77

00:02:15,801 --> 00:02:17,828

78

00:02:17,848 --> 00:02:18,550

Marc: to be on the beach.

79

00:02:18,580 --> 00:02:21,107

Marc: I've got a daughter who's on her gap year

80

00:02:21,147 --> 00:02:22,832

Marc: right now between high school and college,

81

00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:31,763

Marc: and so she came down here with me and just

82

00:02:31,784 --> 00:02:32,586

Marc: got done bartending for spring break.

83

00:02:32,606 --> 00:02:33,088

Marc: That was an odyssey.

84

00:02:33,108 --> 00:02:33,449

Marc: That was, I'm sure.

85

00:02:33,469 --> 00:02:34,653

Marc: So yeah, you're from Texas also right.

86

00:02:34,673 --> 00:02:35,416

Tye: That's right Whereabouts.

87

00:02:35,436 --> 00:02:36,941

Tye: I grew up in a really small town in East

88

00:02:36,981 --> 00:02:38,705

Tye: Texas, in between Dallas and Houston,

89

00:02:38,765 --> 00:02:41,030

Tye: called Elkhart Elkhart, texas, okay.

90

00:02:41,531 --> 00:02:45,692

Marc: I got family in in Longview so my sister

91

00:02:45,753 --> 00:02:48,082

Marc: lives in longview so you probably made a

92

00:02:48,122 --> 00:02:50,309

Marc: stop once, twice to bodacious barbecue, or

93

00:02:50,329 --> 00:02:51,693

Marc: I've been to bodacious.

94

00:02:52,235 --> 00:02:54,945

Marc: They have old dr pepper glass dr pepper

95

00:02:54,965 --> 00:02:55,266

Marc: bottles.

96

00:02:55,286 --> 00:02:57,394

Marc: They have a big water bath of warm water

97

00:02:57,896 --> 00:02:58,880

Marc: and they have barbecue sauce.

98

00:02:58,940 --> 00:03:01,566

Marc: So the barbecue sauce is always in one of

99

00:03:01,586 --> 00:03:02,328

Marc: these bottles warm.

100

00:03:02,408 --> 00:03:04,621

Marc: I know it's I'm not a big barbecue guy

101

00:03:04,641 --> 00:03:06,427

Marc: necessarily, but everybody it's like it's

102

00:03:06,488 --> 00:03:07,070

Marc: on I-20.

103

00:03:07,180 --> 00:03:07,965

Marc: So everybody goes there.

104

00:03:08,146 --> 00:03:09,454

Marc: Yeah, so very good.

105

00:03:09,474 --> 00:03:10,962

Marc: But but no, you know it was so funny.

106

00:03:11,684 --> 00:03:13,468

Marc: I rarely go go over folks.

107

00:03:14,411 --> 00:03:14,752

Marc: I am DB.

108

00:03:15,101 --> 00:03:16,666

Marc: I don't really try to scour too much

109

00:03:16,726 --> 00:03:18,100

Marc: because I don't like to sit down and talk

110

00:03:18,140 --> 00:03:19,102

Marc: with folks like we're going over your

111

00:03:19,142 --> 00:03:19,583

Marc: resume.

112

00:03:20,264 --> 00:03:22,387

Marc: But I didn't realize the depth of how much

113

00:03:22,447 --> 00:03:24,030

Marc: stuff you've done because you've been on

114

00:03:24,050 --> 00:03:24,391

Marc: the scene.

115

00:03:24,731 --> 00:03:27,015

Marc: I love all the work you've done that I've

116

00:03:27,055 --> 00:03:27,255

Marc: seen.

117

00:03:27,396 --> 00:03:27,997

Marc: Appreciate that.

118

00:03:28,501 --> 00:03:31,607

Marc: I was trying to find some of the projects

119

00:03:31,627 --> 00:03:33,591

Marc: that maybe I haven't heard of before and

120

00:03:34,272 --> 00:03:35,234

Marc: just stumbled across.

121

00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,407

Marc: My daughter is the biggest Zach Bryan fan

122

00:03:37,487 --> 00:03:38,190

Marc: on planet Earth.

123

00:03:38,942 --> 00:03:40,748

Marc: I mean, that's her god when it comes to

124

00:03:40,788 --> 00:03:44,793

Marc: country music and the video for Nineball.

125

00:03:45,574 --> 00:03:47,236

Marc: Just to kind of start off as curious and

126

00:03:47,296 --> 00:03:48,397

Marc: for my daughter's sake, because I know

127

00:03:48,417 --> 00:03:50,484

Marc: she's going to ask how did you get involved

128

00:03:50,524 --> 00:03:52,449

Marc: in that project with Matthew McConaughey?

129

00:03:52,530 --> 00:03:53,091

Tye: Good question.

130

00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,087

Tye: Yeah, it was really like last minute and

131

00:03:56,929 --> 00:03:58,473

Tye: just seemed like a lot of fun.

132

00:03:58,620 --> 00:04:00,955

Tye: You know, I think Zach is a really special

133

00:04:01,499 --> 00:04:04,165

Tye: artist and yeah it was.

134

00:04:04,326 --> 00:04:07,933

Tye: You know, go go shoot pool, hang out, work

135

00:04:07,973 --> 00:04:11,230

Tye: with, work with mcconaughey and on a zach

136

00:04:11,270 --> 00:04:13,497

Tye: bryan music video for a day sure why not?

137

00:04:13,778 --> 00:04:15,102

Marc: so y'all work together about once every

138

00:04:15,162 --> 00:04:15,503

Marc: decade.

139

00:04:15,543 --> 00:04:16,727

Marc: You and mcconaughey got to connect.

140

00:04:16,767 --> 00:04:18,420

Marc: You know another, another good texas guy no,

141

00:04:18,500 --> 00:04:19,402

Marc: it was good, it was good.

142

00:04:19,442 --> 00:04:21,946

Tye: He's, he's, uh, yeah, he's so much fun to

143

00:04:21,966 --> 00:04:23,989

Tye: work with really, uh, he's, he's a a

144

00:04:24,049 --> 00:04:25,251

Tye: character to.

145

00:04:26,673 --> 00:04:27,855

Tye: Maybe that would be an understatement.

146

00:04:28,220 --> 00:04:29,605

Marc: Well, you know I haven't watched too many

147

00:04:29,666 --> 00:04:31,846

Marc: videos since I'm a little older than you

148

00:04:31,906 --> 00:04:31,967

Marc: are.

149

00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,346

Marc: I remember when MTV actually played the

150

00:04:33,366 --> 00:04:36,588

Marc: videos, but I really love that.

151

00:04:36,881 --> 00:04:38,929

Marc: It was just such a cool bit of storytelling.

152

00:04:40,826 --> 00:04:41,609

Marc: It was just kind of neat.

153

00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,047

Marc: When we were doing our drive down here in

154

00:04:44,067 --> 00:04:49,903

Marc: the U-Haul, my daughter, at least for a

155

00:04:49,923 --> 00:04:50,987

Marc: good chunk of the trip, had all this random

156

00:04:51,007 --> 00:04:51,951

Marc: stuff from Zach Bryan, and that's about the

157

00:04:51,971 --> 00:04:53,678

Marc: only person that she's actually the voice

158

00:04:53,698 --> 00:04:55,683

Marc: of my show here and the thing is she

159

00:04:55,703 --> 00:04:56,866

Marc: doesn't ever really listen to it.

160

00:04:56,986 --> 00:05:00,193

Marc: I think if I can get Zach Bryan to come on,

161

00:05:01,282 --> 00:05:02,405

Marc: she's like I'll get a final listen.

162

00:05:02,425 --> 00:05:04,249

Marc: Listen, it was very impressive.

163

00:05:04,670 --> 00:05:08,545

Marc: Uh, and I don't say that often, it's like I

164

00:05:08,645 --> 00:05:10,209

Marc: I have a chance to speak with a lot of

165

00:05:10,269 --> 00:05:12,413

Marc: wonderful folks, but the breadth of

166

00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,427

Marc: projects you've done and the amount of uh,

167

00:05:15,587 --> 00:05:17,672

Marc: folks you've worked with who are just, you

168

00:05:17,712 --> 00:05:19,944

Marc: know, as a young actor, it seems like you

169

00:05:19,964 --> 00:05:22,229

Marc: probably had more unique learning

170

00:05:22,289 --> 00:05:23,813

Marc: experiences than you know.

171

00:05:23,833 --> 00:05:25,123

Marc: A lot of your contemporaries, just the

172

00:05:25,183 --> 00:05:26,727

Marc: people you had a chance to work with and

173

00:05:26,747 --> 00:05:29,581

Marc: the projects you're working on, but um, you

174

00:05:29,601 --> 00:05:31,085

Marc: know, I appreciate that I'm a lucky guy.

175

00:05:31,346 --> 00:05:33,351

Marc: You've had a long career, but the thing is

176

00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,264

Marc: making that transition you're a young actor

177

00:05:35,405 --> 00:05:37,750

Marc: to now you're mid, late twenties in that

178

00:05:37,831 --> 00:05:41,224

Marc: realm Uh, so that was that hard shift for

179

00:05:41,264 --> 00:05:43,027

Marc: you to go in people's minds, think, from

180

00:05:43,047 --> 00:05:45,551

Marc: being the teen actor to doing the kind of

181

00:05:45,591 --> 00:05:46,733

Marc: projects you're doing right now.

182

00:05:47,394 --> 00:05:47,815

Tye: I don't know.

183

00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,651

Tye: You know, I think kids really, as you know,

184

00:05:51,740 --> 00:05:55,650

Tye: you have a teenager younger, early 20s

185

00:05:55,690 --> 00:05:59,026

Tye: daughter sounds like they change fast.

186

00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:00,961

Tye: You know.

187

00:06:01,041 --> 00:06:02,949

Tye: It's like you don't see them for six months

188

00:06:03,020 --> 00:06:04,025

Tye: and they're six inches taller.

189

00:06:05,761 --> 00:06:07,467

Marc: Yeah, you know it seems you don't see them

190

00:06:07,487 --> 00:06:08,371

Marc: for six months and they're six inches

191

00:06:08,391 --> 00:06:08,772

Marc: taller.

192

00:06:08,792 --> 00:06:09,816

Marc: Yeah, you know, it seems I got one just

193

00:06:09,836 --> 00:06:10,839

Marc: turned 21, which is mind-boggling to me

194

00:06:10,859 --> 00:06:11,882

Marc: yeah, oh, yeah, yeah.

195

00:06:11,902 --> 00:06:13,045

Marc: Legally drink alcohol now.

196

00:06:14,809 --> 00:06:17,061

Marc: But I mean, but the transition for you, you

197

00:06:17,101 --> 00:06:19,888

Marc: know, it seemed very seamless, it's like it

198

00:06:19,928 --> 00:06:22,213

Marc: just, you know, you went from ready player

199

00:06:22,333 --> 00:06:23,945

Marc: one I was watching that and then I watched

200

00:06:24,246 --> 00:06:25,692

Marc: you know, god, what was I saying the other

201

00:06:25,712 --> 00:06:27,237

Marc: day I've seen three of your films in the

202

00:06:27,297 --> 00:06:27,799

Marc: last week.

203

00:06:27,819 --> 00:06:28,802

Tye: You know I was like let me go check out

204

00:06:28,822 --> 00:06:30,647

Tye: some of those stuff I really enjoyed it.

205

00:06:30,887 --> 00:06:33,261

Marc: And to kind of go back, I mentioned ready

206

00:06:33,281 --> 00:06:33,843

Marc: player one.

207

00:06:33,923 --> 00:06:35,608

Marc: I've been, I was, I've been curious since

208

00:06:35,648 --> 00:06:37,721

Marc: watching that I do a lot of voiceover.

209

00:06:37,781 --> 00:06:39,726

Marc: It's kind of one of my main things I do.

210

00:06:39,766 --> 00:06:40,528

Marc: But I was curious.

211

00:06:40,588 --> 00:06:42,112

Marc: A lot of that movie seems like was it

212

00:06:42,172 --> 00:06:42,874

Marc: motion capture?

213

00:06:42,934 --> 00:06:44,338

Marc: Was it a voiceover?

214

00:06:44,919 --> 00:06:45,280

Tye: It was both.

215

00:06:46,162 --> 00:06:48,667

Tye: It was motion capture, which we shot in

216

00:06:48,708 --> 00:06:51,013

Tye: motion capture for about eight weeks on the

217

00:06:51,073 --> 00:06:51,273

Tye: film.

218

00:06:52,220 --> 00:06:54,147

Tye: You know it was a bigger, bigger project

219

00:06:54,248 --> 00:06:54,629

Tye: obviously.

220

00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,846

Tye: So you know we had a lot of shooting days

221

00:06:56,866 --> 00:06:58,791

Tye: but, yeah, eight weeks of the of the shoot

222

00:06:59,141 --> 00:07:00,126

Tye: we were in motion capture.

223

00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,844

Tye: And so, yeah, I guess, for anybody who's

224

00:07:02,884 --> 00:07:04,247

Tye: listening doesn't know what motion capture

225

00:07:04,327 --> 00:07:06,170

Tye: is, it's, you've probably seen the behind

226

00:07:06,190 --> 00:07:08,294

Tye: the scenes on, like Avatar or something

227

00:07:08,334 --> 00:07:10,548

Tye: like that, of the actors wearing the funny

228

00:07:10,609 --> 00:07:12,417

Tye: suits and with the ball, the tracking

229

00:07:12,437 --> 00:07:13,461

Tye: Marcers all over them.

230

00:07:14,043 --> 00:07:17,111

Tye: You know the cameras um on on their on

231

00:07:17,131 --> 00:07:19,722

Tye: their face, um, so we, you know we were in

232

00:07:19,762 --> 00:07:25,010

Tye: a volume with 180 infrared sensors and, you

233

00:07:25,050 --> 00:07:26,713

Tye: know, recording the animation data, um,

234

00:07:27,454 --> 00:07:29,722

Tye: because like 40 percent of the movie takes

235

00:07:29,762 --> 00:07:32,549

Tye: place and in a virtual world, and so I'd

236

00:07:32,589 --> 00:07:34,081

Tye: never done that before and it was very

237

00:07:34,161 --> 00:07:36,209

Tye: technical and you know, I guess it's the

238

00:07:36,249 --> 00:07:38,939

Tye: closest experience I've ever had to, like

239

00:07:38,979 --> 00:07:41,265

Tye: working on a stage, for instance oh so you

240

00:07:41,285 --> 00:07:42,548

Tye: see, you didn't have that background of

241

00:07:42,608 --> 00:07:45,202

Tye: working on, uh, working on stage, you kind

242

00:07:45,222 --> 00:07:46,946

Tye: of went right to on camera, more or less

243

00:07:47,006 --> 00:07:47,207

Tye: right.

244

00:07:47,447 --> 00:07:47,908

Tye: Pretty much.

245

00:07:47,969 --> 00:07:50,962

Tye: Yeah, no, I I kind of randomly fell into

246

00:07:50,982 --> 00:07:54,389

Tye: the whole this whole thing, and especially

247

00:07:54,429 --> 00:07:55,170

Tye: the film world.

248

00:07:55,250 --> 00:07:58,341

Tye: I was, I was uh, let's see, I was 10 years

249

00:07:58,481 --> 00:08:01,386

Tye: old and I was going to.

250

00:08:01,526 --> 00:08:02,087

Tye: You know, my.

251

00:08:02,768 --> 00:08:04,610

Tye: I grew up in a really small town in East

252

00:08:04,631 --> 00:08:08,055

Tye: Texas and was going to public school there

253

00:08:08,260 --> 00:08:10,205

Tye: and some casting directors came through and

254

00:08:11,208 --> 00:08:12,671

Tye: were casting for this movie called the Tree

255

00:08:12,691 --> 00:08:15,204

Tye: of Life and they ended up recruiting like

256

00:08:15,284 --> 00:08:18,050

Tye: 10,000 kids across the state of Texas to

257

00:08:18,090 --> 00:08:20,442

Tye: come and audition for this film and they

258

00:08:20,482 --> 00:08:22,609

Tye: were sending invites home with the kids.

259

00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:23,785

Tye: And I just happened to take home one of

260

00:08:23,805 --> 00:08:25,724

Tye: these invites and my parents said well, you

261

00:08:25,744 --> 00:08:27,269

00:08:28,500 --> 00:08:29,664

Tye: You know, you can always tell people.

264

00:08:29,684 --> 00:08:31,560

Tye: You got to audition for a film one time and

265

00:08:31,621 --> 00:08:33,066

Tye: I said, yeah, that sounds cool, you know

266

00:08:33,086 --> 00:08:33,407

Tye: why not?

267

00:08:33,568 --> 00:08:36,207

Marc: And so Was the bug already there?

268

00:08:36,300 --> 00:08:37,606

Marc: Like were you intrigued?

269

00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:46,084

Marc: Or was this like, yeah, I might as well

270

Marc: creative type?

271

00:08:46,406 --> 00:08:47,169

Marc: Yeah, but I was also an athlete as well.

272

00:08:47,189 --> 00:08:48,014

Marc: So Now, what were you doing in high school

273

00:08:48,034 --> 00:08:48,215

00:08:50,527 --> 00:08:52,035

Marc: an athlete, or were you you?

277

00:08:52,055 --> 00:08:53,401

Tye: know I was playing baseball pretty much

278

00:08:53,441 --> 00:08:55,606

Tye: year round, but I played all the sports.

279

00:08:55,647 --> 00:08:58,213

Tye: You know we had a baseball, basketball,

280

00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,188

Tye: football, ran track middle school.

281

00:09:02,228 --> 00:09:03,992

Tye: But but yeah, I, you know, I was just

282

00:09:04,052 --> 00:09:10,662

Tye: playing sports, hanging out with my friends.

283

00:09:10,682 --> 00:09:11,786

Tye: I've always been very into the outdoors,

284

00:09:11,806 --> 00:09:12,930

Tye: you know my, my dad would take me a lot on

285

00:09:12,970 --> 00:09:14,435

Tye: the out on the Trinity river and we would

286

00:09:14,455 --> 00:09:15,900

Tye: fish on the Trinity river and so, uh, you

287

00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,844

Tye: know, I was just a boy, you know, just

288

00:09:17,865 --> 00:09:20,310

Tye: being a boy and doing what boys do in the

289

00:09:20,651 --> 00:09:21,173

Tye: neck of the woods.

290

00:09:32,580 --> 00:09:33,463

Tye: What kind of work did your dad do back then?

291

00:09:33,483 --> 00:09:34,506

Tye: My dad works for UPS, so he's a UPS driver.

292

00:09:34,526 --> 00:09:35,408

Tye: He's been doing that for over 30 years.

293

00:09:35,428 --> 00:09:36,231

Tye: And yeah, my mom, she was always kind of a

294

00:09:36,251 --> 00:09:36,752

Tye: small business owner.

295

00:09:36,772 --> 00:09:38,317

Tye: She owned, she was a massage therapist for

296

00:09:38,357 --> 00:09:40,703

Tye: a while and she, you know, would travel

297

00:09:41,566 --> 00:09:43,491

Tye: around working with kids that had, you know,

298

00:09:43,772 --> 00:09:45,437

Tye: some kind of muscular dystrophies or

299

00:09:46,139 --> 00:09:48,264

Tye: something like that, which was cool, but

300

00:09:48,285 --> 00:09:50,911

Tye: yeah, and then she had a salon and a

301

00:09:50,951 --> 00:09:52,280

Tye: clothing boutique and stuff like that.

302

00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,445

Tye: So, yeah, my parents, nobody came from the

303

00:09:55,427 --> 00:09:57,050

Tye: entertainment world at all.

304

00:09:57,370 --> 00:10:01,663

Tye: Film was this far fetched land that I

305

00:10:01,683 --> 00:10:02,424

Tye: didn't even know.

306

00:10:02,824 --> 00:10:03,986

Tye: No one could even fathom that it was

307

00:10:04,006 --> 00:10:05,788

Tye: something you could do for a job, right.

308

00:10:05,848 --> 00:10:09,032

Tye: And so I randomly went to this audition,

309

00:10:09,853 --> 00:10:13,121

Tye: kind of on a whim, and uh met Terry Malick

310

00:10:13,141 --> 00:10:16,187

Tye: there and and uh ended up getting called

311

00:10:16,207 --> 00:10:18,552

Tye: back and it was a year long audition

312

00:10:18,572 --> 00:10:20,483

Tye: process and then I finally got cast.

313

00:10:20,763 --> 00:10:22,666

Tye: And I finally got cast in this film, and

314

00:10:22,686 --> 00:10:26,133

Tye: then it was very unique experience.

315

00:10:26,573 --> 00:10:28,504

Tye: I'd never read a script, I never memorized

316

00:10:28,544 --> 00:10:30,892

Tye: any lines, and we were shooting this movie

317

00:10:30,932 --> 00:10:35,108

Tye: for about four months down in Austin and it

318

00:10:35,128 --> 00:10:36,674

Tye: was like the greatest summer camp ever.

319

00:10:36,734 --> 00:10:40,106

Tye: As soon as I landed on the set I was like

320

00:10:40,126 --> 00:10:41,892

Tye: man, who are all these people you know, and

321

00:10:41,932 --> 00:10:42,574

Tye: what do they do?

322

00:10:42,714 --> 00:10:45,022

Tye: And filmmaking the whole process of making

323

00:10:45,042 --> 00:10:47,834

Tye: a film, was just as new to me you as acting

324

00:10:47,874 --> 00:10:49,440

Tye: was, and so I just kind of became enamored

325

00:10:49,500 --> 00:10:52,809

Tye: with it all and uh, and and so, yeah,

326

00:10:52,829 --> 00:10:54,915

Tye: that's really where where it kind of

327

00:10:54,975 --> 00:10:57,041

Tye: started for me that's very cool.

328

00:10:57,121 --> 00:10:58,587

Marc: now, if I remember right, it's been a

329

00:10:58,607 --> 00:11:00,555

Marc: little while since I've seen it, but you

330

00:11:00,615 --> 00:11:04,507

Marc: were the younger version of uh Sean Penn's

331

00:11:04,628 --> 00:11:06,012

Marc: character, am I correct?

332

00:11:06,801 --> 00:11:07,464

Marc: Isn't the movie kind?

333

00:11:07,484 --> 00:11:07,825

Tye: of told.

334

00:11:07,966 --> 00:11:10,587

Tye: No, the movie is yeah, yeah, exactly.

335

00:11:10,981 --> 00:11:14,168

Tye: So you know the story is.

336

00:11:15,110 --> 00:11:16,513

Tye: There are three sons in the family.

337

00:11:16,881 --> 00:11:19,388

Tye: I played the youngest son and then Sean

338

00:11:20,331 --> 00:11:22,217

Tye: Penn would be the oldest son.

339

00:11:22,237 --> 00:11:23,079

Tye: Okay, okay.

340

00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,726

Marc: And Brad Pitt was your father, correct,

341

00:11:25,867 --> 00:11:26,308

Marc: that's right.

342

00:11:26,509 --> 00:11:27,391

Tye: Okay okay very good.

343

00:11:27,740 --> 00:11:29,207

Marc: My kids make fun of my memory all the time.

344

00:11:29,260 --> 00:11:30,986

Marc: I'm trying to go back in time and see this

345

00:11:31,026 --> 00:11:31,187

Marc: movie.

346

00:11:31,207 --> 00:11:31,709

Tye: No, it's very good.

347

00:11:33,082 --> 00:11:34,468

Marc: But you know we'll get to it in a moment.

348

00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:35,946

Marc: But here you are back with Sean Penn again,

349

00:11:35,966 --> 00:11:36,428

Marc: that's right.

350

00:11:36,660 --> 00:11:38,561

Marc: So when you did this, what was your

351

00:11:38,601 --> 00:11:39,522

Marc: parents' impression?

352

00:11:39,562 --> 00:11:42,284

Marc: Or even, let's go to like even kids in

353

00:11:42,304 --> 00:11:43,505

Marc: school, because this is not, you know,

354

00:11:43,525 --> 00:11:44,846

Marc: you're in a small town East Texas.

355

00:11:45,206 --> 00:11:46,507

Marc: Here you're showing up in a movie.

356

00:11:47,428 --> 00:11:49,630

Marc: Did that kind of alter your social dynamic

357

00:11:49,710 --> 00:11:50,630

Marc: and what you're up to?

358

00:11:51,391 --> 00:11:53,172

Marc: How did that shake out when it came to your

359

00:11:53,252 --> 00:11:53,633

Marc: social life?

360

00:11:54,373 --> 00:11:56,154

Tye: Not really other than I just disappeared

361

00:11:56,215 --> 00:11:58,016

Tye: for a summer and my friends didn't see me.

362

00:11:58,076 --> 00:11:59,937

Tye: And then, when I got back, they said what

363

00:11:59,977 --> 00:12:00,478

Tye: were you doing?

364

00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,083

Tye: I said I was working on a film and they

365

00:12:03,103 --> 00:12:03,483

Tye: said bullshit.

366

00:12:03,503 --> 00:12:04,004

Announcer: I don't believe you.

367

00:12:04,485 --> 00:12:06,650

Tye: And then the film took two years to come

368

00:12:06,770 --> 00:12:10,417

Tye: out and uh, and then it finally did come

369

00:12:10,537 --> 00:12:12,344

Tye: out and, and you know, because we were from

370

00:12:12,385 --> 00:12:14,009

Tye: a really small town, it wasn't playing in

371

00:12:14,090 --> 00:12:16,625

Tye: our locals theater and so people had to

372

00:12:16,665 --> 00:12:19,532

Tye: drive, you know, an hour or so to go watch

373

00:12:19,552 --> 00:12:19,913

Tye: the film.

374

00:12:20,380 --> 00:12:22,604

Tye: And, as you can imagine, you've seen the

375

00:12:22,644 --> 00:12:24,026

Tye: movie the tree of life.

376

00:12:24,166 --> 00:12:27,992

Marc: It's um, and as you can imagine, you've

377

00:12:28,032 --> 00:12:28,874

Marc: seen the movie the Tree of Life.

378

00:12:28,894 --> 00:12:30,015

Marc: It's a beautiful film, oh yeah, I thought

379

00:12:30,036 --> 00:12:30,857

Marc: it was beautifully shot.

380

00:12:30,877 --> 00:12:31,579

Marc: I mean it was a really really.

381

00:12:31,719 --> 00:12:33,584

Marc: It was an interesting study and kind of.

382

00:12:33,604 --> 00:12:35,068

Marc: I think anybody who watched it had to kind

383

00:12:35,108 --> 00:12:36,511

Marc: of look at their own life and their own

384

00:12:36,572 --> 00:12:38,225

Marc: upbringing it was an interesting

385

00:12:38,647 --> 00:12:41,440

Marc: contemplation of a film certainly 100% and

386

00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,025

Marc: it won the Palme d'Or at festival year.

387

00:12:44,326 --> 00:12:46,630

Tye: It came out, and you know, so very highly

388

00:12:47,071 --> 00:12:51,926

Tye: regarded movie critically and I think you

389

00:12:51,946 --> 00:12:54,305

Tye: know it was everybody, all my friends are

390

00:12:54,325 --> 00:12:57,742

Tye: waiting for me to see this, for for them to

391

00:12:57,762 --> 00:12:59,849

Tye: see this film that I supposedly was working

392

00:12:59,950 --> 00:13:00,686

Tye: on Until they saw it.

393

00:13:00,706 --> 00:13:01,615

Marc: They probably didn't believe you.

394

00:13:01,656 --> 00:13:02,662

Marc: They were like, yeah, you're full of it.

395

00:13:03,224 --> 00:13:04,469

Marc: You were at summer camp, Come on.

396

00:13:04,900 --> 00:13:06,407

Tye: I didn't know anything about the movie.

397

00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:07,786

Tye: I honestly didn't know what it was about.

398

00:13:07,860 --> 00:13:10,006

Tye: And it was about these three boys, you know,

399

00:13:10,046 --> 00:13:11,831

Tye: growing up from this family.

400

00:13:12,620 --> 00:13:14,623

Tye: And so I was telling people you know what

401

00:13:14,643 --> 00:13:16,386

Tye: the movie was about, without even knowing

402

00:13:16,606 --> 00:13:17,207

Tye: what it was about.

403

00:13:17,247 --> 00:13:19,230

Tye: And when they saw it it was obviously like

404

00:13:20,212 --> 00:13:21,934

Tye: more different than anybody could have even

405

00:13:22,014 --> 00:13:22,475

Tye: fathomed.

406

00:13:23,356 --> 00:13:24,899

Tye: And so, yeah, it was.

407

00:13:24,919 --> 00:13:26,823

Tye: I don't want to say they were making fun of

408

00:13:26,864 --> 00:13:28,789

Tye: me, they were kind of poking fun that I was

409

00:13:28,829 --> 00:13:30,302

Tye: in this, you know this weird movie.

410

00:13:32,306 --> 00:13:34,911

Tye: And then, yeah, and then it was like I

411

00:13:34,931 --> 00:13:36,520

Tye: would just disappear and I went back to my

412

00:13:36,540 --> 00:13:37,622

Tye: public school and I would.

413

00:13:37,802 --> 00:13:39,725

Tye: I disappeared a few years later and went

414

00:13:39,785 --> 00:13:41,027

Tye: and worked on this movie called mud.

415

00:13:41,368 --> 00:13:41,769

Marc: Oh I'm.

416

00:13:41,789 --> 00:13:44,032

Marc: By the way, I gotta say I loved, loved Mud.

417

00:13:44,052 --> 00:13:45,675

Marc: That was like when it came out in New

418

00:13:45,735 --> 00:13:47,646

Marc: Orleans, because I mean I love McConaughey.

419

00:13:47,666 --> 00:13:49,444

Marc: I mean, come on, you know, that was such a

420

00:13:49,564 --> 00:13:51,370

Marc: great random film.

421

00:13:52,242 --> 00:13:53,667

Marc: It was like but so that was your second

422

00:13:53,707 --> 00:13:54,209

Marc: film you were in.

423

00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:55,063

Marc: It was the second film.

424

00:13:55,103 --> 00:14:01,627

Tye: I worked on, yeah, and that was, you know,

425

00:14:01,667 --> 00:14:01,908

Tye: like I.

426

00:14:01,948 --> 00:14:02,248

Tye: So it was.

427

00:14:02,408 --> 00:14:04,711

Tye: It was about these two kids who find a

428

00:14:04,912 --> 00:14:06,994

Tye: fugitive hiding out on this Island on the

429

00:14:07,034 --> 00:14:08,340

Tye: Mississippi river and then they're going to

430

00:14:08,361 --> 00:14:09,082

Tye: try to help this guy.

431

00:14:09,824 --> 00:14:12,170

Tye: Um, and so it was like when I, when I found

432

00:14:12,211 --> 00:14:15,765

Tye: that project, it was kind of very close to

433

00:14:15,805 --> 00:14:18,851

Tye: home and so, I don't know, it was a way, I

434

00:14:18,892 --> 00:14:21,884

Tye: think, just to express myself and my

435

00:14:21,944 --> 00:14:25,552

Tye: experience through through a film and uh,

436

00:14:25,933 --> 00:14:27,256

Tye: you know, it was a really special

437

00:14:28,102 --> 00:14:28,604

Tye: experience.

438

00:14:28,804 --> 00:14:30,570

Tye: And then I just kind of, yeah, after that,

439

00:14:30,590 --> 00:14:33,546

Tye: I just kind of completely fell in love with.

440

00:14:34,228 --> 00:14:36,314

Tye: You know, I realized the power of cinema.

441

00:14:36,494 --> 00:14:37,784

Tye: You know, we made that, we premiered that

442

00:14:37,824 --> 00:14:40,713

Tye: movie at Cannes, mudd I can't remember what

443

00:14:40,753 --> 00:14:43,824

Tye: year, that was 2012 or something like that

444

00:14:44,065 --> 00:14:49,503

Tye: and uh, in competition and and I remember

445

00:14:49,543 --> 00:14:50,746

Tye: going there and you know I was 15, 16 years

446

00:14:50,766 --> 00:14:52,271

Tye: old and whenever one, when the movie ended,

447

00:14:52,351 --> 00:14:55,269

Tye: and you know, thousands of people stood up

448

00:14:55,309 --> 00:14:57,320

Tye: and gave us a 20 minute standing ovation,

449

00:14:57,862 --> 00:14:59,848

Tye: it was like ingrained, you know.

450

00:14:59,869 --> 00:15:02,851

Tye: It was like I realized like the magic and

451

00:15:02,871 --> 00:15:04,448

Tye: the power of cinema in that moment and I

452

00:15:04,415 --> 00:15:05,252

Tye: forever knew that it was what, the power of

453

00:15:05,218 --> 00:15:05,759

Tye: cinema in that moment?

454

00:15:05,725 --> 00:15:06,695

Marc: and I forever knew that was what I wanted

455

00:15:06,715 --> 00:15:08,736

Marc: to do in that moment oh, plus, you had a

456

00:15:08,756 --> 00:15:10,778

Marc: chance to work with, uh, sam Shepard, which

457

00:15:10,860 --> 00:15:13,186

Marc: is when it's only kind of such a special

458

00:15:13,226 --> 00:15:15,732

Marc: thing, you know, yeah, yeah, it was so cool

459

00:15:23,128 --> 00:15:23,891

Marc: what were your folks?

460

00:15:24,272 --> 00:15:25,536

Marc: you've kind of got one of the most unique

467

00:15:36,457 --> 00:15:37,944

Marc: careers because you took off, you went

468

00:15:38,145 --> 00:15:40,354

Marc: right into really great projects with very

469

00:15:40,394 --> 00:15:42,642

Marc: talented people, great directors, so you've

470

00:15:42,802 --> 00:15:44,385

Marc: had a chance to jump right into the meat of

471

00:15:44,505 --> 00:15:45,767

Marc: like really good stuff.

472

00:15:45,968 --> 00:15:49,013

Marc: So, from being in small town, texas kind of

473

00:15:49,033 --> 00:15:50,462

Marc: a two part question how did your, how did

474

00:15:50,482 --> 00:15:51,947

Marc: your parents kind of perceive it and start

475

00:15:52,027 --> 00:15:52,589

Marc: navigating it?

476

00:15:52,609 --> 00:15:54,284

Marc: And how were you able, like, when did you

477

00:15:54,324 --> 00:15:56,751

Marc: make the move and go to LA or you know?

478

00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:57,961

Tye: Well, I never really made.

479

00:15:58,282 --> 00:16:00,625

Tye: I never really made the move to LA.

480

00:16:00,965 --> 00:16:01,967

Tye: I mean I'm back and forth.

481

00:16:02,587 --> 00:16:04,290

Tye: Yeah, I spend a little time in LA, but

482

00:16:04,891 --> 00:16:08,075

Tye: mostly in my time has been in Texas and has

483

00:16:08,115 --> 00:16:10,083

Tye: been spent in Texas and for years, you know,

484

00:16:10,103 --> 00:16:11,709

Tye: I was working on films and bouncing around,

485

00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:12,885

Tye: so it didn't really matter where I lived

486

00:16:12,945 --> 00:16:13,227

Tye: anyway.

487

00:16:14,461 --> 00:16:14,962

Tye: But yeah, I was.

488

00:16:16,447 --> 00:16:17,671

Tye: But yeah, there was a decision.

489

00:16:17,711 --> 00:16:20,500

Tye: You know it was like, well, after the tree

490

00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,183

Tye: of life, which is the first film I worked

491

00:16:22,303 --> 00:16:24,246

Tye: on, I was 11 years old and I told my

492

00:16:24,306 --> 00:16:25,348

Tye: parents of life, which is the first film I

493

00:16:25,368 --> 00:16:25,548

Tye: worked on.

494

00:16:25,568 --> 00:16:26,650

Tye: I was 11 years old and I told my parents 11

495

00:16:26,710 --> 00:16:27,591

Tye: or 12, I told them I think this is

496

00:16:27,611 --> 00:16:28,913

Tye: something I want to do and it was really

497

00:16:28,973 --> 00:16:38,002

Tye: fascinating and I think they had, you know,

498

00:16:38,022 --> 00:16:38,583

Tye: a reluctance around.

499

00:16:38,683 --> 00:16:39,666

Tye: You know, obviously I hear crazy stories

500

00:16:39,686 --> 00:16:40,588

Tye: about child actors and is it really the

501

00:16:40,608 --> 00:16:41,551

Tye: best world for your kid to be getting

502

00:16:41,591 --> 00:16:44,324

Tye: caught up in, and so you know, I think

503

00:16:44,364 --> 00:16:46,167

Tye: there was obviously, you know, some

504

00:16:46,207 --> 00:16:48,451

Tye: hesitation there on my parents' part.

505

00:16:48,791 --> 00:16:52,202

Tye: But you know, of course, if they were there

506

00:16:52,403 --> 00:16:55,771

Tye: and you know kind of looking after me and I

507

00:16:55,791 --> 00:16:57,505

Tye: think they were and it was something I

508

00:16:57,565 --> 00:16:57,988

Tye: wanted to do.

509

00:16:58,048 --> 00:16:58,834

Tye: My parents have never.

510

00:16:58,854 --> 00:17:00,421

Tye: If I ever told my parents I wanted to do

511

00:17:00,481 --> 00:17:02,827

Tye: something, they were always supportive.

512

00:17:02,867 --> 00:17:03,488

Tye: They've never.

513

00:17:04,029 --> 00:17:05,513

Tye: I've been super lucky, they've never.

514

00:17:05,553 --> 00:17:08,065

Tye: Really, you know they're right there,

515

00:17:08,085 --> 00:17:08,466

Tye: they're always.

516

00:17:08,526 --> 00:17:09,970

Tye: Yes, what can I do to help you?

517

00:17:10,270 --> 00:17:11,782

Tye: And I think it was no different in this

518

00:17:12,262 --> 00:17:14,687

Tye: context, obviously like a bit more nuanced,

519

00:17:16,150 --> 00:17:18,654

Tye: but yeah, I, you know it was.

520

00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,966

Tye: It was also like I wasn't living like the

521

00:17:21,006 --> 00:17:23,192

Tye: child actor life, you know, I wasn't on a

522

00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,209

Tye: some regularly occurring Disney show.

523

00:17:26,380 --> 00:17:28,806

Tye: I was, you know, living in East Texas,

524

00:17:28,866 --> 00:17:31,271

Tye: going to the public school that all my

525

00:17:31,331 --> 00:17:32,682

Tye: friends went to, and then I would just

526

00:17:32,722 --> 00:17:34,206

Tye: disappear for a few weeks at a time and go

527

00:17:34,247 --> 00:17:35,470

Tye: work on these small indie movies.

528

00:17:37,021 --> 00:17:39,346

Tye: And then it kind of, you know, when I was

529

00:17:39,386 --> 00:17:42,713

Tye: about 16, I had to kind of make a decision,

530

00:17:42,753 --> 00:17:44,783

Tye: you know, to whether or not I wanted to

531

00:17:44,843 --> 00:17:47,428

Tye: really just focus on school or I wanted to

532

00:17:47,488 --> 00:17:49,632

Tye: pursue the, the acting thing, a bit more.

533

00:17:49,673 --> 00:17:51,943

Tye: I think that was a bit of a harder

534

00:17:51,983 --> 00:17:53,466

Tye: conversation with my parents I was.

535

00:17:54,368 --> 00:17:56,533

Tye: I basically told them hey, you know I've

536

00:17:56,573 --> 00:17:59,506

Tye: got, I'm working consistently now on these

537

00:17:59,566 --> 00:17:59,927

Tye: films.

538

00:17:59,988 --> 00:18:01,552

Tye: I was 16, 17 at the time.

539

00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,443

Marc: Well, did they have an appreciation for the

540

00:18:03,544 --> 00:18:04,145

Marc: the?

541

00:18:04,926 --> 00:18:06,189

Marc: It's not that you're working on films, but

542

00:18:06,229 --> 00:18:07,150

Marc: you really were.

543

00:18:07,190 --> 00:18:08,613

Marc: You were, like I said, the caliber of what

544

00:18:08,633 --> 00:18:10,985

Marc: you were doing was so it was.

545

00:18:11,105 --> 00:18:12,569

Marc: It was up there, you know you were getting

546

00:18:12,589 --> 00:18:13,131

Marc: a lot of traction.

547

00:18:13,151 --> 00:18:15,205

Marc: I mean, did they recognize, or did you have

548

00:18:15,225 --> 00:18:17,030

Marc: an agent or a manager or somebody say,

549

00:18:17,091 --> 00:18:19,164

Marc: listen, this kid's got it going on right

550

00:18:19,204 --> 00:18:19,405

Marc: now?

551

00:18:19,726 --> 00:18:20,348

Tye: Definitely had my.

552

00:18:20,408 --> 00:18:26,901

Tye: So, yes, my manager, paul Nelson.

553

00:18:26,921 --> 00:18:28,463

Tye: I met on the set of the tree of life and I

554

00:18:28,483 --> 00:18:29,544

Tye: met him through Jessica Chastain, so he was

555

00:18:29,584 --> 00:18:32,187

Tye: representing, he represents Jessica and and

556

00:18:33,228 --> 00:18:37,353

Tye: you know, she and my mom had spoken and got

557

00:18:37,393 --> 00:18:39,675

Tye: kind of close while they were, while he

558

00:18:39,715 --> 00:18:40,817

Tye: came to visit on that set.

559

00:18:48,900 --> 00:18:49,942

Tye: And then you know, he's been kind of right

560

00:18:49,963 --> 00:18:50,764

Tye: there in our corner, uh, all along and, um,

561

00:18:50,785 --> 00:18:51,206

Tye: yeah, he he was.

562

00:18:51,226 --> 00:18:53,250

Tye: He was the one I think that you know gave

563

00:18:53,331 --> 00:18:56,782

Tye: my parents the, the comfort and, you know,

564

00:18:56,882 --> 00:19:01,436

Tye: the security that you know he was looking

565

00:19:01,456 --> 00:19:02,840

Tye: out for me, making sure I was working on

566

00:19:02,860 --> 00:19:04,325

Tye: quality projects and stuff like that.

567

00:19:04,385 --> 00:19:06,190

Tye: But I think my parents knew like, oh, it

568

00:19:06,210 --> 00:19:08,085

Tye: was good, it's like these are good projects.

569

00:19:08,145 --> 00:19:11,142

Tye: But they didn't really know, they didn't

570

00:19:11,162 --> 00:19:14,011

Tye: realize exactly.

571

00:19:14,740 --> 00:19:17,088

Tye: I mean, they didn't know if one director

572

00:19:17,128 --> 00:19:18,503

Tye: was better than the other, for instance.

573

00:19:18,523 --> 00:19:21,060

Tye: They just don't have the experience.

574

00:19:21,180 --> 00:19:25,535

Tye: But yeah, it was yeah, but at the same time,

575

00:19:25,576 --> 00:19:27,343

Tye: you know it was, it was not a big shift, it

576

00:19:27,383 --> 00:19:30,411

Tye: was really just, you know, going like I

577

00:19:30,431 --> 00:19:31,581

Tye: said, I would just leave and I would go

578

00:19:31,601 --> 00:19:33,225

Tye: work on these, these projects for a few

579

00:19:33,245 --> 00:19:35,051

Tye: weeks at a time, miss a little school and

580

00:19:35,091 --> 00:19:37,644

Tye: then come back, and so my life didn't

581

00:19:37,664 --> 00:19:40,710

Tye: really change that much until I was 16 or

582

00:19:40,770 --> 00:19:41,331

Tye: 17.

583

00:19:41,732 --> 00:19:42,714

Tye: And then I started working more

584

00:19:42,734 --> 00:19:45,900

Tye: consistently and I knew that I had a little

585

00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:46,623

Tye: momentum.

586

00:19:46,724 --> 00:19:48,190

Tye: My parents, I think, knew that I had a

587

00:19:48,431 --> 00:19:50,098

Tye: little momentum and I had to kind of

588

00:19:50,299 --> 00:19:51,763

Tye: confront them and tell them hey, I want to

589

00:19:51,803 --> 00:19:55,270

Tye: pursue this, you know, more full time, and

590

00:19:55,571 --> 00:19:57,622

Tye: really like turn it, turn this into a

591

00:19:57,722 --> 00:19:59,006

Tye: career and not just a hobby.

592

00:20:00,029 --> 00:20:03,359

Tye: And I think for them, you know, that meant

593

00:20:03,539 --> 00:20:06,264

Tye: leaving school and, you know, trying to

594

00:20:06,324 --> 00:20:07,807

Tye: finish school early because I couldn't

595

00:20:07,847 --> 00:20:08,468

Tye: focus on.

596

00:20:09,470 --> 00:20:12,054

Tye: You know, it's really hard to make films

597

00:20:12,134 --> 00:20:15,685

Tye: period when you have to do that on top of,

598

00:20:16,306 --> 00:20:18,830

Tye: you know, three hours of school every day

599

00:20:18,890 --> 00:20:20,372

Tye: and all of your homework, and when you're

600

00:20:20,392 --> 00:20:22,395

Tye: 17 years old, it got really challenging.

601

00:20:25,700 --> 00:20:27,225

Tye: 17 years old, it got really challenging.

602

00:20:27,245 --> 00:20:28,128

Tye: Um, and so I told my parents, I said, hey,

603

00:20:28,148 --> 00:20:29,031

Tye: I, you know, I'd like to either just focus

604

00:20:29,051 --> 00:20:30,918

Tye: on school or continue pursuing the film

605

00:20:30,958 --> 00:20:31,981

Tye: thing, which I really want to do.

606

00:20:33,163 --> 00:20:36,189

Tye: Uh, and, and they, you know they were

607

00:20:36,209 --> 00:20:40,282

Tye: supportive, but I think it was, you know, a

608

00:20:40,343 --> 00:20:43,168

Tye: bummer, because my, my mom didn't want me

609

00:20:43,188 --> 00:20:44,270

Tye: to get my GED.

610

00:20:44,290 --> 00:20:45,853

Tye: You know, she wanted me to graduate high

611

00:20:45,894 --> 00:20:47,483

Tye: school and you know.

612

00:20:47,544 --> 00:20:50,845

Tye: So I ended up getting my GED and then kind

613

00:20:50,885 --> 00:20:53,662

Tye: of focusing on the film thing and then

614

00:20:53,743 --> 00:20:55,509

Tye: later tried to get into.

615

00:20:55,781 --> 00:20:57,161

Tye: I always wanted to go to university, so I

616

00:20:57,181 --> 00:20:59,846

Tye: tried to get into UT and they pretty much

617

00:20:59,926 --> 00:21:01,350

Tye: laughed me out of the admissions office

618

00:21:04,445 --> 00:21:05,588

Tye: Because my.

619

00:21:05,628 --> 00:21:08,778

Tye: GPA was terrible because I couldn't make up

620

00:21:08,818 --> 00:21:09,500

Tye: elective classes.

621

00:21:09,620 --> 00:21:11,085

Tye: When I would go and I would work on a film.

622

00:21:11,145 --> 00:21:12,550

Tye: So I would come back to school and, of

623

00:21:12,590 --> 00:21:15,010

Tye: course, like all my core classes, grades

624

00:21:15,030 --> 00:21:17,018

Tye: would be transferred, but the elective

625

00:21:17,059 --> 00:21:20,144

Tye: classes you can't make up, pe, um.

626

00:21:20,685 --> 00:21:24,251

Tye: So so I had zeros factored into my GPA for

627

00:21:24,311 --> 00:21:27,155

Tye: two semesters for my three elective classes

628

00:21:27,500 --> 00:21:30,169

Tye: and my GPA was just absolutely horrendous

629

00:21:30,700 --> 00:21:34,649

Tye: and and so, and so you know, ut basically,

630

00:21:34,789 --> 00:21:36,092

Tye: yeah, laughed me out of the admissions

631

00:21:36,193 --> 00:21:38,627

Tye: office and I thought about getting into

632

00:21:38,667 --> 00:21:41,438

Tye: other schools, but then, you know, I just

633

00:21:41,458 --> 00:21:43,285

Tye: decided I'll just focus on the film thing

634

00:21:43,305 --> 00:21:43,546

Tye: for now.

635

00:21:43,566 --> 00:21:44,268

Tye: Maybe come back to this.

636

00:21:44,460 --> 00:21:45,908

Marc: Yeah, maybe the serendipitous, maybe that

637

00:21:45,928 --> 00:21:47,697

Marc: was kind of like little nudge to say stick

638

00:21:47,717 --> 00:21:49,563

Marc: with it, you're doing great, you know yeah

639

00:21:50,164 --> 00:21:50,725

Marc: no, it was.

640

00:21:50,966 --> 00:21:53,191

Tye: I mean I've, and now it's funny, you know,

641

00:21:53,351 --> 00:21:56,684

Tye: I've, I've spoken to, you know a few of the

642

00:21:56,704 --> 00:21:58,508

Tye: professors there and a few of the classes

643

00:21:59,189 --> 00:22:02,561

Tye: you know at ut, which is, which is is cool,

644

00:22:02,581 --> 00:22:03,744

Tye: we've gone full circle.

645

00:22:03,844 --> 00:22:04,967

Marc: Well, you know, mcconaughey, you know you

646

00:22:05,007 --> 00:22:05,648

Marc: ever want to go back.

647

00:22:05,828 --> 00:22:07,512

Marc: You know I think he has got some pull there.

648

00:22:07,552 --> 00:22:10,038

Marc: You know that's what's kind of a neat full

649

00:22:10,120 --> 00:22:10,581

Marc: circle thing.

650

00:22:10,621 --> 00:22:12,065

Marc: I was telling my daughter last night doing

651

00:22:12,085 --> 00:22:14,050

Marc: the zach bryan video with him.

652

00:22:14,632 --> 00:22:16,286

Marc: You know, when you did mud that's one of

653

00:22:16,306 --> 00:22:17,572

Marc: your first, and now you're kind of back

654

00:22:17,592 --> 00:22:19,039

Marc: with him and uh he's.

655

00:22:19,139 --> 00:22:20,462

Marc: You know, my favorite thing is whenever I

656

00:22:20,502 --> 00:22:22,406

Marc: see a video pop up on youtube of him going

657

00:22:22,426 --> 00:22:23,969

Marc: through Whataburger or something like that.

658

00:22:24,069 --> 00:22:26,454

Marc: So it's uniquely Texan kind of.

659

00:22:26,540 --> 00:22:28,205

Marc: I have to ask you you're a Texan and my

660

00:22:28,245 --> 00:22:30,210

Marc: daughter is loving being here now because

661

00:22:30,230 --> 00:22:32,002

Marc: she went to Whataburger what's your

662

00:22:32,042 --> 00:22:33,308

Marc: favorite item on the menu there?

663

00:22:33,380 --> 00:22:35,365

Marc: I got to ask every Texan I talk to.

664

00:22:36,568 --> 00:22:37,230

Tye: At Whataburger.

665

00:22:37,691 --> 00:22:39,923

Tye: Oh yeah, I think it used to be the honey

666

00:22:39,943 --> 00:22:43,110

Tye: butter chicken biscuit, but I feel like

667

00:22:43,150 --> 00:22:44,693

Tye: it's gone downhill.

668

00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:49,602

Marc: The quality has gone downhill.

669

00:22:49,622 --> 00:22:50,444

Marc: Yeah, well, you know they did sell, I think,

670

00:22:50,464 --> 00:22:51,307

Marc: the majority interest or controlling

671

00:22:51,327 --> 00:22:52,941

Marc: interest in company chicago or something.

672

00:22:53,001 --> 00:22:54,925

Marc: But there's, there depends which one you go

673

00:22:54,965 --> 00:22:55,647

Marc: to these days.

674

00:22:55,807 --> 00:22:58,901

Marc: You know, yeah, every actor I've spoken

675

00:22:58,921 --> 00:23:00,828

Marc: with it's really weird high, high

676

00:23:00,848 --> 00:23:02,052

Marc: percentage under 30.

677

00:23:03,096 --> 00:23:04,420

Marc: A lot of them are from texas and you're the

678

00:23:04,460 --> 00:23:05,583

Marc: second one that said the honey butter

Marc: If you've ever been on the south by,

Marc: there's a real big, amazingly large deck,

688

Marc: you know, and she's been bartending so for

689

00:23:21,548 --> 00:23:23,992

Marc: an 18 year old this is kind of wild.

690

00:23:24,012 --> 00:23:25,114

Marc: But when she gets out of work the only

691

00:23:25,134 --> 00:23:26,055

Marc: thing open is Whataburger.

697

00:23:36,692 --> 00:23:48,554

00:23:56,461 --> 00:23:57,786

Marc: in on one of his projects.

703

00:23:59,110 --> 00:24:00,635

Marc: uh worked on a steven spielberg film a

705

00:24:03,584 --> 00:24:06,292

Marc: young guy, comparatively the other kind of

706

00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:07,624

Marc: things you've done, or just I've just

707

00:24:07,764 --> 00:24:08,607

Marc: general experience.

708

00:24:08,767 --> 00:24:10,401

Marc: I was curious what it was about or what it

709

00:24:10,441 --> 00:24:11,142

Marc: was like for you.

710

00:24:12,504 --> 00:24:17,652

Tye: Well, I mean he's touched pretty much any

711

00:24:18,434 --> 00:24:19,075

Tye: kid in the world.

Tye: his films.

714

00:24:21,745 --> 00:24:24,570

Tye: You know, I think I for sure wouldn't be

715

00:24:24,590 --> 00:24:29,324

Tye: the same kid without his films and I think

716

00:24:29,525 --> 00:24:31,570

Tye: for anybody working in this industry you

00:24:31,610 --> 00:24:35,487

Marc: directing style?

748

00:25:23,469 --> 00:25:25,653

Marc: Is he an easygoing guy or is he got a

749

00:25:25,693 --> 00:25:26,795

Marc: certain intensity on his set?

750

00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,207

Marc: Cause we all know him like Danny Ocean,

751

00:25:29,247 --> 00:25:30,711

Marc: chill, kind of George Clooney.

752

00:25:30,780 --> 00:25:32,226

Marc: But as a director, what's he like to work

753

00:25:32,266 --> 00:25:32,467

00:25:33,020 --> 00:25:33,802

00:25:36,188 --> 00:25:38,453

Tye: Yeah, he's, he knows what he wants.

00:25:39,660 --> 00:25:42,109

Tye: He, you know, shoots efficiently.

758

00:25:43,161 --> 00:25:46,170

Tye: He's kind of like amazing actors director

759

00:25:46,210 --> 00:25:49,286

Tye: because he's almost, it's almost like he's

760

Tye: acting the scene out with you.

761

00:25:51,091 --> 00:25:52,862

Tye: director I've ever worked with but he

00:25:58,125 --> 00:25:59,990

Tye: talked to me like no other director talked

765

00:26:00,010 --> 00:26:00,231

Tye: to me.

766

00:26:00,411 --> 00:26:01,795

Tye: You know, and sometimes it's like very

767

00:26:01,916 --> 00:26:05,387

Tye: simple terms, like you know that line, look

768

00:26:05,447 --> 00:26:07,472

Tye: down before you see it and then look back

769

00:26:07,552 --> 00:26:07,632

Tye: up.

770

00:26:07,712 --> 00:26:09,103

Tye: Trust me, it's an old movie star trick.

771

00:26:09,203 --> 00:26:12,712

Tye: You know stuff like that and it's.

772

00:26:13,201 --> 00:26:16,410

Tye: You know that was fun, you know, yes, it

773

00:26:16,430 --> 00:26:18,383

Tye: was like I felt like we were in the.

774

00:26:19,066 --> 00:26:20,961

Tye: You know, we're kind of in the same in the

775

00:26:21,001 --> 00:26:23,226

Tye: same boat the entire time, kind of going

776

00:26:23,246 --> 00:26:26,212

Tye: through it together in a way, which, which

777

00:26:26,232 --> 00:26:29,304

00:26:42,093 --> 00:26:42,721

Tye: make movies with.

783

00:26:43,202 --> 00:26:45,066

Marc: I would do it again in a Now you've been

784

00:26:45,106 --> 00:26:47,231

Marc: involved in producing stuff also, correct,

785

00:26:47,311 --> 00:26:47,873

Marc: have you?

786

00:26:47,893 --> 00:26:49,303

Marc: So you're, you're starting to get involved

787

00:26:49,344 --> 00:26:50,608

Marc: in kind of the you know the meat and

788

00:26:50,648 --> 00:26:52,145

Marc: potatoes get some movies made, have.

789

00:26:52,266 --> 00:26:54,597

Marc: Is that kind of where you're going?

790

00:26:54,617 --> 00:26:55,801

Marc: You think you know you want to get more

791

00:26:55,841 --> 00:26:57,402

Marc: involved in producing, maybe direct

792

00:26:57,442 --> 00:26:57,762

Marc: something.

793

00:26:58,463 --> 00:27:00,264

Tye: Yeah, I mean, I think, like I said, you

794

00:27:00,284 --> 00:27:02,186

Tye: know, when I, when I first walked onto a

795

00:27:02,226 --> 00:27:04,448

Tye: film set, the acting was just as new to me

796

00:27:05,168 --> 00:27:07,130

Tye: as everything else, and so, you know,

797

00:27:07,350 --> 00:27:09,632

Tye: entire filmmaking process has always been

798

00:27:09,672 --> 00:27:10,473

Tye: fascinating to me.

799

00:27:11,314 --> 00:27:13,175

Tye: You know, from day one, I wanted to know

800

00:27:13,576 --> 00:27:15,237

Tye: what everyone's role was, what they were

801

00:27:15,277 --> 00:27:21,622

Tye: doing, why it took so many people to make

802

00:27:21,642 --> 00:27:22,163

Tye: films, why it was so slow.

803

00:27:22,183 --> 00:27:23,045

Tye: And you know, having worked on small films

804

00:27:23,065 --> 00:27:23,907

Tye: and big films, I just am a curious guy,

805

00:27:23,947 --> 00:27:26,935

Tye: naturally, and I just was really curious

806

00:27:26,975 --> 00:27:28,884

Tye: about how do these big, how do these big

807

00:27:28,925 --> 00:27:31,191

Tye: movies work and how much, how much money do

808

00:27:31,211 --> 00:27:32,121

Tye: you need to to?

809

00:27:32,402 --> 00:27:35,069

Tye: You know, to have this, you know this

810

00:27:35,089 --> 00:27:37,082

Tye: amount of visual effects in your, your

811

00:27:37,122 --> 00:27:38,405

Tye: films, and why, and why does it?

812

00:27:39,427 --> 00:27:40,550

Tye: Why do you need so many artists?

813

00:27:40,590 --> 00:27:42,240

Tye: So I think, like all of these questions

814

00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,962

Tye: have really kind of influenced, you know,

815

00:27:45,002 --> 00:27:46,503

Tye: the work that I'm doing.

816

00:27:46,884 --> 00:27:50,947

Tye: You know, beyond acting, I'm producing a

817

00:27:50,987 --> 00:27:53,509

Tye: number of films, including this film that

818

00:27:53,529 --> 00:27:55,210

Tye: comes out at the end of the month Asphalt

819

00:27:55,230 --> 00:27:57,191

Tye: City, several years back, it's called

820

00:27:57,211 --> 00:28:07,862

Tye: Wonder Dynamics and essentially what we're

821

00:28:07,882 --> 00:28:09,924

Tye: doing is we're building AI-driven

822

00:28:09,944 --> 00:28:14,669

Tye: production tools that are really meant to

823

00:28:16,050 --> 00:28:20,215

Tye: make Hollywood-level effects more

824

00:28:20,315 --> 00:28:22,560

Tye: attainable for the indie filmmaker, so

825

00:28:22,601 --> 00:28:23,583

Tye: allowing indie filmmakers.

826

00:28:23,603 --> 00:28:25,007

Marc: Well that's that's fascinating that you

827

00:28:25,027 --> 00:28:26,712

Marc: jumped on top of that, because I'm not like.

828

00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,868

Marc: I just read Tyler Perry put on hold some

829

00:28:29,888 --> 00:28:30,710

Marc: studio development in.

830

00:28:30,770 --> 00:28:32,401

Marc: Atlanta because he doesn't know how some of

831

00:28:32,421 --> 00:28:34,969

Marc: this tech's going to overtake the need to

832

00:28:35,029 --> 00:28:35,952

Marc: have large studios.

833

00:28:36,881 --> 00:28:37,984

Tye: And it's moving so quickly.

834

00:28:38,084 --> 00:28:40,129

Tye: You know, I think and you have to be very

835

00:28:40,550 --> 00:28:42,463

Tye: you know it's it's it's a very sensitive

836

00:28:42,503 --> 00:28:45,150

Tye: topic in I all industries, but especially

837

00:28:45,191 --> 00:28:45,732

Tye: in Hollywood.

838

00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:51,904

Tye: I think artists feel threatened by AI and I

839

00:28:51,924 --> 00:28:55,311

Tye: think, for us my co-founder and I his name

840

00:28:55,351 --> 00:28:56,934

Tye: is Nikola we're both artists ourselves.

841

00:28:57,180 --> 00:28:58,726

Tye: He was a visual effects artist and then

842

00:28:58,766 --> 00:29:00,943

Tye: turned supervisor, and I obviously come

843

00:29:00,983 --> 00:29:09,601

Tye: from a background in acting, come from a

844

00:29:09,641 --> 00:29:10,704

Tye: background in acting, and so for us it was

845

00:29:10,724 --> 00:29:12,007

Tye: really important that we use AI and machine

846

00:29:12,067 --> 00:29:13,250

Tye: learning to support artists, not to replace

847

00:29:13,290 --> 00:29:15,582

Tye: them, and in July last year, we launched a

848

00:29:15,622 --> 00:29:17,626

Tye: product called Wonder Studio, which is a

849

00:29:17,666 --> 00:29:21,934

Tye: web-based cloud platform that essentially,

850

00:29:21,974 --> 00:29:25,289

Tye: you can upload any 2D video and extract the

851

00:29:25,349 --> 00:29:27,546

Tye: animation data, but not only the animation

852

00:29:27,607 --> 00:29:27,868

Tye: data.

853

00:29:27,908 --> 00:29:29,276

Tye: You can extract the lighting and your

854

00:29:29,316 --> 00:29:32,285

Tye: camera information and essentially build

855

00:29:32,305 --> 00:29:36,656

Tye: your visual effects shot and automate the

856

00:29:36,696 --> 00:29:40,986

Tye: process up to 80% so that it's more

857

00:29:41,107 --> 00:29:43,312

Tye: attainable for the indie filmmaker, so to

858

00:29:43,332 --> 00:29:45,266

Tye: speak, and then you can take that into 3d

859

00:29:45,286 --> 00:29:48,438

Tye: softwares and and continue working in the

860

00:29:48,458 --> 00:29:48,760

Tye: process.

861

00:29:48,860 --> 00:29:51,027

Tye: So it's not really like a black box or

862

00:29:51,067 --> 00:29:52,291

Tye: replacing artists in any way.

863

00:29:52,340 --> 00:29:53,905

Tye: It's really meant to support artists, if

864

00:29:53,965 --> 00:29:54,286

Tye: anything.

865

00:29:54,346 --> 00:29:57,061

Tye: But but yeah, and then you know.

866

00:29:57,122 --> 00:29:59,722

Tye: So it's, it's, it's all you know it's very

867

00:29:59,762 --> 00:30:08,560

Tye: pivotal time in our in our industry, and I

868

00:30:08,580 --> 00:30:09,686

Tye: think that we really need to be having

869

00:30:09,706 --> 00:30:10,710

Tye: conversations around what the future looks

870

00:30:10,730 --> 00:30:10,811

Tye: like.

871

00:30:10,831 --> 00:30:11,835

Tye: You know, and looking out on the horizon

872

00:30:11,855 --> 00:30:12,639

Tye: and trying to understand.

873

00:30:12,659 --> 00:30:14,364

Tye: You know where it's all going and how.

874

00:30:15,046 --> 00:30:17,472

Tye: You know we can think about our careers in

875

00:30:17,492 --> 00:30:19,301

Tye: the most ethical sense, in terms of you

876

00:30:19,321 --> 00:30:21,105

Tye: know not to stifle innovation but really,

877

00:30:21,125 --> 00:30:24,050

Tye: you know use it to to support artists right

878

00:30:24,090 --> 00:30:26,701

Tye: and tell better stories, and so, yeah, I

879

00:30:26,741 --> 00:30:30,021

Tye: think anything to that nature is is

880

00:30:30,463 --> 00:30:32,412

Tye: interesting and fascinating.

881

00:30:32,500 --> 00:30:33,365

Marc: I think it's fascinating.

882

00:30:33,406 --> 00:30:34,794

Marc: I mean the fact that you can actually um,

883

00:30:34,814 --> 00:30:36,684

Marc: you know I do it, like I said, a lot of

884

00:30:36,704 --> 00:30:38,936

Marc: voiceover and then, within that aspect of

885

00:30:38,977 --> 00:30:40,361

Marc: the industry, there's a lot of worry

886

00:30:40,461 --> 00:30:44,444

Marc: because it can, it can replace voice, but I

887

00:30:44,484 --> 00:30:47,046

Marc: always, like I tell, I teach students to

888

00:30:47,126 --> 00:30:48,907

Marc: teach voiceover as well and I said, listen,

889

00:30:49,628 --> 00:30:51,149

Marc: ever since I got into this over 30 years

890

00:30:51,189 --> 00:30:53,011

Marc: ago, it's always been authentic, natural,

891

00:30:53,211 --> 00:30:54,031

Marc: real person.

892

00:30:54,071 --> 00:30:56,674

Marc: People crave authenticity, I believe, and

893

00:30:56,694 --> 00:30:57,974

Marc: that's the reason why I don't think AI will

894

00:30:58,015 --> 00:31:00,396

Marc: ever replace in the sense that I think

895

00:31:00,416 --> 00:31:01,337

Marc: people are worried about.

896

00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:09,183

Marc: But there are still questions out there.

897

00:31:09,203 --> 00:31:10,126

Marc: You know, and I'd like you're saying it can

898

00:31:10,146 --> 00:31:10,969

Marc: supplement really well and give maybe

899

00:31:11,009 --> 00:31:12,173

Marc: people that the only barrier between where

900

00:31:12,194 --> 00:31:13,582

Marc: they're at and where they want to go be

901

00:31:13,602 --> 00:31:14,465

Marc: being finances.

902

00:31:14,525 --> 00:31:15,901

Marc: It sounds like what you're saying is this

903

00:31:15,921 --> 00:31:18,227

Marc: can kind of help them overcome that and

904

00:31:18,248 --> 00:31:19,901

Marc: maybe take some filmmakers who you may not

905

00:31:19,942 --> 00:31:20,826

Marc: hear about and give them.

906

00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,371

Marc: Is that kind of what you're looking at this

907

00:31:23,451 --> 00:31:25,541

Marc: as a way to kind of give people tools they

908

00:31:25,561 --> 00:31:26,303

Marc: wouldn't have otherwise?

909

00:31:26,885 --> 00:31:27,727

Tye: Yeah, exactly that's.

910

00:31:27,787 --> 00:31:29,372

Tye: That's definitely our mission at the

911

00:31:29,420 --> 00:31:29,781

Tye: company.

912

00:31:30,322 --> 00:31:32,386

Tye: Um, it was really try to democratize.

913

00:31:32,446 --> 00:31:36,074

Tye: You know, big stories for anybody, anywhere

914

00:31:36,540 --> 00:31:36,761

Tye: you know.

915

00:31:36,781 --> 00:31:38,104

Tye: So it's not so localized.

916

00:31:38,124 --> 00:31:40,389

Tye: You don't have to be, you know, in

917

00:31:40,429 --> 00:31:43,483

Tye: Hollywood to make these kinds of movies.

918

00:31:43,984 --> 00:31:46,630

Tye: Um, you can be anywhere in the world and I

919

00:31:46,670 --> 00:31:47,733

Tye: think that's.

920

00:31:48,662 --> 00:31:49,664

Tye: Yeah, it's really exciting.

921

00:31:49,684 --> 00:31:51,650

Marc: And you're in a creative industry, of

922

00:31:51,710 --> 00:31:55,113

Marc: course, but and you're very busy also but

923

00:31:55,153 --> 00:31:56,238

Marc: when you're not doing this, what are you

924

00:31:56,258 --> 00:31:56,459

Marc: doing?

925

00:31:56,479 --> 00:31:57,583

Marc: I mean, what are the things that are kind

926

00:31:57,623 --> 00:31:59,689

Marc: of keeping you captivated, you know, so

927

00:31:59,709 --> 00:32:01,963

Marc: you're not burning out on the uh, acting

928

00:32:02,023 --> 00:32:03,827

Marc: thing, um, what do you do?

929

00:32:03,887 --> 00:32:04,047

Marc: What?

930

00:32:04,268 --> 00:32:05,490

Marc: What kind of things are out there to keep

931

00:32:05,590 --> 00:32:07,114

Marc: some variety in your life?

932

00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,940

Tye: The acting thing is a very sweet gig, you

933

00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:13,504

Tye: know, if you just want to be an actor, it

934

00:32:13,544 --> 00:32:14,126

Tye: can be great.

935

00:32:16,223 --> 00:32:17,728

Tye: And I think for certain actors that reach a

936

00:32:17,768 --> 00:32:19,745

Tye: certain level, like you know, I have

937

00:32:19,766 --> 00:32:22,803

Tye: friends that you know they're actors and

938

00:32:22,904 --> 00:32:27,528

Tye: they're, you know, they have a very amazing

939

00:32:27,568 --> 00:32:29,302

Tye: body of work and they've reached a certain

940

00:32:29,342 --> 00:32:31,689

Tye: level in their career and that's all they

941

00:32:31,729 --> 00:32:32,752

Tye: want to do, that's all they.

942

00:32:33,260 --> 00:32:35,586

Tye: That's what they love doing and they're

943

00:32:35,606 --> 00:32:38,092

Tye: just looking for the next best script, you

944

00:32:38,112 --> 00:32:40,725

Tye: know, and they don't really care about

945

00:32:40,765 --> 00:32:42,308

Tye: anything else.

946

00:32:42,388 --> 00:32:44,091

Tye: You know that's the thing they love doing.

947

00:32:44,111 --> 00:32:46,175

Tye: About anything else, that's the thing they

948

00:32:46,195 --> 00:32:46,756

Tye: love doing.

949

00:32:46,776 --> 00:32:49,206

Tye: I think, for me, I'm kind of of the mind

950

00:32:49,267 --> 00:32:52,067

Tye: that in the school of thought that really

951

00:32:52,087 --> 00:32:54,863

Tye: the best opportunities come when you create

952

00:32:54,883 --> 00:32:55,586

Tye: them for yourselves.

953

00:32:57,225 --> 00:32:59,651

Tye: So I'm constantly asking myself how can I,

954

00:33:01,361 --> 00:33:06,310

Tye: you know, be uh procreative and uh, I think

955

00:33:06,810 --> 00:33:08,033

Tye: I'm, uh, I like to.

956

00:33:08,333 --> 00:33:09,801

Tye: I'm a kind of a workaholic, I like to be

957

00:33:09,821 --> 00:33:10,964

Tye: busy, you know.

958

00:33:11,004 --> 00:33:12,969

Tye: So the acting thing, just acting

959

00:33:13,009 --> 00:33:15,563

Tye: specifically, takes up very little of my

960

00:33:15,603 --> 00:33:15,843

Tye: time.

961

00:33:16,405 --> 00:33:18,449

Tye: Um, it's really only when I'm working on

962

00:33:18,509 --> 00:33:20,621

Tye: films or in preparation to go work on films,

963

00:33:21,283 --> 00:33:22,506

Tye: and then the rest of the time, you know, it

964

00:33:22,526 --> 00:33:24,191

Tye: was really kind of dedicated to my startup

965

00:33:24,621 --> 00:33:26,265

Tye: wonder dynamics, and then, you know,

966

00:33:26,285 --> 00:33:29,071

Tye: producing other projects as well and

967

00:33:29,372 --> 00:33:29,873

Tye: development.

968

00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,305

Tye: So I actually spend more time, you know,

969

00:33:32,385 --> 00:33:34,931

Tye: these days doing the startup thing and

970

00:33:35,412 --> 00:33:38,820

Tye: developing projects than I do acting.

971

00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,084

Marc: Well, it's funny what you said about the

972

00:33:40,104 --> 00:33:41,989

Marc: thing about acting, having to be I don't

973

00:33:42,009 --> 00:33:43,231

Marc: think it's easy, I'm not saying that, but

974

00:33:43,251 --> 00:33:44,132

Marc: you know, if you're a director director,

975

00:33:44,152 --> 00:33:45,693

Marc: you've married yourself to a project for

976

00:33:45,753 --> 00:33:46,473

Marc: well over a year.

977

00:33:46,573 --> 00:33:48,835

Marc: You know, uh, but acting, I was speaking to

978

00:33:48,875 --> 00:33:50,116

Marc: the uh, anya Savchich.

979

00:33:50,396 --> 00:33:51,957

Marc: She was on the show with Ron Livingston, uh,

980

00:33:52,157 --> 00:33:52,697

Marc: loudermilk.

981

00:33:53,218 --> 00:33:54,662

Marc: Well, because she said he had made this

982

00:33:54,702 --> 00:33:56,708

Marc: comment to her like she's like something

983

00:33:56,728 --> 00:33:57,470

Marc: about directing, doing.

984

00:33:57,510 --> 00:33:58,761

Marc: He's like no, I like the acting thing.

985

00:33:58,821 --> 00:34:00,685

Marc: Show up, do my thing, get to leave.

986

00:34:01,005 --> 00:34:03,590

Marc: You know that's yeah, in a way, it's it's.

987

00:34:03,950 --> 00:34:06,034

Marc: You know it's relative, relatively

988

00:34:06,094 --> 00:34:07,363

Marc: stress-free and you look at the people

989

00:34:07,403 --> 00:34:08,867

Marc: having to like, look at budgets and all

990

00:34:08,908 --> 00:34:09,690

Marc: that other kind of stuff.

991

00:34:09,720 --> 00:34:11,284

Marc: You'd show up and have some fun.

992

00:34:11,384 --> 00:34:13,329

Marc: But, um, the things that you're doing

993

00:34:13,890 --> 00:34:14,813

Marc: intrigue you and stuff.

994

00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:16,785

Marc: But like, would you have any like outside

00:34:24,225 --> 00:34:25,749

Tye: I used to have a lot more time for hobbies.

00:34:32,820 --> 00:34:33,563

Tye: You know, these days I'm pretty much

00:34:33,583 --> 00:34:34,467

Tye: working a lot, but but yeah, no, I'm a, I'm

Tye: I like to travel alone.

00:34:40,985 --> 00:34:41,605

Marc: Snowboarding.

00:34:50,356 --> 00:34:52,722

Marc: When you travel with someone else, you got

00:34:52,742 --> 00:34:54,246

Marc: to make sure your itinerary kind of

00:34:54,266 --> 00:34:55,790

Marc: something they want to do also, you know,

00:34:55,810 --> 00:34:56,841

Marc: but you're on your own, you're.

00:34:56,962 --> 00:34:58,760

Marc: You're kind of you're more of an explorer.

00:34:58,860 --> 00:35:00,141

Tye: You're out there on your own just checking

00:35:00,161 --> 00:35:02,583

Tye: stuff out, but yeah, maybe it sounds

00:35:02,623 --> 00:35:06,145

Tye: selfish, but you get to do what you want to

00:35:06,185 --> 00:35:09,248

Tye: do and no one else can chime in.

00:35:09,548 --> 00:35:10,929

Marc: Well, you're kind of in your own headspace

00:35:10,989 --> 00:35:13,311

Marc: exploring, and I think as an artist.

00:35:13,591 --> 00:35:14,772

Marc: That informs you a little bit.

00:35:14,832 --> 00:35:15,693

Tye: That's exactly right.

00:35:15,913 --> 00:35:17,434

Marc: You're making me want to go look at a map.

00:35:17,474 --> 00:35:18,074

Marc: I didn't realize.

00:35:18,114 --> 00:35:20,496

Marc: I thought the Trinity River just ran south.

00:35:20,576 --> 00:35:22,337

Marc: I didn't know it traveled into East Texas.

00:35:26,820 --> 00:35:28,447

Tye: Now I've got to go look at that Southeast

00:35:28,468 --> 00:35:28,689

Tye: from Dallas.

00:35:28,709 --> 00:35:30,216

Tye: So the headwaters start northwest of Dallas

00:35:30,300 --> 00:35:35,573

Tye: and then it dumps out into the Gulf Coast.

00:35:36,100 --> 00:35:37,851

Marc: Are you any relation at all to?

00:35:37,932 --> 00:35:39,541

Marc: I have to ask Taylor Sheridan because I

00:35:39,562 --> 00:35:40,807

Marc: know he's in the neck of the woods.

00:35:41,341 --> 00:35:42,223

Marc: Any relation at all.

00:35:44,189 --> 00:35:45,883

Tye: I don't know, I don't think so.

00:35:46,504 --> 00:35:50,320

Tye: Um, we, yeah, I don't, I don't, I don't

00:35:50,421 --> 00:35:50,862

Tye: think so.

00:35:50,942 --> 00:35:54,310

Marc: His, his folks, I think, are from waco, but

00:35:54,350 --> 00:35:56,201

Marc: maybe, maybe, somewhere down the line well,

00:35:56,221 --> 00:35:57,423

Marc: it's interesting because when they shot was

00:35:57,463 --> 00:36:01,973

Marc: 1883, uh, they actually shot it where you

00:36:01,993 --> 00:36:04,185

Marc: know it, like they were going across the

00:36:04,225 --> 00:36:05,710

Marc: red river and all that kind of jazz.

00:36:05,730 --> 00:36:07,286

Marc: I was like they really kept it true to you

00:36:07,306 --> 00:36:08,129

Marc: know where they were shooting.

00:36:08,250 --> 00:36:10,780

Marc: But I want to touch on the project you're

00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:11,482

Marc: working on.

00:36:11,582 --> 00:36:14,489

Marc: Is this your first Asphalt City?

00:36:14,529 --> 00:36:16,493

Marc: Is this the first project you've produced?

00:36:16,980 --> 00:36:19,306

Tye: This is the second or third project that

00:36:19,326 --> 00:36:20,289

Tye: I've produced.

00:36:21,793 --> 00:36:24,140

Tye: Yeah, and then I have a lot of projects

00:36:24,180 --> 00:36:25,084

Tye: that are in the pipeline that I'm producing

00:36:25,104 --> 00:36:25,747

Tye: that are really in development.

00:36:25,767 --> 00:36:26,490

Tye: But, yeah, and then I have a lot of

00:36:26,510 --> 00:36:27,575

Tye: projects that are in the pipeline that I'm

00:36:27,595 --> 00:36:28,800

Tye: producing that are really in development.

00:36:29,421 --> 00:36:32,528

Tye: But, yeah, asphalt City has been, you know,

00:36:32,708 --> 00:36:34,853

Tye: a labor of love for a really long time.

00:36:36,344 --> 00:36:37,728

Tye: I first got involved with the project back

00:36:37,748 --> 00:36:38,471

Tye: in 2018.

00:36:39,620 --> 00:36:41,884

Tye: And it's helmed by this director,

00:36:41,924 --> 00:36:43,006

Tye: jean-stefan Salver, helmed by this director,

00:36:43,486 --> 00:36:44,087

Tye: jean-stefane Salver.

00:36:44,128 --> 00:36:45,790

Tye: He's a French filmmaker and he's made these

00:36:45,830 --> 00:36:48,575

Tye: incredible movies like Johnny Mad Dog,

00:36:54,540 --> 00:36:55,262

Tye: which was about child soldiers in a

00:36:55,282 --> 00:36:56,486

Tye: nondescript country in Africa, and then he

00:36:56,546 --> 00:36:58,371

Tye: made this movie called A Prayer Before Dawn,

00:36:59,322 --> 00:37:01,349

Tye: which is incredible about this English

00:37:01,730 --> 00:37:04,559

Tye: boxer who gets trapped in a prison in

00:37:04,579 --> 00:37:06,525

Tye: Thailand and joins an inner prison boxing

00:37:06,585 --> 00:37:08,982

Tye: ring, and so he's he's kind of made these

00:37:09,062 --> 00:37:13,842

Tye: very visceral, hyper real movies of, you

00:37:13,862 --> 00:37:15,947

Tye: know, these unique worlds, and he's a true

00:37:16,188 --> 00:37:16,629

Tye: auteur.

00:37:17,731 --> 00:37:20,293

Tye: And uh, and so, yeah, we, we, you know we

00:37:20,514 --> 00:37:22,546

Tye: first, you know, I first got involved with

00:37:22,566 --> 00:37:24,033

Tye: the project in the early stages back in

00:37:24,053 --> 00:37:24,756

Tye: 2018.

00:37:25,801 --> 00:37:26,764

Tye: And uh, and then, yeah, sometimes, you know,

00:37:26,784 --> 00:37:27,707

Tye: I first got involved with the project in

00:37:27,727 --> 00:37:28,790

Tye: the early stages, back in 2018.

00:37:28,850 --> 00:37:30,636

Tye: And then, yeah, sometimes you know it takes

00:37:30,656 --> 00:37:31,880

Tye: a long time to get these projects made.

00:37:31,980 --> 00:37:36,843

Tye: But, yeah, we premiered the movie in Cannes

00:37:37,004 --> 00:37:40,046

Tye: at competition last year and movies about

00:37:40,386 --> 00:37:42,027

Tye: paramedics in New York City in New York

00:37:42,047 --> 00:37:42,587

Tye: City.

00:37:42,607 --> 00:37:44,449

Tye: So, obviously, you know, really, really

00:37:44,509 --> 00:37:47,891

Tye: important subject and kind of I think,

00:37:48,111 --> 00:37:51,294

Tye: really shines a light on medics and you

00:37:51,314 --> 00:37:53,055

Tye: know the role that they play in our society,

00:37:53,095 --> 00:37:54,796

Tye: how important they are and like some of the

00:37:54,836 --> 00:37:56,858

Tye: trauma that they face on a daily level.

00:37:57,078 --> 00:38:03,441

Tye: You know, I don't think people really

00:38:03,461 --> 00:38:03,742

Tye: understand it.

00:38:03,762 --> 00:38:04,523

Tye: You know I don't think people totally

00:38:04,543 --> 00:38:05,344

Tye: understand what they go through.

00:38:05,485 --> 00:38:06,707

Tye: It's a very close look at you know these

00:38:06,767 --> 00:38:08,650

Tye: medics and it's really about you know a

00:38:08,690 --> 00:38:12,282

Tye: young, a young rookie medic who I play, who

00:38:12,322 --> 00:38:14,129

Tye: gets partnered, comes in and he's new on

00:38:14,149 --> 00:38:16,579

Tye: the job and he's working in East New York

00:38:16,599 --> 00:38:17,764

Tye: and he gets partnered with this veteran

00:38:17,804 --> 00:38:20,214

Tye: medic who's Sean Penn, and so it's really

00:38:20,254 --> 00:38:22,422

Tye: about their, their relationship and kind of

00:38:22,462 --> 00:38:25,027

Tye: going through the in the trenches together.

00:38:25,588 --> 00:38:27,472

Marc: Yeah, they live a very unique life and it's

00:38:27,492 --> 00:38:28,662

Marc: funny what you said and I think you're

00:38:28,682 --> 00:38:30,227

Marc: alluding to the kind of the stress they

00:38:30,247 --> 00:38:31,842

Marc: potentially take at home how it colors your

00:38:31,883 --> 00:38:32,103

Marc: life.

00:38:32,143 --> 00:38:34,871

Marc: I had a good friend who I went to school

00:38:34,911 --> 00:38:36,774

Marc: with, who was a flight medical care flight,

00:38:37,258 --> 00:38:37,981

Marc: and you know in.

00:38:38,302 --> 00:38:39,185

Marc: East Dallas area.

00:38:39,225 --> 00:38:41,171

Marc: You know you have a really bad accident.

00:38:41,300 --> 00:38:42,042

Marc: They send a helicopter.

00:38:42,062 --> 00:38:43,988

Marc: Car accidents, yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,

00:38:44,730 --> 00:38:47,261

Marc: um accident.

00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:48,900

Marc: They sent a helicopter.

00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:49,116

Marc: A lot of car accidents, yeah, oh, yeah,

00:38:49,055 --> 00:38:49,249

Marc: yeah, yeah, um, and he, you know, I, I went

00:38:49,188 --> 00:38:49,765

Marc: to one of their get-togethers, a little

00:38:49,704 --> 00:38:50,601

Marc: party, and they had, you know, some firemen,

00:38:50,621 --> 00:38:52,589

Marc: flight medics and uh, you can kind of tell

00:38:52,650 --> 00:38:54,558

Marc: that there was lots of steam that was

00:38:54,578 --> 00:38:55,341

Marc: getting blown off.

00:38:55,561 --> 00:38:56,604

Marc: You know, because of the thing is,

00:38:56,905 --> 00:38:58,268

Marc: especially these flight medics they see

00:38:58,308 --> 00:38:58,629

Marc: stuff.

00:38:59,171 --> 00:39:01,163

Marc: I mean they're basically giving, uh, you,

00:39:01,203 --> 00:39:02,205

Marc: of course you did this film.

00:39:02,346 --> 00:39:05,052

Marc: You know there's certain latitude that the

00:39:05,092 --> 00:39:09,323

Marc: paramedics have, but the flight medics it's

00:39:09,343 --> 00:39:10,288

Marc: whatever they need to do to keep you alive.

00:39:10,308 --> 00:39:11,253

Marc: You know they don't need to get approval

00:39:11,273 --> 00:39:11,937

Marc: for as much stuff, I think, as the

00:39:11,957 --> 00:39:13,081

Marc: paramedics do for certain procedures.

00:39:13,603 --> 00:39:14,585

Marc: But he would tell me stories.

00:39:14,625 --> 00:39:17,351

Marc: I'm like, wow, how do you come home and

00:39:17,412 --> 00:39:20,023

Marc: come down from that every day, especially

00:39:20,524 --> 00:39:22,808

Marc: like this film takes place in New York.

00:39:23,088 --> 00:39:25,311

Marc: There's a whole lot more going on there.

00:39:25,432 --> 00:39:26,593

Marc: Did you shoot it in New York?

00:39:26,874 --> 00:39:29,365

Tye: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we were, yeah,

00:39:29,646 --> 00:39:30,409

Tye: very much in New York.

00:39:31,240 --> 00:39:33,144

Marc: What did you learn after playing a medic

00:39:33,184 --> 00:39:35,008

Marc: that you didn't know about being a medic or

00:39:35,048 --> 00:39:37,473

Marc: the process that was very intriguing for

00:39:37,493 --> 00:39:37,594

Marc: you?

00:39:37,841 --> 00:39:39,545

Tye: Well, because of the nature of

00:39:39,825 --> 00:39:42,291

Tye: Jean-Stefan's films, the camera sees

00:39:42,412 --> 00:39:43,500

Tye: everything you know there's.

00:39:43,541 --> 00:39:45,443

Tye: No, it has to look real.

00:39:45,463 --> 00:39:47,246

Tye: It has to be real, and so we spent.

00:39:47,667 --> 00:39:50,511

Tye: I spent years doing ride-alongs with medics

00:39:50,551 --> 00:39:50,911

Tye: in New York.

00:39:51,172 --> 00:39:52,394

Marc: Really no kidding.

00:39:52,814 --> 00:39:53,415

Marc: Oh yeah, yeah.

00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:57,729

Tye: Yeah, so we would travel in New York and we

00:39:57,749 --> 00:39:59,152

Tye: worked with a lot of medics at Wyckoff

00:39:59,172 --> 00:40:03,188

Tye: Hospital in Brooklyn and they were amazing.

00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:07,684

Tye: They were kind of our advisors through this

00:40:07,704 --> 00:40:08,528

Tye: process and would take us on ride alongs

00:40:08,548 --> 00:40:09,332

Tye: and so you know they don't, they don't

00:40:09,352 --> 00:40:09,633

Tye: really.

00:40:09,915 --> 00:40:10,980

Tye: You know it was cool about the medic

00:40:11,081 --> 00:40:12,260

Tye: community, the MS community.

00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:15,047

Tye: It was like you know they're so excited.

00:40:15,247 --> 00:40:16,731

Tye: You know that you're making a film.

00:40:17,112 --> 00:40:19,686

Tye: You know it kind of conveys the life that

00:40:19,706 --> 00:40:21,752

Tye: they live on a everyday basis.

00:40:26,180 --> 00:40:26,562

Tye: Um, but they don't.

00:40:26,582 --> 00:40:27,526

Tye: They don't treat you like an actor or

00:40:27,546 --> 00:40:28,350

Tye: something like that, like they just throw

00:40:28,370 --> 00:40:29,455

Tye: you the, you know the oxygen tank and

00:40:29,475 --> 00:40:31,142

Tye: they're like carry this up, you know and

00:40:31,262 --> 00:40:32,767

Tye: and and then you get and.

00:40:32,787 --> 00:40:35,055

Tye: So what's amazing about medics?

00:40:35,115 --> 00:40:36,660

Tye: It's like you never know what call you're

00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:37,362

Tye: going to walk into.

00:40:37,462 --> 00:40:41,291

Tye: Like the call comes in and it could be a

00:40:41,371 --> 00:40:42,841

Tye: shooting, it could be a car accident, it

00:40:42,861 --> 00:40:44,644

Tye: could be somebody having chest pains, it

00:40:44,724 --> 00:40:46,587

Tye: could be someone who's drunk on the

00:40:46,607 --> 00:40:48,610

Tye: sidewalk and sleep you never know.

00:40:49,411 --> 00:40:54,004

Tye: And so you, you find yourself immersed in

00:40:55,125 --> 00:40:58,431

Tye: these people's homes and in their worst

00:40:58,491 --> 00:40:58,912

Tye: moments.

00:40:59,312 --> 00:41:00,714

Tye: A lot of times, you know.

00:41:00,755 --> 00:41:02,641

Tye: So you're, you're, you're very close with

00:41:02,661 --> 00:41:03,802

Tye: someone and a lot of times your

00:41:04,002 --> 00:41:06,405

Tye: responsibility is to keep them alive Did

00:41:06,425 --> 00:41:08,006

Tye: you ever watch that TV show as a kid

00:41:08,086 --> 00:41:08,787

Tye: Emergency.

00:41:08,847 --> 00:41:10,068

Marc: It came out in the 70s.

00:41:11,149 --> 00:41:14,252

Marc: Oh, it was Randolph Mantooth.

00:41:14,692 --> 00:41:18,395

Marc: It was an offshoot of, I think, adam 12.

00:41:18,435 --> 00:41:19,997

Marc: I mean, we're going way, way back.

00:41:27,900 --> 00:41:29,123

Marc: But the interesting thing is that the whole

00:41:29,143 --> 00:41:30,104

Marc: medic thing was not even really a thing.

00:41:30,124 --> 00:41:31,086

Marc: It really is a much newer idea, you know,

00:41:31,126 --> 00:41:33,531

Marc: from the early late 60s, early 70s on.

00:41:33,731 --> 00:41:34,052

Marc: You know.

00:41:34,653 --> 00:41:36,102

Marc: You know, one of the things that I think is

00:41:56,561 --> 00:41:58,145

Marc: What did you pick up on from the medics?

00:41:58,806 --> 00:42:00,931

Tye: community.

00:42:09,369 --> 00:42:11,960

Tye: Um, yeah, to distill it into one thing, I'm

00:42:11,980 --> 00:42:14,225

Tye: not really sure what that would be, but but

00:42:14,245 --> 00:42:17,793

Tye: the plane.

00:46:39,550 --> 00:46:40,894

Marc: I've got to go check out his stuff now.

00:46:52,240 --> 00:46:56,423

Tye: Yeah, I mean, I don't know, maybe

00:46:56,483 --> 00:46:58,945

Tye: Shakespeare would be on that list, Maybe

00:46:59,005 --> 00:46:59,748

Tye: even Aristotle.

00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,286

Marc: You know what they call the salons, the old

00:47:03,367 --> 00:47:04,423

Marc: Greek times.

00:47:04,443 --> 00:47:05,949

Tye: I don't know.

00:47:26,010 --> 00:47:27,353

Tye: It's going back to my teenage brain.

00:47:29,942 --> 00:47:32,187

Marc: That can be a fun odyssey occasionally.

00:47:32,227 --> 00:47:34,493

Tye: Oh yeah, I don't know.

00:47:35,604 --> 00:47:37,089

00:47:40,729 --> 00:47:42,900

Marc: right out of the gate, the professional.

00:47:43,361 --> 00:47:46,650

Marc: The first big role she had was just a

00:47:46,730 --> 00:47:47,411

Marc: killer film.

00:47:47,632 --> 00:47:48,782

Marc: It's so funny seeing natalie portman.

00:47:48,803 --> 00:47:50,727

Marc: There's a generation that only knows her as

00:47:50,827 --> 00:47:52,030

Marc: the uh from star wars.

00:47:52,812 --> 00:47:54,364

Tye: maybe, maybe, maybe a zeppelin album- very

00:49:02,688 --> 00:49:03,349

Tye: good, very good, very good.

00:49:03,950 --> 00:49:06,655

Marc: Well, next question If you were to define a

00:49:06,720 --> 00:49:08,268

Marc: perfect day beginning to end, from time to

00:49:08,288 --> 00:49:10,098

Marc: get up, time to go to sleep, what are the

00:49:10,138 --> 00:49:12,244

Marc: component parts of a perfect day for you?

00:49:13,206 --> 00:49:15,631

Tye: Well, not sleeping through your alarm to

00:49:15,671 --> 00:49:16,914

Tye: start is really good.

00:49:18,781 --> 00:49:20,363

Marc: So you're a snooze button hitter kind of a

00:49:20,403 --> 00:49:20,623

Marc: guy.

00:49:21,064 --> 00:49:23,027

Tye: Not really, not really.

00:49:23,047 --> 00:49:24,630

Tye: Um well, I mean Not really, not really.

00:49:24,650 --> 00:49:26,533

Tye: Um well, I mean, sometimes I can, I can, I

00:49:26,553 --> 00:49:33,361

Tye: can, I can snooze, but uh, but yeah, no,

00:49:33,381 --> 00:49:33,501

Tye: I've.

00:49:33,521 --> 00:49:34,364

Tye: I've had it before when you're super busy

00:49:34,384 --> 00:49:35,366

Tye: and you just, I mean you just, or the alarm

00:49:35,386 --> 00:49:36,790

Tye: doesn't, you know the ringer doesn't go off,

00:49:36,890 --> 00:49:38,141

Tye: or you don't hear it, or something like

00:49:38,181 --> 00:49:38,301

Tye: that.

00:49:38,341 --> 00:49:39,242

Tye: That's, that's never good.

00:49:39,483 --> 00:49:40,565

Tye: Waking up late is never good.

00:49:41,626 --> 00:49:45,072

Tye: Um, but but yeah, I think, yeah well, you

00:49:45,092 --> 00:49:47,095

Tye: know, getting getting getting good rest,

00:49:48,222 --> 00:49:50,608

Tye: getting sunshine in the morning, moving

00:49:50,628 --> 00:49:56,684

Tye: your body, uh, and yeah, and then a perfect

00:49:56,724 --> 00:49:59,651

Tye: day, like in the work world or the, you

00:49:59,671 --> 00:50:00,593

Tye: know, the leisure world.

00:50:01,521 --> 00:50:02,384

Marc: Oh, just just in life.

00:50:02,444 --> 00:50:03,908

Tye: You know, like I've I've had a number of

00:50:03,948 --> 00:50:20,529

Tye: people mention, you know they go through

00:50:20,549 --> 00:50:22,510

Tye: the ritual of making coffee in the morning

00:50:22,670 --> 00:50:26,512

Tye: and then they're somewhere to exercise or

00:50:26,552 --> 00:50:27,072

Tye: yoganess.

00:50:28,053 --> 00:50:29,674

Tye: You know, whether that's through your

00:50:29,734 --> 00:50:34,296

Tye: workout or your sport, or you know, hunting

00:50:34,356 --> 00:50:36,778

Tye: or fishing or anything, camping, hiking,

00:50:36,898 --> 00:50:39,106

Tye: anything like that, I think it's, it's, for

00:50:39,146 --> 00:50:40,741

Tye: me, perfect, you know it's.

00:50:41,342 --> 00:50:45,749

Tye: I love the escaping my my own thoughts and

00:50:45,770 --> 00:50:47,573

Tye: really, just, really just finding the

00:50:47,613 --> 00:50:47,993

Tye: stillness.

00:50:48,134 --> 00:50:49,563

Marc: So that's that would be the perfect day for

00:50:49,583 --> 00:50:49,783

Marc: me.

00:50:50,285 --> 00:50:51,589

Marc: Last couple of questions is if you weren't

00:50:51,609 --> 00:50:53,463

Marc: doing this, if you weren't finding the

00:50:53,544 --> 00:50:55,248

Marc: success and joy in doing this, what would

00:50:55,289 --> 00:50:56,332

Marc: you be doing for a living?

00:50:57,120 --> 00:51:00,485

Tye: Yeah, I think about that often, um, and I

00:51:00,545 --> 00:51:04,190

Tye: don't know if I have, like, uh, an answer,

00:51:04,771 --> 00:51:09,317

Tye: um, but yeah, I don't know.

00:51:09,397 --> 00:51:11,380

Tye: I still, like, I've always been a creative

00:51:11,580 --> 00:51:11,881

Tye: type.

00:51:12,482 --> 00:51:14,727

Tye: Uh, I think, you know, maybe I would have

00:51:14,747 --> 00:51:17,153

Tye: found some form of storytelling if it

00:51:17,173 --> 00:51:19,808

Tye: wasn't, if it wasn't film, I'd like to

00:51:19,848 --> 00:51:20,270

Tye: think that.

00:51:20,752 --> 00:51:22,639

Tye: But then again, maybe it's you know, maybe

00:51:22,659 --> 00:51:24,786

Tye: it would be some kind of adventure or a

00:51:24,846 --> 00:51:26,331

Tye: hunting guide or something like that.

00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:27,464

Marc: It's definitely going to be outside

00:51:27,505 --> 00:51:28,007

Marc: something or other.

00:51:29,381 --> 00:51:31,266

Marc: The last question is 16-year-old you.

00:51:31,366 --> 00:51:32,669

Marc: You're going to jump into DeLorean and go

00:51:32,729 --> 00:51:33,992

Marc: talk to 16-year-old Ty.

00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:35,683

Marc: What's that piece of advice?

00:51:35,924 --> 00:51:37,769

Marc: Or knowledge, or guidance either, to put

00:51:37,789 --> 00:51:40,397

Marc: you on a little bit different path, maybe

00:51:40,437 --> 00:51:41,580

Marc: make that moment of your life better.

00:51:41,700 --> 00:51:43,427

Marc: What's that piece of advice to 16-year-old

00:51:43,467 --> 00:51:43,588

Marc: you?

00:51:44,101 --> 00:51:48,975

Tye: moment of your life better.

00:51:48,995 --> 00:51:50,640

Tye: What's that piece of advice to 16 year old

00:51:50,660 --> 00:51:55,611

Tye: you, you know you don't have to.

00:51:56,053 --> 00:51:56,837

Tye: You don't have to.

00:51:56,897 --> 00:51:57,379

Tye: It's not a race.

00:52:01,300 --> 00:52:02,342

Tye: You don't have to stack it all up on your

00:52:02,382 --> 00:52:02,904

Tye: plate at one time.

00:52:02,924 --> 00:52:03,365

Tye: You know you can.

00:52:03,385 --> 00:52:04,227

Tye: You can afford to enjoy and not give

00:52:04,247 --> 00:52:05,930

Tye: yourself too many responsibilities at one

00:52:05,970 --> 00:52:06,231

Tye: time.

00:52:07,634 --> 00:52:09,022

Tye: Uh, I think that would be the advice

00:52:09,062 --> 00:52:09,503

Tye: probably.

00:52:09,965 --> 00:52:10,366

Marc: Very good.

00:52:10,386 --> 00:52:12,471

Marc: Well, my friend, I appreciate you spending

Marc: I really do, and I love your work.

00:52:14,772 --> 00:52:16,180

Marc: I will say that I just watched the Voyagers

00:52:16,300 --> 00:52:16,681

Marc: the other day.

00:52:16,721 --> 00:52:18,306

Marc: Again, thank you, man, I appreciate that,

Marc: thank you.

00:52:19,268 --> 00:52:20,941

Marc: I think Voyagers is one of the one of the

00:52:21,462 --> 00:52:21,583

Marc: it's.

00:52:21,743 --> 00:52:22,907

Marc: It's such a great story.

00:52:22,947 --> 00:52:26,221

Marc: just want to throw that back out that

00:52:27,106 --> 00:52:27,991

Marc: actors when, even when you don't have

00:52:29,278 --> 00:52:31,205
