The official logline is Hal and Harper and dad chart the evolution of their family.

But it's about two very close siblings and their dad, who's not here, Mark Ruffalo.

they are going back in time to kind of let go of the pain that that house was holding.

Harper is a flawed woman that you can't help but see yourself in, which I think is beautiful.

And she's navigating the fact that she had to kind of raise her younger and the pressure that that put on her to grow up very quickly and how that's affecting her in her adulthood and her relationships romantically.

And I want to drill down with the closeness of your siblings because, you know, there's so much history.

Where do you begin with finding that closeness with each other?

Well, we knew each other for a year before we got to film, which was really important.

And I think we were able to just spend a lot of time getting to know each other, but

also building these characters and their dynamic.

And, I don't know, the first scene we filmed together, it just like it was right.

And Cooper, I mean, you have a murderous row of actors in this.

You also have Ruffalo, Betty Gilpin, and you are in this as well.

How do you keep your mind on directing when you are acting opposite this cast?

I always say that it feels like everyone's always.

When you're trying to get to the center of what a scene is and what the ultimate big story is, it feels like everyone's kind of directing in a way.

We're trying to just, like, figure out what's right and get into that deep space.

I was never, like, giving notes, I would say, was I?

I'm pretty sure there's a lot of, like, no more notes, actually.

Well, then, what is that, like, for the cast when you are acting opposite your director?

I've done it before where I've been acting with my director on television, and

I think it seemed organic because we knew what our relationship was in the show, and

we know what our relationship was outside of it, and

it was just, you Kind of snap in and out of it, and it was.

I feel like so many of the times where there was a question, he had the answer.

So it's honestly better to have everyone in the same space that, like, we're solving the thing together, but

you're, like, leading us through that, which is great.

I also will say, particularly in my case, I think I had some wariness going into it before I had met Cooper, about what it would be like to work with your writer, director, producer, in an intimate scene across from one another and how that power dynamic would play out.

And I actually think what I learned from this is there's aspects in which it's difficult because you're in the middle of it, and

then you're giving me a note, and you're right here, and I'm like, right, right, right.

I think accessible is the best word to describe it because he wrote it, he's lived with it for so many years.

It's really nice having you as close as possible.

And I think my trust in Coop definitely, like, saved a lot of moments for me where I'll.

Cause, like, when he's directing, he's also, like.

You can tell he's got, like, so much on his mind.

So sometimes when he gives you a note, like, it can come off.

Like, you don't even know, like, if he's happy about the note or if he's sad about the note or, like, it'll be like.

It'll be like, just so, like, just, like, straight to the point.

And as an actor, I'm like, wait, bro, like, you an actor, too.

But also at the same time, like, you knew you had got it when Cooper was like, all right, we're good.

Because you wouldn't, you know, you're an actor, and, you know, if I know it's not right, you know it's not right.

If I can't quite trust that it's right, and you tell me that it's right.

I trust you as an actor, too, to be, like, it's truthful.
