But how did you actually get into this? Because you were in HR for 17 years.

So when my son was younger, he was diagnosed with leukemia.

And going through that treatment, there's a lot.

There's three years of treatment, or back then it was three years of treatment for boys.

And during that time, you don't sleep.

So you're switched on 24-7.

And when I came out the other side of that and everyone thinks that you can, yay, it's all good.

and um as we wrap up Can you give me three tips for busy, high achieving women to take into account when they're trying to get off to sleep, whether they're on the road or in a different time zone? What say three tips that they can do to help them get a good night's rest?

It took a year to find someone to distribute Memento, but audiences found amnesia unforgettable, and the so-called confusing screenplay was nominated for an Oscar.

Every no that he got just confirmed for him even more that he wanted to do this.

I, I cannot imagine Chris if he wasn't making films, and outside of, you know, family, which is probably the most important thing to him, no, genuinely the most important thing to him, it's horrifying to think how frustrated he would be if he wasn't able to tell stories via the medium of film.

I think he's-- they've been talking about sixty days, um, not forty-five.

Do you agree of things like that, that people should start doing?

It's a very, very paradoxical tale, and that's the kind of material that I'm always interested in, in trying to bring the audience to an understanding of why people have done the things they've done, whilst at the same time asking the question, should they have done the things they've done?

And, you know, for me, growing up in the '80s, it was, it was something that we were very aware of.

We'll do the light.

Our prop makers, our construction team, art department, our grips, electrics, they were working on top of each other.

As a wall went up, the electricians would start lighting it.
