Anne, I thought your scenes where you're just like one-on-one with Matt or Tom or Rob
or something were the most powerful in the movie.
Thank you.
And then I read that you're holding these moments while they're reloading the IMAX cameras.
Yes.
Can you like walk me through that?
What is that like?
I can't even fathom how you like stay present.
Thank you, by the way.
Those are, that's an amazing thing to hear.
Um, I don't know how to, it's this crew.
Like it's, it's so nice of you to say like how do I hold it, but it was everybody.
You know, everybody stayed so, I don't know, on point with what they were doing.
This crew was so pro that everybody knew how to kind of get onto a wavelength.
And I remember turning to you at one point, um, maybe I have it on my mind,
but I remember we were doing a really emotionally intricate scene.
And I remember, and we were kind of getting more and more open with every take.
And I remember thinking, gosh, these rooms can, when you're acting in them,
they can often feel like a birthing suite.
Like, you know, like just a room where something is being born.
And so you don't want to speak too loudly.
And where else would you ever want to be?
It's a, it's a joy to be present in that.
It's not going to last forever.
You know, the day will end.
So, so yeah, so I just kind of went with it and tried not to,
and fought, suppressed every instinct I had to crack a joke.
I was going to say, how do you not break just in the silence?
Chris, Chris is a good reason not to break.
If he does, if he breaks, you can break, but not before him.
Thank you.
