Jocelyn ChuggGUEST

27:17

I mean, w- it was a really interesting process because for one, Dallas and I are both union actors, so we have to go the union route, um, which means you need the daily actor's insurance.

Jocelyn ChuggGUEST

27:30

And so to reach out to ACTRA and, and I mean, typically when it's an, a international product, production that's shooting in both, it's gonna be like a feature film with like a huge budget.

Jocelyn ChuggGUEST

27:42

And so to come up to them and be like, "Yeah, it's like one day in Calgary and one day in Amsterdam," and they were like, "Okay," w- like they didn't even really know how we could go about it.

Jocelyn ChuggGUEST

27:52

SIDEBORG FRIDAY: TILLY NORWOOD

But I...

Matt BrownHOST

And, and at the time, the British acting union Equity and the Canadian acting union ACTRA, uh, condemned Tilly Norwood.

Matt BrownHOST

6:29

So at the time after that criticism, uh, Van de Velden released a statement saying that Norwood was, quote, "Not a replacement for a human being, but a creative work." Now, this sort of flies in the face a little bit of what, what she said at the beginning of the project.

Matt BrownHOST

6:46

She said audiences were more interested in a film's story than whether its actors were real.
