David Freyne

Hi, how are you?

So good to meet you.

I grew up loving, uh, like Billy Wilder was my idol.

So, um, and then like, I mean, 30 Rock and Parks and Rec and those just great iconic kind of TV comedies were, were, where you get such a high joke rate per minute, which I think we don't get very often.

So I always look to that.

And I think with Eternity, we wanted to make sure it was,

like laden down with jokes, just like joke after joke after joke.

Because I kind of, I miss really hard comedy.

And I think that like segwaying to Devine and my incredible cast, that just goes to say, you can write as good a script as you want, but that's the delivery.

That's the actors.

And, and, you know, some, some of the best dramatic actors in the world cannot land a joke.

And I think that holy grail.

You can't do it all.

Yeah.

So in the summer, like about six months ago, I had really bad headaches, which I had during the production as well.

Like I would work really hard and then collapse on the weekends.

But I got they found an apple sized tumor in my head that had kind of

kind of broken through my brain and surrounded my optic nerves and carotid arteries.

And like, it was, it was a really surreal, devastating thing to go through.

And at the start, they didn't know if it was going to be kind of operable or, or malignant or, and my, my immediate thoughts were like, I'm not going to get to see eternity released, which is such a vague thing to say, but you know, after so many years, but yeah,
