This woman is flawed in a lot of ways
0:09
She gets to show wide array and spectrum of a woman who's not perfect, who's fallible
0:18
but who is really fighting to stay away from her pain and realizes that obviously we can't escape those things
0:30
that when we are amongst the Redwoods or nature in general, as quiet as it can be in the silence, we're actually never alone
0:39
And that really just speaks to me. And I think it will speak to our audiences because we have this need to feel that we're a part of something
0:51
and not alone these days. And I also feel like even more than people's love that they're
0:59
They will find for the Redwoods. They will feel really seen in their experiences that they've had with loss and whatever it is in their lives that have sort of brought them down and where they had to find themselves again
1:18
I play Becca, and my favorite thing about Becca is that she is a resilient, strong woman, and no one is really coming up against her
1:27
Yeah. I love how free and easy Finn is. for sure. And the fact that he is a teacher, yes, but he's also a forever student
1:35
And may we all be forever students people. Yes. Well, I'm playing Mel from Brooklyn
1:42
I have, this is like my seventh Brooklyn character. You do it well. You do it well
1:47
I mean I was used in Jersey It right across the bridge No but I love Mel because you know she from the 90s She old school She was in that creative hub in Fort Green of photographers and filmmakers
2:01
And I just love bringing everyday people to a larger platform. So it's exciting
2:08
And I'm playing Spencer, who is the son of Mel and Adina's character, Jesse
2:14
And you also see me as a couple other different people throughout Jesse's journey. But the thing that I love the most about Spencer is that he's clever
2:24
He loves music, but he exudes heart, which those are kind of the characters that I have
2:30
always loved to play, and to be able to create one from the ground up is literally a dream come true
2:35
So I'm getting ready to play Jesse, who is Edina's character. And she is amazingly complex and complicated and interesting and
2:47
and smart and creative and it's just an incredibly written character that I'm excited to dive into
2:55
I'm standing by for Spencer and he's a super passionate and ambitious kid
3:00
and with a lot of love to give to his family and he really just brings a lot of energy
3:04
and life into the room. I am so, so excited. I am standing by for Becca and Mel
3:10
and I cannot wait. Learning it all together with that. That's got to be so great
3:14
Yeah. I mean, I've always been a huge fan of Michael Park
3:20
And, you know, it's great to stand by for somebody who you respect so much
3:25
And, of course, Adina Manzell, we're, you know, absolute royalty. So it's a thrill
3:33
Yeah, I mean, you get to bring your own thing to it, but also learn as you go and see little gems of these people that you look up to in action right in front of you at work every day
3:44
So yeah, it's been a blast
