good how are you good uh thank you so
0:03
much for taking the time to do this it's
0:04
wonderful to meet you and congrats on
0:05
the film you're both fantastic um we
0:08
don't have a lot of time so let me jump
0:10
right in so and I'm Christie by the way
0:11
um so I'm wondering you both I believe
0:14
have had experience with ranches in real
0:17
life correct um do you think that that
0:19
made you feel more comfortable and the
0:21
characters are able to get into this
0:22
kind of setting at least
0:24
i think so you know this is it's a it's
0:28
not like something you can just learn
0:30
overnight or bond with in that way and I
0:33
think you need to
0:34
have a a history going in especially
0:37
with this you know Carlile who wrote the
0:40
script and and uh and directed it's so
0:44
authentic that you feel like you want to
0:46
you know be up for that to have you some
0:50
respect for what he wrote because it's
0:52
it does come through and and the you
0:55
know the that audience of those people
0:58
they they're going to be watching it and
1:00
you they will bust you immediately on
1:03
that you've got to pass the smell test
1:05
you know and that that was important for
1:07
me too just in reading the movie I was
1:10
like I I I do have experience with this
1:12
on the other side of it for for True he
1:14
had to have experience with being being
1:17
an athlete these guys are athletes
1:19
they're doing deathdeying things and uh
1:22
there was a connection there for me
1:25
where I could sort of relive that aspect
1:26
of my life almost in a therapeutic way
1:30
for me uh having been a hockey hockey
1:32
player and having injuries and playing
1:34
through injuries and having that my
1:36
identity and losing that identity how do
1:38
I who do who am I if I'm not a bearback
1:41
bron rider who am I if I'm not a hockey
1:43
player all those feelings are are very
1:46
similar if not the same uh and so that
1:49
was something that I felt needed to be
1:51
authentic as well to match the
1:53
authenticity of the world that that
1:54
you're that that that had set in um and
1:58
that was obviously being shephered by
2:00
Carlile who you know is the most
2:03
authentic western director that I've
2:05
ever worked with um so yeah that was
2:09
pretty pretty great wonderful answer and
2:11
I think the authenticity really came
2:13
through so I think that that is a very
2:14
important part um I'm curious have
2:17
either of you ever tried any rodeo any
2:20
hands rodeo well I've done some calf
2:22
roping in my time nice and uh some
2:27
cutting there's no cutting in you know
2:29
in rodeo but uh cutting events with
2:32
horses and I've had horses throughout
2:34
you know throughout my life and
2:37
uh you know it's it's and I've been a
2:41
lover of rodeo and I want to see it
2:44
expanded in fact you know um we're going
2:48
to the American rodeo today which is uh
2:50
Oh cool yeah that's where we're kind of
2:53
debuting all this stuff and uh that's
2:56
which is wants to expand rodeo it's
2:59
growing it and to expand it beyond east
3:02
of the Mississippi River great you know
3:04
I think there's an audience for it yeah
3:07
absolutely um so there's you know this
3:09
is also a very powerful movie i think
3:11
there's a lot of really great emotional
3:13
um depth to it and a lot of growth for
3:15
especially Wyatt's character but also uh
3:18
yours as well Dennis with everything
3:19
that goes on i'm just wondering um in
3:21
your own words what do you think really
3:23
the message is of this film yeah he said
3:26
you know survival you know somebody has
3:29
said redemption but I think it's kind of
3:31
a bittersweet type of redemption or even
3:34
getting to that point where you can even
3:36
you know start your way back yeah uh you
3:40
know a lot of things you wish you said
3:42
that it's now too late for you know but
3:47
it's it's it's very relatable you know
3:50
you it's there's rodeo in this but you
3:54
know it's got to be about something that
3:57
people can relate to bigger than rodeo
4:00
that in order to otherwise just watch a
4:02
rodeo yeah and uh this is uh you know I
4:07
think the the relationships and what
4:10
happens here I think a people will find
4:12
relatable and I I think for me it was
4:15
the struggle to find identity you know
4:18
uh at that part of your life I think
4:20
it's very relatable for any sort of
4:22
person in their early 30s to mid30s to
4:25
to
4:27
uh identify with something that you are
4:30
yeah yeah and when you've identified for
4:32
something for so long as yourself and
4:34
then that thing gets taken away uh and
4:37
you can no longer call yourself that
4:39
it's very difficult process trying to
4:43
get to someplace else that you can
4:45
identify as mhm um and so that uh you
4:49
know the journey of that obviously
4:51
dramatized in this film uh just I think
4:54
hopefully connects with a lot of these
4:55
people that live in in this part of our
4:58
country that uh this culture supersedes
5:01
as as the main aspect of what life is
5:04
ranching farming rodeo those are those
5:07
those are cultural elements that people
5:09
identify with that at some point in your
5:11
life if you're doing those things uh you
5:13
need to become something else you need
5:16
to grow and become something in your
5:17
life uh that might not be a bearback
5:21
bron rider right but that doesn't mean
5:23
that you're still not one and and to
5:25
carry that with you as I did with hockey
5:29
i'll always be a hockey player it's who
5:30
I am it's what made me but I'm not doing
5:32
it anymore on how I identify as a human
5:34
being i think that is something uh we
5:36
hopefully can connect with audiences
5:38
great well thank you so much for your
5:40
time um have a great uh day and rodeo
5:43
and uh thanks again thank you
