MARK WEBBER ACTOR INTERVIEW MOVIE

I'll have people come up to me and say, 'I love that movie.' To me, as a filmmaker, all I see are its flaws.

MARK WEBBER ACTOR INTERVIEW MOVIE

The beautiful thing about making movies is that the movie still speaks to a lot of people. There's still things that I really love about my first film. It had a huge cast and there were all these interconnecting stories and it was a little overly ambitious. I shot my first film on 35mm and old Panavision cameras. I had made a bunch of films as an actor and had worked with a bunch of incredible directors and I thought, 'I really know what I'm doing here!' I was really overly ambitious. This is your second film as a director what did you learn on your first one that carried over here?My first film, when I went into it, I was younger. So, yeah! Minus Michael with a handgun and kind of being a little obnoxious - and Michael, in reality, is the sweetest guy in the world - it was pretty much like, 'OK, here's a normal little get together.' We'll get together and play running charades or Celebrity or Scattergories. Amongst me and that group of friends, there's probably three or four major game nights that happen. First and foremost, we love each other and want to support each other.

Everyone who was there in that room that night came for a reason. You know a lot of them from prior projects, but do you all hang out? Is that the reality - minus Cera acting like a complete jerk, as he does in the film?It is! What's really cool is that you get lucky every now and then by working with people who are really like-minded and awesome and you develop pretty strong friendships and bonds with them. Patrice is such a lovely great man and a father himself that everyone around was just fun to be around anyway.ĭuring a key scene, your character goes to a party at Michael Cera's house, and people like Aubrey Plaza, Jake Johnson and Alia Shawkat are in attendance too.

At about 2:30, after Isaac had his nap, we'll have another 25 minutes there.' Isaac was never working. It was like, 'All right, everyone go home! Come back tomorrow, after naps. We would shoot for 15, 20 minutes at a time with Isaac, and on days where it was just Isaac, that was our day. Which made it that much harder to make this movie, just because it wasn't traditional in any sense. It was easy for me to convince her because she knew I would only do this if I knew it wouldn't be harmful to Isaac.

We have a really great friendship and we co-parent in a really beautiful and creative way. His well-being and his safety is paramount in both our lives. First and foremost, nothing matters more to us in this entire world than our child. Isaac's mother plays a small role in the film, so she was on board with this, but was it difficult to convince her that Isaac could handle such a big role?Yeah.
