So how did this book and how did this project make its way to you?

Amblin meaning?

Yes.

So what about the book when you read it made you feel like you were the right person to do it?

Were there details in the novel that really spoke to you?

I mean, there's also an external landscape in the film that is so vivid.

And you're a filmmaker who shoots the natural world beautifully.

Anyone who's seen your first three features were all or in part set in the American West and South Dakota specifically.

Hamnet is set in Elizabethan England and you shot in Wales and...

Her for sure.

I'm curious about what you got from that very different kind of natural landscape as you were thinking about the film.

So one of your main characters is William Shakespeare.

I know.

The William Shakespeare, played beautifully by Paul Meskel.

And, you know, this is not the witty, hyper-verbal Shakespeare of Shakespeare love.

He's actually a man of pretty few words.

He's brooding.

He's frustrated.
