[00:00:00]Hi, I'm Cameron Cheats with Queerty.

[00:00:01]How's it going? Going good. How are you?

[00:00:03]Great. I'm so excited to talk to you two about this film. It's completely terrifying and you're both are brilliant in it. I feel like your performances are really the special effects here and I love how much else is done with lighting, with makeup, with practical effects. Without giving too many specifics away, Yeah. I'm curious what you think is maybe like the strangest thing you had to do on set to get the shot.

[00:00:25]These looks are telling me something.

[00:00:27]>> I mean, we're making an indie movie, so we were crammed up in all kinds of strange >> within these looks. It's like you're talking about that one or I mean, I don't even know.

[00:00:35]I mean, [laughter] what's the Okay, so his question is the strangest. I'm trying not to spoil. There's a a a body a body in the film.

[00:00:44]That's a spoiler? A body? That's a Come on. That's in blood in the trailer.

[00:00:48]People know it's a horror movie. There's a body and there's a there's I spend a lot of time I spent a lot of time with that body one day and once I was minding my own business like looking for gum or something and I looked over and it just blood just went like unprompted and that that freaked me out a little bit. So, that was that was a bit strange. Yeah, that was [laughter] pretty creepy. I didn't know about that.

[00:01:16]I threw up in this movie and one time the tape got disconnected cuz obviously there's liquids. I can't I gag every single time I tell this story, but it shot into my mouth.

[00:01:27]>> In mine.

[00:01:28]And it was that was a strange day. That was a strange day. That was a strange day. I forgot about that. See, I totally forgot. The oatmeal. It was like oatmeal and like I'm sorry, I can't even talk about it.

[00:01:37]>> Oh, I love hearing about that though.

[00:01:39]Oatmeal, that makes sense. That's how you get the consistency.

[00:01:42]>> ingredient.

[00:01:42]>> [laughter] >> Again, I love this film so much and it all starts with this very like classic be careful what you wish for cautionary tale. Have either of you looking at relationships in a new way or is there maybe something you hope audiences might learn from it? You know, aside from the fact that like even the nice straight guys can be scary sometimes. Yeah, I think desire I think love yourself first that way you can love another person and I but also at the same time give yourself grace cuz we don't know other people's dynamics but also take it slow.

[00:02:09]Take it slow. I mean I think I think I went into this I really related with a lot of this not not I'm not like Bear, okay? No, nothing [clears throat] like Bear. But you know, I think dating especially in early dating if you are just like so head over heels about someone that is a sign that you need to slow down. Because it's it's limerence. It's you know, you're projecting this idea of what someone could be for you. And that doesn't mean that it might not work out with them but you got to take some time to see if your values actually line up and if you're actually good together, right? So that's what I think. I think if this is the extreme of the most extreme version at a 10 out of 10 but you know, there is something to look at with the the whole I see so many comments where it's our diner scene that they posted where it's like been there done that and I was like wait on which side? Yeah, yeah, that's true.

[00:03:03]Yeah, right. I think a lot of folks are going to be seeing scenes in this and again though with Titan being like oh my god and and kind of looking at themselves and past relationships in a different light for us. so many conversations that it's wonderful. Yeah, definitely. Tell me a little bit about what helped bond the two of you when you first got to set. What are some things that you connected over? We connected like right away. Right away. We're two very different people. We like very different things but I just think fundamentally we both really love the project.

[00:03:29]>> Yeah. And we're really excited about it and the best that we could do and like how could I help you? How could he help me? We just wanted to be each other's biggest advocates and I think when you have that foundation you just feel safe and free and so then obviously a friendship is going to flourish >> Yep.

[00:03:42]from that. There was just this like chemistry respect love for the project. It really was it really was kind of electric when we met and that cuz I it was a chemistry read with a few others. I mean, I don't know about how many bears you read with, but I think I read with like three other girls and they were all fantastic actresses, but there was something really special with and you were the last one and I just remember I forgot everything else. I was like, "Whoa." The and the scene came out so differently.

[00:04:11]>> was not I wasn't expecting it. We we create it was a whole new energy and yeah. It did it. It did it.

[00:04:17]You guys crushed.

[00:04:18]>> [laughter] >> Thank you. Well, I have to wrap there.

[00:04:20]Thank you. I can't wait for everyone to see it so I can finally talk about this with people.

[00:04:24]Thank you. Have a good one. Bye-bye.
