Paul Walter Hauser

We're not going to get along.

And that's its own trauma damage of my own because then we did get along.

Um, so I don't know what that is, but I have that thing too with like, I'm, I'm more apt to believe that Michael Shannon would get me and like me than Brad Pitt, you know?

That make sense?

Yeah, yeah.

I love this little triumvirate here.

I would come back anytime.

Are you kidding me?

Yeah, I already have scripts I've written that I want to direct.

And I got into producing in part to learn the trade and learn how movies get made behind the scenes.

And that can be deeply frustrating, but also rewarding and fun.

It depends.

I think...

I've learned that as a producer, I'm not really the money guy, but I am the guy who can do creative control, who can give notes on the script, who can text or call an actor to get them to sign on.

And I found myself advocating for the cast and crew during filmmaking, where if they have an idea or someone's being bullied or treated unfairly, I'm the first to speak up and be like, this is bullshit.

Like, we're going to do something about this.

And I'm proud of that.

I really like advocating for people because I didn't even realize it until recently.

People look at me like, you know, I had somebody say from the makeup department, hair and makeup, that these lovely women I worked on recent on a movie with recently that I produced.

It's called The Very Best People and great casts like me and Jake Lacey and Carrie Bechet, Catherine Moriarty, Catherine Moriarty, a bunch of great people.
