From your perspective for actors, what, [laughs] what is a real thing that would help them, and what is sort of more in that myth category? Like, what, what is actually important?
16:10
I think the myth category, 'cause, you know, Jenny and I have just been teaching some workshops lately, and I find the sa- people say the same thing every time in the workshops, which is, "You know, I know you guys only watch five seconds of the, the tape." And that is so bizarre to me.
16:22
I don't know who's saying that.
16:24
Is it possible that when we pass it on to our team that they only watch four seconds? 'Cause they know exactly what they're looking for.
16:29
So maybe right away they're like, "That guy doesn't look like the brother of that other guy.
16:32
So, so I'm out or whatever." But we watch everything in full.
16:36
We, we ask for auditions because we want to watch them because we are interested to see the choices that the actors make, otherwise we would not be asking for them.
20:37
In a bad way.
