10
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:34.240
<v Speaker 1>We talked with Matt Walsh yesterday about The Good Half,

00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:36.840
<v Speaker 1>and today we're going to talk to the director and

13
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:43.359
<v Speaker 1>he's been involved in a ton of stuff between directing

14
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:45.840
<v Speaker 1>and producing and acting. And he comes from like one

15
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:49.240
<v Speaker 1>of the most famous families ever, Uncle Francis Ford Coppola,

16
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:54.560
<v Speaker 1>cousin Nicholas Cage, cousin Sophia Coppola, brother Jason Schwartzman. I mean,

17
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:56.240
<v Speaker 1>this guy's got a lot of great stuff going on.

18
00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:59.479
<v Speaker 1>And again, there's a special showing of the film The

19
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:02.439
<v Speaker 1>Good Half tonight in theaters all around the country, but

20
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:04.159
<v Speaker 1>here in Sioux Falls as well, and you'll get a

21
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:06.560
<v Speaker 1>chance not only to see the movie, you could see

22
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:08.840
<v Speaker 1>an interview with Nick Jonas, who's in this movie, and

23
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:11.480
<v Speaker 1>an interview with Robert Schwartzman. And this looks like a

24
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:12.359
<v Speaker 1>darn good movie.

25
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:14.879
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for having me. I just want to say you

26
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:17.760
<v Speaker 2>mentioned Elizabeth. Shoot, Matt Walsh. I feel honored to be

27
00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:22.079
<v Speaker 2>the third guest. Okay, yeah, so no, it's great. It's

28
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:25.400
<v Speaker 2>great to be here talking about this home. Yeah, we

29
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:27.920
<v Speaker 2>we it's important to go to see movies in theaters.

30
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:32.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I we're all like, you know, like people

31
00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:35.920
<v Speaker 2>that stay home and not and ordered food and watch

32
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:39.920
<v Speaker 2>movies online or on the streaming platforms. But I just

33
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:42.439
<v Speaker 2>want to reiterate. I mean, I think there's a beauty to,

34
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:44.959
<v Speaker 2>you know, going out to see a sell on the

35
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:49.480
<v Speaker 2>big screen. It's very powerful to when the lights, you know,

36
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:51.879
<v Speaker 2>go off and you're in this room for this amount

37
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:55.920
<v Speaker 2>of time. But yeah, it's gonna be it's gonna We're

38
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:59.120
<v Speaker 2>lucky that we're playing all around the country all the screen,

39
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:01.280
<v Speaker 2>so I hope people come out see it. But you

40
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:03.680
<v Speaker 2>know that people get out and see it, and I

41
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.079
<v Speaker 2>love to hear from people. So if anyone sees it

42
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:10.159
<v Speaker 2>and likes it or whatever you feel would love you know,

43
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:13.280
<v Speaker 2>these you know, messages online sharing your thoughts, because I

44
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:16.159
<v Speaker 2>think that's part of the power of in the movie.

45
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:19.479
<v Speaker 2>It's this communal experience of sharing. So that's that's why

46
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:20.280
<v Speaker 2>we go to the theater.

47
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, and the thing that's fun when you go to

48
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:25.080
<v Speaker 1>the theater again, not only you have like way better

49
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:27.360
<v Speaker 1>popcorn than you make at home, but you get to

50
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:29.719
<v Speaker 1>watch this and experience this with a whole bunch of

51
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:31.840
<v Speaker 1>friends and a bunch of strangers too. But you get

52
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:34.159
<v Speaker 1>to be there and it's more of an experience than

53
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:36.120
<v Speaker 1>it is just sitting in the you know, the darkness

54
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:37.000
<v Speaker 1>of your own living room.

55
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:39.319
<v Speaker 2>Well, we know what it is too. That's really interesting

56
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:43.240
<v Speaker 2>about The Good Halfes is you know, this is a

57
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:46.199
<v Speaker 2>movie that deals with I mean, it's it's a movie

58
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:48.759
<v Speaker 2>you can laugh in and it's a movie you can

59
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:50.879
<v Speaker 2>cry in, and it's a movie that kind of takes

60
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:56.680
<v Speaker 2>you on this emotional rollercoaster. But you know, grief, you know,

61
00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:01.840
<v Speaker 2>is something we all experience. That that feeling like love,

62
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:06.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, is a universal experience. Grief is universal, and

63
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:09.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, you can be in a room with strangers,

64
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:12.280
<v Speaker 2>but you have similar feelings, right, We're all built with

65
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:15.360
<v Speaker 2>these emotions. So there's a sort of this movie in

66
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:18.199
<v Speaker 2>a way deals with subject matter that I think is

67
00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:23.080
<v Speaker 2>very sort of unifying or communal or relatable in emotion

68
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:25.639
<v Speaker 2>what it kind of brings out of you. So I

69
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:27.919
<v Speaker 2>find when we watch it in rooms it's great. I mean,

70
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:32.400
<v Speaker 2>like I feel it's screened to trybeca originally, and uh,

71
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:34.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, just to see it in a room with

72
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:36.759
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people was so amazing, like getting the

73
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:39.960
<v Speaker 2>laughs and getting you know, seeing someone next to me,

74
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:43.400
<v Speaker 2>like you know, cheering up at that moment. It kind

75
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:45.960
<v Speaker 2>of shows you the power of filmmaking. Yeah, if you're

76
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:48.759
<v Speaker 2>doing it right, you're bringing out of somebody some kind

77
00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:52.360
<v Speaker 2>of response emotionally, you know. So I just think with

78
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:54.360
<v Speaker 2>all it's funny, I was talking about it recently, but

79
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:57.360
<v Speaker 2>with all these big spectacles that we live in today,

80
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.680
<v Speaker 2>of these like IP comic book movies, Oh yeah, I

81
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:03.360
<v Speaker 2>think a balance. It's like a diet. It's like you

82
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:07.000
<v Speaker 2>have to have a balanced diet. Those movies represent, you know,

83
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:10.599
<v Speaker 2>probably something that really like triggers a response, similar to

84
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:13.879
<v Speaker 2>like eating a giant cake. But I think that like

85
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:18.079
<v Speaker 2>you have to balance yourself with something stimulating too. So

86
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:20.879
<v Speaker 2>as long as people are I think they're engaging with

87
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:24.120
<v Speaker 2>film in some level. I think as a filmmaker, that's

88
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:26.079
<v Speaker 2>all you can ask for, you know, to support your

89
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:27.079
<v Speaker 2>fellow filmmakers.

90
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:29.759
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely. Now the new film The Good Half, you got

91
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:32.160
<v Speaker 1>to be the director and the producer on this. But

92
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:34.279
<v Speaker 1>in addition to being a director and a producer on

93
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:37.360
<v Speaker 1>many projects, you're also an actor on some projects as well.

94
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:39.800
<v Speaker 1>I remember the Princess Diaries, and there's a big long

95
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:42.759
<v Speaker 1>list of others on here is it when you're on

96
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:45.240
<v Speaker 1>the set and you're an actor compared to being the

97
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:48.920
<v Speaker 1>producer or the director? How different is that for you personally?

98
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:50.720
<v Speaker 1>Is that that's got to be like wearing a completely

99
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:53.079
<v Speaker 1>different hat and like a whole different experience.

100
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:57.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's totally different. I mean there are ways that

101
00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:00.560
<v Speaker 2>it's really beneficial and then there are ways it can

102
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:06.480
<v Speaker 2>be very distracting. But I've produced films for other filmmakers.

103
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:09.720
<v Speaker 2>I do it really only if it's something I'm very

104
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:14.439
<v Speaker 2>much involved in on like a like a passionate creative level.

105
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:17.639
<v Speaker 2>I don't just casually produce stuff, you know, like as

106
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:22.600
<v Speaker 2>a job. So but I think what it is is,

107
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:26.199
<v Speaker 2>if you're directing a movie, you have to always make

108
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:29.600
<v Speaker 2>You're always given decisions to make right. Everyone's looking to

109
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:32.639
<v Speaker 2>you for the answers, whether it's is she wearing the scarf?

110
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:36.000
<v Speaker 2>Do you want the hair up? Or your town? Is

111
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:39.160
<v Speaker 2>this shade too dark? As a shade too light? Is

112
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:42.639
<v Speaker 2>this chair right? But you know so as a producer,

113
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:46.000
<v Speaker 2>you're dealing with a whole set of like circumstances every day.

114
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:48.279
<v Speaker 2>You have to have other people you can work on

115
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:51.199
<v Speaker 2>set to be able to answer those bigger logistical questions

116
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:53.759
<v Speaker 2>when you're answering these in the weeds, the little tiny

117
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:57.079
<v Speaker 2>questions of shaping the scene. So in that way, it

118
00:05:57.079 --> 00:06:00.959
<v Speaker 2>can be distracting, right if you have to deal with like, hey,

119
00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:03.519
<v Speaker 2>we can't find the driver of this truck. It's blocking

120
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:05.920
<v Speaker 2>the building, this is where you wanted to shoot. Sorry,

121
00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:08.519
<v Speaker 2>no one coned off the street in the morning. Those

122
00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:11.160
<v Speaker 2>are little things. Okay, let's change, let's shoot it over here.

123
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:15.720
<v Speaker 2>But I think as a director, knowing production, you have

124
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:20.600
<v Speaker 2>there's a sensitivity to how we problem solved because you

125
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:22.879
<v Speaker 2>know what the problems are in real time, or you

126
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:24.560
<v Speaker 2>know what they were last week, so you know how

127
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:26.600
<v Speaker 2>to get in front of us. That's a great benefit.

128
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:30.079
<v Speaker 2>And I think directing is problem solving people, you know,

129
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:32.279
<v Speaker 2>whether it's just on the small level of an actor

130
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:35.800
<v Speaker 2>doesn't want to say the line, or a bigger level

131
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:38.800
<v Speaker 2>of we lost the location. So yeah, I don't know.

132
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:41.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm just I really like. My dad was a movie producer.

133
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:44.759
<v Speaker 2>I I kind of I got to watch you know,

134
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:47.079
<v Speaker 2>him kind of work up until a point in my

135
00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:48.720
<v Speaker 2>life where he passed away. And that's sort of what

136
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:52.759
<v Speaker 2>the good half for me was. I know what, you know,

137
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:55.439
<v Speaker 2>my father passed away so when I was young, so

138
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:57.560
<v Speaker 2>I kind of have my own experience with loss and

139
00:06:57.639 --> 00:06:59.839
<v Speaker 2>grief and what it means to kind of go through this.

140
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:04.240
<v Speaker 2>I found that in this movie in directing it. And

141
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:08.439
<v Speaker 2>then there's movies that I produce only where I just

142
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:11.399
<v Speaker 2>want to direct it because I'm like, you know, you

143
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:14.399
<v Speaker 2>not want to step in, but I just want to

144
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:17.040
<v Speaker 2>be able to inspire the director to think a little

145
00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:20.000
<v Speaker 2>bit outside the box when it comes to how to

146
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:23.120
<v Speaker 2>get through this problem. So it's a balance. Oh sorry,

147
00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:27.360
<v Speaker 2>my kids are waking up. You may hear screaming, but anyway, Yeah,

148
00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:31.160
<v Speaker 2>it's a balance of how you get through it and

149
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:33.560
<v Speaker 2>find you know, make sure you can always keep your
