00:00 Yeah, the biggest thing about this movie that made me want to jump on board was the sci-fi,
00:05 honestly.
00:06 I'm a huge fan of sci-fi movies, except this isn't necessarily one of those where it's
00:13 in the traditional sense.
00:15 We're not coming in blazing at the aliens.
00:18 We are trying to reason with the aliens through art.
00:21 So it's an interesting take on it, but I think one that a lot of people would enjoy.
00:25 Yeah, I play Adam Campbell.
00:28 Adam is a loner, man.
00:34 He is.
00:35 He has no friends.
00:37 He's stuck with, or not stuck with, he loves them, but honestly it kind of sometimes feels
00:41 like he's stuck down there on Earth with his mom and his sister.
00:46 Yeah, I mean, really the biggest thing that's in his way is trying to figure out how they're
00:52 going to survive.
00:53 The aliens kind of completely wiped out everything that us as human beings are used to.
00:58 So he has to adjust.
01:00 Yeah, so we're in 2031.
01:05 What has happened?
01:06 Well, aliens touched down on Earth.
01:09 Apparently, you know, they had been watching us for 50 plus years before they made themselves
01:15 known.
01:18 But yeah, they touched down and essentially what they tried to do was say, "Okay, I can,
01:24 or we can provide you guys with some resources and in turn you guys won't ever have to work
01:29 a day in your life again because our machines are just automated.
01:33 They kind of make everything a lot easier."
01:37 And what ended up happening from that was, well, you guys are going to have to see.
01:43 Aliens actually saw how we were destroying our own planet and were like, "We need to
01:47 come in and save these guys," which, you know, honestly might happen any day now in real
01:51 life.
01:52 His family really doesn't have anything.
01:54 Nobody's working.
01:55 And it's not even really just his family.
01:57 I mean, that's kind of how the conditions are for everybody on Earth.
02:00 So there's a shared experience.
02:02 And I don't know, we kind of end up forming a love story out of being broke.
02:12 Chloe is Adam's classmate.
02:14 They eventually, you know, become romantic partners.
02:19 And yeah, they meet at school.
02:21 They meet at school.
02:22 Chloe has an idea because she's just as broke as Adam.
02:26 She was just living under the bridge.
02:27 And I don't know, I think Adam was being a little thirsty and invited her to come live
02:31 at his house with him.
02:33 So they start forming a relationship around that.
02:39 And Chloe has the idea to broadcast their relationship to the aliens, basically start
02:46 a TV show about their love so that they can make money.
02:49 And like, yeah, they start making bank, but at what cost, you know?
02:55 I think Mr. Riley sees potential in Adam from the first day that he walks into that art
02:59 classroom, you know.
03:00 He's—because Adam is already very passionate and very eager to be able to just create,
03:05 you know.
03:06 He's been doing it since he was young.
03:07 And Mr. Riley is a character where he doesn't necessarily know how to bring those elements
03:14 out of himself, which is why he decides, "Okay, this kid got it."
03:18 Like, he knows what he's doing, so let me try to foster that.
03:21 Let me try to nurture this."
03:23 And you know, I kind of see—or as Mr. Riley would say, I kind of see this kid being somewhere
03:28 someday.
03:29 I feel like I'm just quoting right out of the screenplay now.
03:34 But like, seriously, we've lost a lot, for real, in these past few years.
03:41 And none of us knew that it would be like this, but I think that we've quickly realized,
03:46 you know, quicker than it might take a lot of different species to adapt, but we quickly
03:51 realized like we can't just sit in bed all day like we wanted to when the pandemic first
03:56 started.
03:57 You know, we kind of got to figure out how to dust off our shoulders and, you know, get
04:01 back in the ring.
04:04 Adam was living the life before the V.U.V.E. came.
04:06 He was, you know.
04:07 He was young, you know, naive, and had a great family, great household.
04:12 You know, they weren't struggling.
04:14 But you know, especially when you're young, like something like that is flipped completely
04:18 on his head, he starts to question a lot of things about reality, you know, about what's
04:22 really real, you know, especially if things can be snatched just like that.
04:26 So yeah, he's marching forward.
04:30 Kylie's hilarious, and she doesn't even know it.
04:33 Like, she has the funniest little mannerisms, and I always make fun of her for it.
04:39 But no, she's great.
04:40 She's great.
04:41 And I don't know, we've become good friends throughout this process.
04:44 And yeah, I mean, honestly, yeah, hopefully we get to work on something else one day,
04:48 because she's super cool.
04:50 Corey is very detail-oriented, you know, and that's something that I really enjoy, because
04:58 he kind of makes the process of shooting way less stressful, honestly.
05:05 Yeah, and honestly, he's just a good guy.
05:08 He's cool.
05:09 They can expect to be talking about it for a while, you know, because I think it feels
05:14 like one of those movies that, like I said, nobody's ever seen anything like this before.
