Mm

... for people to be drawn in, you know, us really connecting with the family's faces.

So if we, we can have ...

What's interesting about it is it allows you to, you know, we can have- We can hold a close-up of, of Anne, you know, in the foreground, and we can...

And then, you know, um, you know, her daughter, uh, u- um, Audrey, played by, you know, Maisy, is in the background.

And, um, and they're, they're, they're both sharp.

You can really, you really connect.

Mm

What does writing from that place unlock for you as a storyteller?

Hmm.

Um, well I guess, uh, to me they're, they're the things that we ... that are, that are interesting to me as a, as a writer, as a filmmaker, and also just as a viewer.

And, um, and, and sometimes the, um, the, the why is not always as, as interesting as, as, as what happens, as what it feels like to experience it.

So, um, I mean, I think it starts from, from that really.

It's about, um, uh, i- i- it's about allowing the audience to, to have, you know, to, to feel, to feel suspense, to feel joy, y- you know, the, the, for moments of humor and terror and all of these things.

Um, but, uh, you know, sometimes the, um, the expository nature, the, the, the why is, um, is just a little less interesting to me.

Well, this shirt.

So I, I guess, you know, we'd love to know for both of you, you know, when you're setting out on day one on a movie like this, what's something that you set out to accomplish? And by the end of your shoot, how do you both know that you're successful? And I love that we have the both, the two different perspectives here for that today.

Hmm.

Yeah.

Well, I'm trying to think how to answer.

I guess, um, production is, is, is its own thing in that, um, ideally you have a really strong plan.

You have your script, you have...

You know, we, we have like a, um, a, a really fantastic cast, so there's the, there's the, there's the sort of the, the, the comfort of knowing that you have, um, uh, so many talented people.

And we'd love to know, like, for you guys, like finding the look of the, the dinosaurs in this film and also just from a practicality standpoint, making it feel scary while filming it, we'd love if you could talk to us about how you actually achieved that while making the film.
