00:00That is nothing better than, you know, letting her be the star of the moment.
00:05She is the moment. She's the vibe.
00:07And, you know, honestly, my breath was taken away when she walked down the stairs tonight.
00:11How lucky am I?
00:12I don't know how to explain it, but it feels like there's two halves of my life.
00:19The good half, you know, before all this started, before she got sick.
00:24And then there's the sh** half.
00:25And the half, present company excluded, is the half I don't want to get better at dealing with.
00:32You seem like a passion project for everybody.
00:34What was it like with you guys working together and playing together
00:36and seeing this small but mighty cast?
00:38It's an incredible cast.
00:40I was blown away by the phone calls I would get from Robert, the director,
00:45and said, oh, we just got this person, Elizabeth Shue or Matt Walsh or Alex Schiff.
00:49It's an incredible cast.
00:51You know, anytime you do an indie film, it's about the art.
00:54It's about telling a story that you want to tell.
00:56And I just love this story.
00:58And, you know, I hope that people, you know, watch it and feel some sense of hope.
01:03You know, we all experience loss in some way.
01:05It's the unfortunate part of life, you know, and growing up.
01:08And I just feel like this does a really good job of telling a story about loss,
01:13but with some hope at the end of it.
01:16Do you go back and forth between loving acting more or loving being a musician more?
01:20Or is it neck and neck?
01:22It really depends, honestly.
01:25I feel fortunate that I don't really have to choose between the two.
01:29I think, you know, 10, 15 years ago, there was that thing where you had to say,
01:33I'm only doing this.
01:36And the greats that kind of paved that path for me to be able to step in and do both.
01:40I'm eternally grateful.
01:41This movie really examines the parent-child relationship.
01:44Are you trying to pick projects now that you know your daughter is going to be watching one day?
01:46Does that play into when you pick a film?
01:49I think it plays into not only the film and TV side of things, but also the music.
01:52You know, my entire perspective on life changed when we had our beautiful little girl.
01:57And I feel like I have more depth as a person,
02:01which then allows me as an actor and a singer and musician to have more depth,
02:06you know, and to have a different perspective.
02:08And, you know, picking a project like this isn't totally in my control.
02:12It's a sort of a combination of things just going right, coming together.
02:16But I can't wait for her to watch it one day
02:18and for us to have a bowl of popcorn and watch it together.
02:23What?
02:24What?
02:25What was your reaction when you first heard Malty say,
02:28Oh, my God?
02:30I mean, I was shocked.
02:31I think I said it because she looks so cute.
02:35And then she just repeated it.
02:37And now we can't get her to stop saying it.
02:38But it's pretty cute.
02:40What?
02:42Last question for you.
02:44How much do you love when you show up somewhere with your wife,
02:46that you know she's going to upstage you because of how beautiful?
02:49I mean, do you just love that?
02:50There is nothing better.
02:52Than, you know, letting her be the star of the moment.
02:55She is the moment.
02:56She's the vibe.
02:57And, you know, honestly, I was my breath was taken away
03:00when she walked down the stairs tonight.
03:02How lucky am I?
