There&#8217;s also a video of them discussing the film together. Really in-depth! They&#8217;re both so thoughtful and charming (not to mention super generous with me in terms of carving out time for an interview, and being so open with my questions. I never felt like I was bothering them. They were totally into it. And <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/?p=197756\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jacob did some research on me beforehand<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>The film is premiering at the Venice Film Festival at the end of this month.
