00:00I talked to Kim Kardashian, yeah, I did, yeah.
00:03Who initiated that conversation?
00:04I did, I...
00:08Thank you so much for your time, I appreciate you.
00:09No worries.
00:10What's your name, sorry?
00:11I'm Jamie.
00:11Jamie Abacar.
00:12Abacar, thank you so much.
00:13And, hey, welcome to the new Port Beach Film Festival.
00:17You are in the spotlight.
00:19I know.
00:19What does that mean to you?
00:20How stressful to be in the spotlight.
00:23A lot of pressure with it.
00:24It's very nice, it's very nice.
00:28Yeah, I mean, this has been a really mad year,
00:30but then, like, it's punctuated with things like this,
00:33which is a real honour.
00:34I like to be, like, nominated in the company that I am.
00:37It's a real pleasure, yeah.
00:39Yeah, I'm glad you said it,
00:40because it has been a fantastic year for you,
00:41and I'm so happy for you and the success of, like,
00:43One Day, and I know that we've got things coming up as well.
00:46This time last year, was One Day out yet?
00:49Yes.
00:49Was life completely different?
00:51It'd been out for, like, a week or something like that, yeah.
00:54So, I don't really remember.
00:56I remember the week after the show came out,
00:57I ran off to a hotel and bonkered down,
01:00and, like, had my blinders on
01:01and didn't interact with the outside world.
01:04But life was very different this time a year ago.
01:07Have we normalised to this now?
01:09Does this feel regular?
01:10A little.
01:11I'm getting used to it.
01:12I don't know if it feels normal.
01:13Still quite surreal, yeah.
01:15Honestly, I'm so happy for you.
01:18I do my research before I arrive today,
01:19and Googling your name is so fun,
01:21because in the last year, you've had so many highlights.
01:23I'm going to roll some off.
01:24Me?
01:25You give your name, the autocomplete thing,
01:27the second word that comes up after your name,
01:28well, One Day, and then Met Gala.
01:31Oh, yeah.
01:32What a day.
01:32What a day, yeah, what a day.
01:35Well, I mean, we only saw you on the carpet,
01:37but you talked me through start to finish,
01:39what that day entailed.
01:40Was it the most stressful day?
01:41It was very stressful.
01:43The thing is, it's very, like, such an honour to be there.
01:47Like, I loved the group that I was with.
01:49But, oh, my God, it's a non-stop day.
01:51Like, you're up and you're getting ready for the proper dawn,
01:54and then you're on the carpet, and then you're inside,
01:56and everywhere you turn is the most famous person
01:58you've ever seen in your entire life.
02:01And, yeah, it's very, very stressful.
02:04I'm sort of like, if I go again,
02:05I'll have my bearings about me a bit more,
02:07but I think when I was, when I,
02:09because it was my first time, I felt like,
02:12I just felt like a tiny fish in a massive pond.
02:16But it was, yeah, I'm glad I got to take that off my bucket list.
02:19Did you get the opportunity?
02:20Obviously, you said it was pretty full-on,
02:21but you look left and right,
02:22and there's the most famous people on the planet.
02:23Did you get an opportunity to talk to any of those famous people on the planet?
02:26I talked to Kim Kardashian.
02:28Oh, really?
02:28Yeah, I did, yeah.
02:29Who initiated that conversation?
02:31I did.
02:32Because I knew she'd post about one day in her story,
02:35so I went up to her,
02:38and she was a very lovely woman, very lovely.
02:40Like, I met so many lovely people.
02:43I can't, like, I've gone blank now,
02:45but she was a highlight.
02:47Is it a case of, like, are you allowed your phone in there?
02:49Because surely your phone is, like, full of selfies now.
02:51You get a piece of tape over the camera,
02:54so you can't take it.
02:55People do, obviously.
02:56People have seen, like, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Rivera's performance.
03:00Yeah, it was pretty special.
03:01I'm so happy for you.
03:02I'm also very jealous of you.
03:04Yeah, I know.
03:05I can't believe I was, like, at the moment,
03:06I think I'm probably dissociating a bit,
03:07but it's a very cool thing to be.
03:09And the other thing which always comes up for you as well
03:12in the online search is,
03:13and I wonder whether it's still your party trick,
03:15sleeping with your eyes closed.
03:16I don't know if I'd call it a party trick,
03:18because I can't really control it, but...
03:19That's true.
03:20Yeah, I know. I think that is my legacy.
03:22It honestly is, like, my legacy now.
03:24Well, currently we have a hat trick of things,
03:26that being one day Met Gala, sleep with eyes open.
03:28Yeah.
03:28But 25 is the year where we can replace those things
03:31with new search engines.
03:32With three more surreal, strange things.
03:33Perhaps.
03:34Yeah, absolutely, yeah.
03:35Please talk to me about 25,
03:36because I know that you've got a couple of exciting things coming up.
03:38Yeah.
03:38What can you tell me about?
03:40I've got a film coming out called Sacrifice.
03:44It's a really fun film, really amazing cast,
03:47directed by Romain Dagrasse,
03:49written by Will Arbery and Romain.
03:51And, yeah, I'm really excited for that to come out.
03:53It's my first film, and it was a really, really, really fun one.
03:55Amazing. Congratulations.
03:56Enjoy tonight, and just have a great year.
03:58Thank you so much.
03:58Thank you so much, Jamie.
03:59Lovely to meet you.
04:01Bye-bye.
