It's 35 00:03:20,91 --> 00:03:25,96 not as nothing is as waiting. It's actually has to do with with training and 36 00:03:25,97 --> 00:03:30,05 experience and things like that and and I studied every method out there right and 37 00:03:30,06 --> 00:03:33,39 then years of this in years that I worked with with 38 00:03:33,40 --> 00:03:39,06 a coach named Mike Michael Haber you know 56 years ago and Margie was just kind of 39 00:03:39,41 --> 00:03:44,32 the turning point in my life where I started just really living my characters and 40 00:03:44,83 --> 00:03:49,84 I've literally been been working ever since that I haven't auditioned sense that I 41 00:03:49,85 --> 00:03:53,97 have projects to me it is more difficult you know it takes 42 00:03:53,98 --> 00:03:57,97 a toll on you it's emotionally draining into the ring and everything else but it's 43 00:03:58,23 --> 00:04:02,55 so much fun and Excel exciting so I think that any time that you know people that 44 00:04:02,56 --> 00:04:07,12 are in our industry do have roles you need to stop and look at yourself and say OK 45 00:04:07,13 --> 00:04:10,62 what do I need to do you need to constantly be training to be constantly having 46 00:04:10,63 --> 00:04:15,80 life experiences and constantly studying people and characters and you know I work 47 00:04:16,14 --> 00:04:20,36 I think I work 100 times more than most people in my industry I just really really 48 00:04:20,37 --> 00:04:25,60 really develop my characters and you know really really learn my lines long before 49 00:04:25,61 --> 00:04:27,12 I develop my character so that when 50 00:04:27,42 --> 00:04:30,89 a character is talking it's it's it's really the character that talking it's not me 51 00:04:30,90 --> 00:04:34,29 trying to remember anything it just kind of comes naturally at that point and so I 52 00:04:34,30 --> 00:04:38,90 think that's the difference are let's talk about Road Warrior Robot Fighter and 53 00:04:38,91 --> 00:04:44,93 talk us about talk to us about the film and your character. It's 54 00:04:44,94 --> 00:04:49,33 a science fiction film which is my favorite genre and then we actually have opening 55 00:04:49,34 --> 00:04:52,55 night tonight and I'm in Los Angeles and it's 56 00:04:52,56 --> 00:04:57,46 a science fiction that depicts the you know it's in the distant future it depicts 57 00:04:57,47 --> 00:05:02,06 the overthrow of humanity by artificial intelligence on multiple worlds not just 58 00:05:02,10 --> 00:05:03,92 Earth so there's a lot of traveling there's 59 00:05:03,93 --> 00:05:09,46 a lot of you know and it's really about find that weapon that will. Be overtaken 60 00:05:09,47 --> 00:05:11,06 humanity and it's 61 00:05:11,07 --> 00:05:14,88 a very physical movie it's very it's very action to talk to but it's also very 62 00:05:14,89 --> 00:05:19,90 character driven science fiction which we don't see a lot of that kind of 63 00:05:19,91 --> 00:05:24,71 a heavy drama set in such as self discovery set inside of an action based science 64 00:05:24,72 --> 00:05:31,45 fiction so. Interesting Peter question for Tracy. You know 65 00:05:31,90 --> 00:05:36,85 well I just wish him a little bit of the youth of being here there's 66 00:05:36,86 --> 00:05:39,67 a better go to and I was 67 00:05:39,68 --> 00:05:45,55 a blind movie reviewer here so I just been interested in all movie you know and 68 00:05:45,81 --> 00:05:50,36 even before that there's always but there this is probably 69 00:05:50,37 --> 00:05:56,41 a little bit of that coming out of. Your standpoint is I'm kind of you know I heard 70 00:05:56,42 --> 00:06:00,13 this the kind of the premise of the story before you know like humanity gets taken 71 00:06:00,14 --> 00:06:00,56 over by 72 00:06:00,57 --> 00:06:06,46 a I like what it is like what are some things that are like basically taking the 73 00:06:06,62 --> 00:06:11,97 taking and then we kind of breaking the mold so to speak of previous proto 74 00:06:12,07 --> 00:06:16,16 predecessors. You know and you know to start off from 75 00:06:16,17 --> 00:06:19,99 a character standpoint you know people are always like comparing you know my 76 00:06:20,00 --> 00:06:25,05 character to this you know act action science fiction person that one I try to 77 00:06:25,06 --> 00:06:29,33 create somebody new somebody different somebody that wasn't really based upon any 78 00:06:29,34 --> 00:06:33,49 of those other things she's you know and so I think that's one of the things that 79 00:06:33,50 --> 00:06:38,28 initially set to that differently is I didn't try to be like anybody else they 80 00:06:38,29 --> 00:06:42,79 tried to make the character stand on its own and you know when we're dealing in 81 00:06:42,80 --> 00:06:46,20 a world right now where everybody works the cell phone in front of their face and 82 00:06:46,21 --> 00:06:50,56 every you know we're learning to trust AI and the difference is this isn't this 83 00:06:50,57 --> 00:06:54,87 isn't just robots you know it's actually artificial intelligence that permeates not 84 00:06:54,88 --> 00:07:01,52 just mankind but even. I called mutation of mankind and artificial intelligence 85 00:07:02,07 --> 00:07:07,42 and so much of this film is practical there's very little green screen in it and 86 00:07:07,46 --> 00:07:12,17 that's so that you can get lost in that journey in Lost in that world and I think 87 00:07:12,18 --> 00:07:15,08 it's very different than anything else that I think it's something that people will 88 00:07:15,09 --> 00:07:20,29 compare their films to just because it is because it is different you really had to 89 00:07:20,58 --> 00:07:25,95 continue to train yourself for the action scenes in this film is that correct Tracy 90 00:07:25,95 --> 00:07:32,21 . Oh my gosh. But it is actually brutal physical activity 91 00:07:32,62 --> 00:07:37,40 and I didn't really anticipate it being I'm an actress but I had an action action 92 00:07:37,41 --> 00:07:41,66 before but I was a tomboy growing up and I am a bit of 93 00:07:41,67 --> 00:07:46,23 a gym rat so I felt like I was prepared for it and I'll tell you silly mistake that 94 00:07:46,24 --> 00:07:50,07 I made and that is I'm used to you know doing scenes over and over and over for the 95 00:07:50,08 --> 00:07:54,32 angle of the aerials of the SET ME I think it never once occurred to me that I was 96 00:07:54,33 --> 00:07:58,99 going to have to run down those few 100 foot sand dunes 10 times in 97 00:07:59,00 --> 00:08:04,16 a row never wired to me I just thought oh coverage doubt of that or that I'm used 98 00:08:04,17 --> 00:08:08,26 to doing it in you know the talky scenes and stuff like that but that was brutal 99 00:08:08,49 --> 00:08:11,46 you know and it's like the injuries like when you see the character get injured I 100 00:08:11,47 --> 00:08:14,95 just brought my injury to work with me what he had to do you know my character's 101 00:08:15,63 --> 00:08:20,61 a little more worn down uncertainties and other than that you know that's real and 102 00:08:20,62 --> 00:08:25,06 you know there's there was there was many many days where there was bloodshed on 103 00:08:25,07 --> 00:08:30,91 this thing and it and it you know it just. And I was like like Seems like you know 104 00:08:30,92 --> 00:08:34,44 you're running down these mountains and you having these brutal battles and you 105 00:08:34,45 --> 00:08:37,81 know there was this one time when I got 15 feet down the hill and I'm sponsored by 106 00:08:37,82 --> 00:08:43,14 new rocks I think Chunky because heels on and I fall down at this particular point 107 00:08:43,15 --> 00:08:46,76 I get down to the bottom the director shaking his head and then in the eyes like 108 00:08:47,03 --> 00:08:53,75 you fell down like maybe you know 50 feet too soon I'm like I fell. But 109 00:08:54,02 --> 00:08:57,81 I guess I didn't continue on with the scene as you can exactly stop and walk back 110 00:08:57,82 --> 00:09:01,93 up and you know but those are the things I didn't take into consideration that it 111 00:09:01,94 --> 00:09:05,41 pushed it pushed me physically to an extreme that I wasn't used to being pushed to 112 00:09:05,42 --> 00:09:10,63 and I have to say I enjoyed it that's fantastic and do you expect to do more side 5 113 00:09:10,64 --> 00:09:15,50 movies after this especially with the feedback when you actually did another one 114 00:09:15,54 --> 00:09:20,65 you know that absolutely we have the time more than post right now and that's 115 00:09:20,66 --> 00:09:24,69 actually Adolf Hitler traveling through time in order to rewrite history Wow my 116 00:09:24,70 --> 00:09:31,59 character had oh yeah it's really dark. But I like you know 117 00:09:31,60 --> 00:09:36,02 I can I like drama in science fiction I think that it's really interesting because 118 00:09:36,41 --> 00:09:40,23 I grew up watching Star Trek and Star Wars and Logan's right now these other things 119 00:09:40,24 --> 00:09:44,50 and I love that show on that but to be able to bring the deep storylines and 120 00:09:44,51 --> 00:09:47,20 develop deep characters in it I just think that it's 121 00:09:47,21 --> 00:09:51,27 a fantastic place to play and frankly I think you've also got 122 00:09:51,28 --> 00:09:55,30 a God hater I'm sorry. Sorry that's 123 00:09:55,31 --> 00:10:02,23 a bit I was just thinking. I'm always interested in like learning characters wise 124 00:10:02,77 --> 00:10:08,20 and learning about the stories for the movie because you know if it's humans with 125 00:10:08,21 --> 00:10:14,98 an AI How did how did you guys designate what I guess human reactions 126 00:10:14,99 --> 00:10:21,66 were.

A 186 00:15:00,13 --> 00:15:02,04 LIKE A So life story like 187 00:15:02,05 --> 00:15:08,86 a memoir. I think from the playing field myself. The main battle factors are her 188 00:15:08,90 --> 00:15:10,63 present her parents and also as 189 00:15:10,64 --> 00:15:16,51 a person that sort of which age. I guess is one of the big numbers for now 190 00:15:18,16 --> 00:15:23,16 absolutely I'm going to it was written purely Terran to inspire. 191 00:15:25,52 --> 00:15:29,49 I get sick to read the book you'll want to find out why people have been clamoring 192 00:15:29,50 --> 00:15:36,29 to me to to write a book for a long time. And finally I think I have I don't see 193 00:15:36,30 --> 00:15:42,18 a day things elementis about that part that I just feel got I can did I feel it 194 00:15:42,25 --> 00:15:43,77 very 1st there's 195 00:15:43,78 --> 00:15:50,38 a nakedness about it that I felt compelled to. Present myself as far as the Little 196 00:15:50,65 --> 00:15:54,76 Rock I wonder when creating 197 00:15:54,77 --> 00:15:58,60 a book and I'm kind of having that artistic side as well because this is something 198 00:15:58,61 --> 00:16:05,31 that I think that I write about experiences at times and I don't I'm that there are 199 00:16:05,32 --> 00:16:08,65 just times that you can't describe something in 200 00:16:08,66 --> 00:16:12,20 a word format that you actually have to put into a morsel of 201 00:16:12,21 --> 00:16:17,08 a visual art to speak format and in my mind when you're creating the book did you 202 00:16:17,09 --> 00:16:21,30 ever run into that where you like you know I'm not sure how to put this in here so 203 00:16:21,31 --> 00:16:24,24 maybe I'll create something visual maybe as 204 00:16:24,25 --> 00:16:29,21 a compensation it's just something I've always done at least when I want can't 205 00:16:29,22 --> 00:16:30,85 figure out or say something I would make 206 00:16:30,86 --> 00:16:36,96 a visual reprise is how I feel in this. Yes there is no so saying right I guess I 207 00:16:36,97 --> 00:16:42,39 have learned right correct over the year that not everyone has their. Alfred's 208 00:16:42,40 --> 00:16:49,16 propensity for think abstractly and. I sort of reverse that work 209 00:16:49,17 --> 00:16:52,83 are I feel this to myself much of my work research 210 00:16:52,84 --> 00:16:56,18 a commentary very very often done from 211 00:16:56,19 --> 00:17:01,91 a pointer to this benefits representational there is something abstract about its 212 00:17:02,01 --> 00:17:07,53 meaning and in writing well which is sort of like picking the same person and 213 00:17:07,54 --> 00:17:14,15 saying why the thing there and there are particular thing so maybe anyone can 214 00:17:14,16 --> 00:17:20,61 understand it and relate to it. If that makes sense. Definitely And 215 00:17:20,98 --> 00:17:25,97 how do you want to educate people on an art do you think tell me what is 216 00:17:25,98 --> 00:17:30,59 a mission for you well I can't for people to understand that are you know primarily 217 00:17:30,60 --> 00:17:35,75 visual artists not as much the ones you know the other types of artists the author 218 00:17:35,79 --> 00:17:40,49 you're an author as well but many author or filmmaker certainly How do you want to 219 00:17:40,58 --> 00:17:46,02 for that art John write. In terms of my painting. 220 00:17:47,61 --> 00:17:52,15 Little high interest in my painting I've just learned that it's really about 221 00:17:52,16 --> 00:17:58,68 metaphor and ask questions I teach the fashion wiser course to chair or. I could 222 00:17:58,69 --> 00:18:05,52 have her students or students are doing really. In terms of. Presenting 223 00:18:05,53 --> 00:18:07,78 something that Secretary patient could look at 224 00:18:07,79 --> 00:18:13,61 a photograph but yet the president really move you and so I taught how to find 225 00:18:13,62 --> 00:18:19,20 metaphor and interact and to learn and so I I think there's 226 00:18:19,21 --> 00:18:23,72 a part of the field working as an artist who has it so we just think I said and 227 00:18:23,73 --> 00:18:27,64 this is the strength both sides of the brain which lets people think what all might 228 00:18:27,65 --> 00:18:33,08 bring but I think the truly genius artist in my experience has been one that can do 229 00:18:33,09 --> 00:18:39,60 that practical work and then saw so the motion to bring the true things together 230 00:18:39,93 --> 00:18:46,16 that is challenge for an artist Yes definitely. The green 231 00:18:47,33 --> 00:18:53,97 I definitely agree with that and something that. The Lord your passion 232 00:18:53,98 --> 00:18:59,88 Tony right they're able to learn your passion from you what you put out an art 233 00:18:59,92 --> 00:19:06,69 right. I think style Yeah you know always and you know I enjoy instructing 234 00:19:06,70 --> 00:19:08,38 others and you know it's working from 235 00:19:08,39 --> 00:19:14,48 a challenging structural situation teaching art but I think the challenge is always 236 00:19:14,49 --> 00:19:21,23 to myself you know. Not being professionally trained at all 1st designing offspring 237 00:19:21,23 --> 00:19:27,77 . Somehow that one think it starts acting. Out which I find interesting 238 00:19:28,29 --> 00:19:32,26 so you need to know right in an abstract tract way through the cow 239 00:19:32,27 --> 00:19:37,87 a tree you know. Then again your staff are using metaphor. 240 00:19:39,52 --> 00:19:44,59 I found this finding the metaphors and why. We narrow and then 241 00:19:44,60 --> 00:19:50,77 a 4th are something for sensitivity to. You know it's sort of like 242 00:19:50,78 --> 00:19:57,52 a validation and. Yeah. Something you might 243 00:19:57,53 --> 00:20:02,18 find interesting too that his eyes would begin to look I did see what you did do 244 00:20:02,19 --> 00:20:06,35 you do so worked with something that you have find interesting or like Currently 245 00:20:06,36 --> 00:20:07,56 I'm working on 246 00:20:07,68 --> 00:20:12,92 a piece of print here in Cedar Minnesota I already did one previously but this one 247 00:20:13,78 --> 00:20:19,14 I knew him completely visually because of my disability of blindness and what I'm 248 00:20:19,15 --> 00:20:23,93 doing to kind of designate those self portrait is I translate it to black and white 249 00:20:24,20 --> 00:20:29,04 for not getting an idea of what the person's face looks like and then analyzing it 250 00:20:29,05 --> 00:20:34,81 with colors. Based upon that and then implement my own aspect into it afterwards. 251 00:20:36,71 --> 00:20:41,88 But instead of being an interesting thing to know about this there is you know some 252 00:20:42,64 --> 00:20:46,32 are to something that are doing actual portraits visually that you might find 253 00:20:46,44 --> 00:20:53,20 Tristan I wear Oh I know I well I often wonder am able to experience life when 254 00:20:53,21 --> 00:20:55,09 you're on the air they have 255 00:20:55,10 --> 00:21:01,33 a visual impairment I mean I agree about that. Yeah I have 256 00:21:01,94 --> 00:21:07,12 very little vision acuity but I can still distinguish black white and and likeness 257 00:21:07,13 --> 00:21:12,35 but as to my are purely nouns visual using something readers R.G.B. 258 00:21:12,36 --> 00:21:18,89 Color as well as.

I don't think that I would 357 00:29:35,58 --> 00:29:38,29 have pursued it because I don't think I would have had as clear 358 00:29:38,30 --> 00:29:43,31 a picture of what was available to me in this industry unless I had come here and 359 00:29:43,32 --> 00:29:47,95 gotten that firsthand experience prior to having made the decisions that you have 360 00:29:47,96 --> 00:29:51,80 to make whenever your friends are waiting from high school opportunity really only 361 00:29:51,81 --> 00:29:53,24 comes to people who establish 362 00:29:53,25 --> 00:29:57,52 a lifestyle to seize it. And this is the kind of place where you can seize an 363 00:29:57,53 --> 00:30:00,03 opportunity and change why.
