have a drink and chat. They talk about how they both got into the industry at
different times in their lives (Manny was in his twenties, Aera in her early
thirties), how they got the roles in the film, what's been going on in their
personal lives recently, the differences between the two genres of films, and then
dive into a discussion about how good it is to be single when you make a feature
film. They also talk about a couple of movies they've seen that have really inspired
them, including The Big Short and The Revenant.
The conversation turns into a discussion about the importance of working with
directors (Manny loves working with Christopher Nolan and Joel Edgerton) and how
hard it is to get someone you admire to work with you (Aera says there's a big
difference between making something that inspires you and working with someone that
inspires you). They both talk about how they've learned about the business side of
filmmaking, which Aera says is not necessarily easy. Manny then mentions his recent
trip to Venice, which Aera finds interesting because it was an opportunity to work
with directors like James Marsh and Christopher Nolan (who she loves) while having a
conversation with him.
Aera also talks about how working in television has changed her perspective on what
she wants from film. She says working for a TV show has taught her that you don't
have to be a big star, you can be a little quirky in your approach to your work.
Manny then asks Aera if she's ever met anyone who's worked at Sony Pictures, but she
doesn't remember. She then talks about how working with Paul Feig and Judd Apatow
has given her confidence, which seems like something that wouldn't have been
possible just a few months ago.
The conversation turns into a discussion about how different the film industry is
from television, including the fact that there's an expectation for people to be
able to deliver projects on time (Manny thinks it's kind of weird because people
think if they're late on something it's because they're lazy). They also discuss how
much Aera and Manny love working with each other and how it has changed their lives.
They end the interview by talking about the importance of the creative process, and
how important it is to work with people who share your vision. Manny then mentions
that he's a big fan of a new podcast he's been listening to called The Hollywood
Reporter On Demand. He says he thinks that it could be a really cool way for
everyone in the industry to have their own podcast, since many people are already
talking about and writing about movies on social media, but they haven't really had
their own podcast before.
