And when I got there, there was a woman called Arielle that I worked with. She went to AFI with me. She used to production design my shorts, actually. So it was really crazy being in a Nolan set with Arielle, who's assistant art directing, and my brothers on set. And they're shooting in this shipping container, so you can't really see anything. They're just like...
people in a box, and you kind of get this feeling that something's going to happen, and a monitor emerges, and I get to see some of the stuff that they're shooting. And I, like... Hoyta frames up the camera, and I see my brother doing something probably really mundane. It was like you were, like, opening, like, a door. It was, like, very, like, nothing was happening.
And he frames up, and I hear... I hear Chris Nolan say John David's name and gives him a note and I just burst into tears because it was like, whoa, this is like, it just hit me like a ton of bricks. Like this is, this is a kind of moment that we've been thinking, like when we, when we live together, we dreamed together too. You know, we talked about, we talked about wanting to
do stuff like that, you know, wanting to be in a movie like that. So when he, seeing that image and hearing those sounds and knowing that world and everything just kind of converged on itself in that moment. And I have, you know, somebody from my film school right next to me and she put her hand on me and was like, it's okay. And I was just like, this is like, this is too much.
It was just overwhelming. It was so overwhelming.
break down when we all kind of stand like after the scene we were all standing together I didn't know I didn't break down but you got embarrassed because so they shoot and they walk out they break for lunch and they all walk off the set and I like jump in front of Chris I'm like yo thank you
for your contribution because I'm like you know I love movies like I really love this stuff you know so the people that make movies that make me feel something or think about like they mean a lot to me like I feel like I owe them something you know and these films feel like they become yours as an audience member it's like that's my like that was my like I watched Phantom Thread and The Master I'm like you know these are my movies right
Right. So so when I see people like that, I tell them, I'm like, yo, thank you. Like, thank you. Thank you. Thank you for everything you've done. And I did that. But it was like not that moment. Everybody's at work. They're trying to get to lunch. And I look at John David just drops his head like dog. Like, no, man, I just not right now. Mr. Nolan's trying to get his ribs. Yeah.
They got ribs today, sir. What are you doing? He's like holding the monitor like, I appreciate it, man, but can you step out the way?
It was so funny. It was so funny. But he was gracious. Thank God.
Is the woman that made that suit was a costume designer on that film. Her name is Francine, Miss Francine. Miss Francine. Miss Francine was our costume designer on the piano lesson.
Yeah, so it was like a full circle moment.
You do some questionable things. You be barking.
What's the barking about? He just starts barking like crazy right before we start shooting. Like, right. Sound up. Camera roll.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Let the people know. Oh, boy. Just let them not know, okay?
I think that they just, like, they were so protective of themselves first and us as well. You know, like, they kept... They always just highlighted, like, keeping the noise outside. And I think that heat and desire that you're speaking of can be that noise, you know? And I think that we all just live very kind of meaningful private lives. And... I don't have that heat and desire in my DMs.
So I don't have to deal with it in the same way John David does as an actor and his face is out there all the time. But I think that they just... Aren't you on GQ?
It was a full beard. Yeah, the braids were braiding. But for real, I think it's just like the kind of focus and protection of your piece and yourself and not kind of getting swept up in all the other stuff.
We love our parents. We love both of them. And you know what saddens me sometimes about that is like, man, just like the role that mothers play, that black women play in our culture, that black mothers play, it's like such a crucial one. And they're often such an overlooked position sometimes. Like people don't give them their flowers. Yeah. Yeah, we're going to give our mom our flowers.
We love her. She's done so much for us.
