Is it getting back on the horse? Whatever movie you were making you've never made this movie. So you're always a beginner wherever you are. Even if you've done, you know, 20 movies, whatever movies in front of use is is it country you've never been to yet. So you'll you'll have to figure it out. So much of what you do as a director actually happens before anyone gets there. I mean, it's the hours and I was in a meeting this with your crew and your department heads. Everybody was going to realize this dream and it's almost like you build out words in terms of them having everybody. See the thing you saw in your dream and then they'll bring their own dream to it and then deep in it and you and you say go. Well, that's that's exactly what I meant. But I wouldn't have known how to do that. You had the other part to it. So you kind of start building a larger and larger group who understands it and then by the time the actors get there. It's like you have a couple hundred people who are all seeing the thing that doesn't exist. And then that makes it easier for the actors to step into the reality because we've invested too much into it. You know, it is the ultimate collaborative art form. You don't have the whole movie Inside of You It's contained in all these people. So I suppose I try to be very open to people bringing what seems like outrageous ideas because that might be the very thing that you need. So whether it's attending one actor or notes at decorator or a dolly grip for anyone who says what you did it like this and I think that's right, you know, you don't want it to become a cacophony, but I think that there's a way to go when it's working well where you can guide every every idea so that you get the bet the best possible thing. It's great when it's when it's all working. I get very emotionally involved watching actors work and watching it come to life. Margo told me that I will make all the expressions of everyone. I didn't even realize I was doing it but I think I just kind of seems like a live vicariously through it. I think drifting away from really realize I'm doing it, but I've worked with some of the greatest actors, you know, I'm third-generation and there's nothing like watching and Ryan and Timothy and Florence Merrill Laurie Metcalf to think like that. CS Lewis Narnia books or something that I've loved since I was a child. I would have two big books of my childhood Little Women and the Narnia books. So I had that, you know instant excitement but instant are that comes from trying to tackle something that has shaped me. I think I'm trying to I mean small thing. I'm trying to make it magical. I want to make it feel like magic c.s. Lewis said that the goal of writing fantasy, you know something from his imagination that could say, let's say you wrote it for us. The goal would be that then every time you walk into a forest after you read it. You said yourself. Maybe this is an enchanted forest. So that's a tall order, but I guess re-enchantment of the world. No, no, no problem. I'm looking for has said this about writing. He said a lucky line here or there is that is the gift of chance. This is only the errors are my own and I feel like only the errors out on my own. There's almost no way to get everything right all the time. So, you know, you never feel like the mountains behind you. It's only ever thought of you little a little high but I don't know any other way to do it. I think there's some combination of like excitement and Terror that are it's a certain Feeling of a mistake vertigo when I know that's that's the thing. I want to try because it feels to feel that rush. I don't like roller coasters that much but it feels like a coaster. I've done them. I did them I do them sometimes emotionally. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Women of the Year | Greta Gerwig","description":"","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/3kDPmdxp/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2024-02-21T11:15:00.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/3kDPmdxp.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/3kDPmdxp/","duration":"PT5M41S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/3kDPmdxp/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
