00:00 My favorite cinema is very visually driven.

00:03 It's not like a play.

00:05 It's like a dream.

00:07 It's just a pure emotion.

00:09 This film's a melting pot of movies I grew up loving.

00:16 Go, go, go!

00:18 A Vietnam movie mixed with robotic sci-fi.

00:22 They've come for the child.

00:24 Gareth has this ability to inject compassion

00:28 in a sci-fi genre

00:30 that usually leans on spectacle and danger.

00:34 Fire!

00:35 Gareth Edwards, he is a visionary.

00:38 And these characters are all relatable

00:40 and you fall in love with them.

00:42 I thought, "Oh my God, sign me up. I want to be a part of this."

00:45 What jumped out was the magical realism that he was able to execute.

00:50 The depth and the motion that he was able to capture in every frame.

00:55 They're my family.

00:56 They're not people, Maya.

00:57 They're not real.

00:58 You and I are real.

00:59 This isn't real.

01:00 Okay, and cut. Good.

01:01 The film deals with a lot of big themes like

01:05 what does it mean to be human?

01:07 And what does it mean to be alive?

01:09 And can love transcend those divides and boundaries?

01:12 You're my friend?

01:14 Should we embrace it? Should we destroy it?

01:17 Everyone ready? And action.

01:19 Gareth shoots in a way that a lot of actors love

01:23 because he doesn't like to cut.

01:25 Keep going, keep going.

01:27 I love that process where we do these rounds of just takes.

01:31 He operates the camera himself.

01:34 You know, he knows what he wants.

01:36 Gareth, you're not afraid to try anything.

01:38 And anything goes.

01:40 We really went for broke.

01:44 It's just a really insane, rich, visual journey

01:48 that I hope affects people in the way that I was affected

01:52 when cinema blew my mind as a kid.
