Timestamps 00:10 - I wanted to begin by discussing your style here - it’s quite and spare, that balance — 04:29 - I really like what you say about the notion of “time” - how you compress or extend time in a given scene… 06: 43 - …it was quite startling and stunning - how you moved away from realist after that first twenty minutes.. 07:55 - Do you think internal dialogue is something you want to continue working with in your next projects… 10:35 - In your last two examples….masculinity and futility of fulfilling traditional male role factor in heavily - curious why this is a theme you want to explore? 16:30 - … and masculinity appears to be a subset of aspects you cover in your other work (your short Last Days of August, etc..) - I’m curious about your idea of things gone by, things coming to an end, the end of certain ways of life… 23:04 - For the characters … it feels like this looming cataclysm on a global scale but for the viewerr it feels very personal - I'm curious what your own world view is... 26:45 - …I was interested win how you explore the typical American male in Joseph Chambers 35:15 - In Peter Debruge’s Variety review of your film…he compares you to Kelly Reichardt…which contemporaries do you draw inspiration from? *SPOILER WARNING* question about the ending 42:39 - Final question - proceed with caution!
