:08:03
so you get some really cool
interior stuff there.
:08:08
You know what I'm saying?
You ever see Manhattan?
:08:11
Ever see The Seventh Seal, where they
have great dialogues and backgrounds?
:08:16
Talking about the plague,
and there's a gargoyle in the back...
:08:19
or talking about life, and there's
Jupiter or Saturn in the back.
:08:24
I mean, this just looks right.
:08:26
This is perfect,
I mean, the way I see it.
:08:28
And, of course, there'll be
a whole crowd of people here...
:08:31
so we gotta make a line
where people can't go.
:08:33
and have a lot of assistant directors
saying, "Step five feet back."
:08:39
I was reading an interview of him,
and he said, "This is my dream...
:08:43
since I was a little kid
filming in a cemetery.
:08:45
I dreamt of making a feature film."
:08:48
I was like, "Oh, my God, this is
his whole life, making this one film."
:08:53
I can lose ten weekends to help him.
:08:57
A synopsis on the story? Okay.
:09:00
We're gonna go--
The film starts-- Check it out.
:09:03
Beautiful, stunning black-and-white shot
at the magic hour...
:09:07
as we float past dilapidated duplexes,
worn trailer courts.
:09:11
I've been location-scouting them...
:09:13
so when I do this, I've already got
what's in between my hands.
:09:18
Then, at that moment, people say,
"My God, I'm glad I'm sitting here...
:09:21
because I'm actually seeing
something for once."
:09:24
We get to see Americans
and American dreams...
:09:26
and you won't walk away depressed
after seeing this, period.
:09:30
My name is Matthew Weisman.
:09:33
I'm working on a film
entitled Northwestern.
:09:40
- I'm doing casting for the film.
- Okay.
:09:44
- Do you want to know about the film?
- Yeah, I do.
:09:49
A 186-minute phone call
to California at prime rates?
:09:54
What could you talk to your
stupid-ass brother about for that long?
:09:58
You know he's been having
psychological problems lately.
