Wow.
23:30
Everyone else had a traumatic birth experience.
23:34
Wow.
23:34
And I think that that's because we don't educate women, but we also don't educate doctors.
23:41
Because there's, you know, huge pushes now, especially in the U.S. for C-sections and in order to like turn through women as much as possible.
23:54
And that's something where it's like they they say, you know, like that is one of the hardest surgeries to ever, you know, do.
24:03
recover from yeah and then also you're now um have this child and not sleeping so you you're you know it's like the it it like i said before like that in itself is a horror movie and i'm actually surprised that that hasn't fully come out yet because i feel i feel like especially there there are um There's actual, like, recorded doctors who primarily do C-sections.
26:59
Wow.
6:20
Tell our audience a little bit about the film, a little bit of background about the film before we get into the nitty gritty of it.
6:27
Yeah, so it's about a woman who's on a really important job interview and glitter starts pouring out of her body and she doesn't know what's going on.
6:35
And it's actually based on a miscarriage that I had while on a Zoom call with a manager.
6:42
And I stayed on the Zoom call the entire time because I...
6:49
In the moment, I always like to give this little preface to the fact that at that point, I knew that the pregnancy wasn't viable for a few months, actually, at that point.
7:00
We found out the baby wasn't viable.
7:03
I went through multiple rounds of medication to try and miscarry naturally.

9 MINS LATER

16:30
he didn't want to be married to me anymore.
6:38
Was there ever any consideration to trying to cast someone else to play this character, or was it always kind of you have to play this character as, as part of that, you know, that pr- healing process for yourself?
6:49
Yeah, I mean, it, not just healing process.
6:52
In fact, it's actually been...
6:55
It's interesting because I've been, I've been collecting miscarriage stories as part of this and sharing them on our Instagram and on our website, and so people are sharing their stories.
7:05
And because of that, I'm also kind of getting ingrained into miscarriage Instagram accounts, and I feel like I've actually been mourning the loss of that baby more now, years later, because of being ingrained in this miscarriage Instagram world than I did at the time.
7:27
Again, because there was that celebratory like, "Yes, okay, so I can get pregnant.
7:32
Great." And then, you know, I was able to get pregnant a few months later.

11 MINS LATER

Well, I have a couple of questions not specifically related to the film, but before I move on, is there anything else you wanna touch on about Glitterbomb?
