeply into training and learning the
craft of acting. And there is so much joy in
(21:44):
going to a class and working with a group and
working with a teacher.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
And it's hard and it's painful, especially.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
In the beginning, but it's really fulfilling when you start
to see results. So if anyone's really looking to do this,
I would just I would encourage them wherever they are
in the country, or the will to just surround themselves
with like minded people and just throw themselves into it,
and then.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
They will have the sort of.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
The will power and the momentum to take them through
the tough times, because it is tough. It's yeah, anyway,
I'll be interested to hear what what Abigail and Christna
think to.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Points on that.
Speaker 8 (22:28):
Yeah, I just think you just can never stop because
you're just gonna hear so many notes. I hear those
every day, audition, every day, and just you know, if
you truly love it, this is truly what you want.
Speaker 7 (22:40):
To do, there's no stopping.
Speaker 8 (22:42):
They're just you don't have to continue, because that's if
it's all that you have in you, that's what you
are meant to do, to write, to act, If that
is you are meant to be a storyteller, then you're
going to storytell. So you just got to keep going.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
What about you, Christian, I was going to say, I
think Guy is a phenomenal example of just that there
are no limits or boundaries of what you can do.
We're no longer just waiting for our opportunities. We have
so much more agency now more than ever, I mean,
with our phones, with everything and so just you can
(23:17):
be busy. You can be busy even when it's slow
because you are working on your projects and you get
to write what you want to do. You can you
can work with the people you want to work with,
and there's there's just no limits. And so I think
it's a really exciting time for everyone in the industry.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
There really is.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
And now you've got all these tools, now can you said?
The green screen with these o led volumes now they
use for film and.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Stuff, like all the big ones from Mandelauri and all that.
I got to ask.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Y'all, each one of y'all, what if if y'all grew
up on sci fi? And I know you've got to
be fans some of y'all, what were some of else's
favorite sci fi's?
Speaker 2 (23:50):
One or two at least one big one for each
of y'all, starting with you and just Judge.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
Ooh favorite sci fi group.
Speaker 9 (23:56):
So for me, I mean, I don't want to be cliche,
though I feel like I have to different. I mean,
I'm gonna say Blade Runner, that's just it's just what
I mean. I've already said it here. But one that
I think is horror, but I consider sci fi is
event Horizon Neil.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Right, yeahs grade.
Speaker 9 (24:18):
Film that had a profound I watched that too young, probably,
but it had a profound impact on me and storytelling
and the horrors of space and just the whole thing.
I mean, even more than Alien. So I would say
Blade Runner than Horizon.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Rick, what about you?
Speaker 3 (24:33):
I mean, I'm a I grew up watching Doctor Who
on the Telly, you know, as a kid, and just
the tartist and it was so when you look at
it now, like the props are just you know, I
mean you really have to take a leap to imagine
the Daleks and everything. But just the idea behind it
(24:54):
that he would walk into this telephone box and then
it would be this massive, you know, it was just brilliant.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
I think the most significant thing for me has.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Been a book is a book actually called Roadside Picnic,
which I I go back to over and over and over.
I find it's one of the most brilliant pieces of
science fiction storytelling. It's called Roadside Picnic. I won't take
up any time talking about it, but.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Yeah, Eric, what about you?
Speaker 8 (25:31):
Yeah, I mean I love doom I and the most
recent adaptation.
Speaker 7 (25:35):
Yeah, I just absolutely love it.
Speaker 8 (25:37):
I'd be lying if I didn't say that, like Mass
Effect was of my favorite science fiction I know, yeah,
but I think we're now more than ever like the
appreciation of storytelling video games, because you know, like we
just saw The Last of Us and how amazing.
Speaker 7 (25:53):
It was adapted to a TV show. So if I
could see a massive.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
TV show, there's be some crazy.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
And they did Halo and they've done a lot of
other ones. Curious Wortal Combat should be a sequel to that.
Curious what they do with that? Yeah, I can't wait
for that.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Yeah, what about you, Christian.
Speaker 6 (26:12):
I didn't know you were a gamer, Abigail, that's cool.
I I'm going to be boring and say my favorite
sci fi movie of all time is Star Wars. A
lot of Star Wars love it, love it, love the
mythology of it, love the storytelling of it.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Loved Harrison Bord was my first crush it.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
And I'll tell you what that's crazy. Well, I wanted
to ask y'all. You said, the film is probably coming
out really soon. What what are y'all looking for? You're
gonna do any premieres or any like festivals or anything
like that.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
The showcase.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
We're going to certainly announce. We'll do all kinds of announcements.
Speaker 9 (26:56):
We'll certainly let the world know it's coming out, but
as far as we're be released first and when and
all that, well, something we'll announce definitely when we find
out we have all the information.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
