00:00Yeah it was really awesome getting to work with her. She brought her own kind of background and kind of infused it into the character of Olga. She's Dominican and so is Olga in the movie and like we would workshop like ways that she would say a line or like express frustration or just a song that Olga would listen to on the radio that you know a Dominican might listen to.
00:25So we leaned on her a lot creatively for those kinds of things.
00:30And her sense of humor. I think a lot of the movies she's in and shows she's in showcase her like amazing serious acting chops but she's also just a really funny warm person and I'm really glad that we got to see both sides of her in this film and laugh with her and kind of laugh at Olga so she's not you watch this buttoned up woman become a little less buttoned up as time goes by.
00:53I think you just love her all the more for it.
00:56Yeah and that like in her performance she infuses yeah like so much of her own experience being a mother like you know when there's scenes where like Olga and Elio are butting heads and they're arguing and like maybe Olga kind of like is flies off the handle or like gets worked up like Zoe's performing it from like a place of love and concern
01:17and you always feel that when you're watching these characters on screen.
01:22Yeah and Zoe we would when you know you think of Zoe she's the queen of sci-fi right she's done all this so she brings that aspect of the film.
01:29She's also played these military roles so she has a great respect for the military and is really you know great about playing that aspect of Olga so she just added so much to the film.
01:38She had it all she has it all she has it all.
