Once youre camped there, you get to know a neighborhood better.
We were way up on 156th and 157th and Riverside… Its such an exciting neighborhood.
Theres so much going on and its so diverse!
The limited time spent with her and also the urgency of the 24 hours.
What would it be like to receive that news and yet have so much unsolved in your life?
And how do you choose to spend what is in essence potentially your last day?
There was so much that was interesting and everything Ive never done before on screen or on stage.
Rufus Wainwright was with us from early on, too.
Common said yes literally two hours after we sent him the script.
We couldnt believe it.
Everybody [we asked] said yes.
It was the easiest casting Ive ever been witness to…
It was so joyful and engaging.
It was the coolest crew!
Thats averyNew York crew, too!And a lot of women!
All the producers were women, basically.
How did it feel spearheading a project driven by so many powerful women?It was exciting.
A lot of our experience as producers at Pretty Matches Productions is only [with] women.
So its not something thats an unusual mission of ours.
Im happy to report that were not jumping on the bandwagon, but were happy to continue our efforts.
Especially [with] women of color.
Thats just our nature and the way we choose to function and produce.
Im glad thats so important to you.
The story, too, is an interesting take on womanhood.
These are all emotions that lots of women feel across industries: mothers, girlfriends, friends.
To have an opportunity to experience so much of that onscreen in two hours or less is unusual.
Maybe thats why the experience was so fulfilling.
One of the other things that stuck out to me was your singing in this film.
We didnt have a lot of time to do it.
We were doing it after shooting all day, really late at night.
It made a difference, having a friendly face to stare at.
Sound whether its natural sounds of the city or your characters music plays a huge role in this film.
That is all Fabien.
Fabien knew so much about what he wanted to do visually and audibly…
It plays a wonderful role in the movie.
There are countless others experiencing that same diagnosis.
What does that mea?
How does it feel?
What do those next 24 hours look like?
What choices do you make?
Who do you find comfort with?
