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

83
,606 --> 00:02:33,088
Marc: That was an odyssey.

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

85
,469 --> 00:02:34,653

88
,981 --> 00:02:38,705
Tye: Texas, in between Dallas and Houston,
89
,765 --> 00:02:41,030
Tye: called Elkhart Elkhart, texas, okay.
90
,531 --> 00:02:45,692
Marc: I got family in in Longview so my sister
91
,753 --> 00:02:48,082
Marc: lives in longview so you probably made a
92
,122 --> 00:02:50,309
Marc: stop once, twice to bodacious barbecue, or
93
,329 --> 00:02:51,693
Marc: I've been to bodacious.
94
,235 --> 00:02:54,945
Marc: They have old dr pepper glass dr pepper
95
,965 --> 00:02:55,266
Marc: bottles.
96
,286 --> 00:02:57,394
Marc: They have a big water bath of warm water
97
,896 --> 00:02:58,880
Marc: and they have barbecue sauce.
98
,940 --> 00:03:01,566
Marc: So the barbecue sauce is always in one of
99
,586 --> 00:03:02,328
Marc: these bottles warm.
100
,408 --> 00:03:04,621
Marc: I know it's I'm not a big barbecue guy
101
,641 --> 00:03:06,427
Marc: necessarily, but everybody it's like it's
102
,488 --> 00:03:07,070
Marc: on I-20.
103
,180 --> 00:03:07,965
Marc: So everybody goes there.
104
,146 --> 00:03:09,454
Marc: Yeah, so very good.
105
,474 --> 00:03:10,962
Marc: But but no, you know it was so funny.
106
,684 --> 00:03:13,468
Marc: I rarely go go over folks.
107
,411 --> 00:03:14,752
Marc: I am DB.
108
,101 --> 00:03:16,666
Marc: I don't really try to scour too much
109
,726 --> 00:03:18,100
Marc: because I don't like to sit down and talk
110
,140 --> 00:03:19,102
Marc: with folks like we're going over your
111
,142 --> 00:03:19,583
Marc: resume.
112
,264 --> 00:03:22,387
Marc: But I didn't realize the depth of how much
113
,447 --> 00:03:24,030
Marc: stuff you've done because you've been on
114
,050 --> 00:03:24,391
Marc: the scene.
115
,731 --> 00:03:27,015
Marc: I love all the work you've done that I've
116
,055 --> 00:03:27,255
Marc: seen.
117
,396 --> 00:03:27,997
Marc: Appreciate that.
118
,501 --> 00:03:31,607
Marc: I was trying to find some of the projects
119
,627 --> 00:03:33,591
Marc: that maybe I haven't heard of before and
120
,272 --> 00:03:35,234
Marc: just stumbled across.
121
,520 --> 00:03:37,407
Marc: My daughter is the biggest Zach Bryan fan
122
,487 --> 00:03:38,190
Marc: on planet Earth.
123
,942 --> 00:03:40,748
Marc: I mean, that's her god when it comes to
124
,788 --> 00:03:44,793
Marc: country music and the video for Nineball.
125
,574 --> 00:03:47,236
Marc: Just to kind of start off as curious and
126
,296 --> 00:03:48,397
Marc: for my daughter's sake, because I know
127
,417 --> 00:03:50,484
Marc: she's going to ask how did you get involved
128
,524 --> 00:03:52,449
Marc: in that project with Matthew McConaughey?
129
,530 --> 00:03:53,091
Tye: Good question.
130
,360 --> 00:03:56,087
Tye: Yeah, it was really like last minute and
131
,929 --> 00:03:58,473
Tye: just seemed like a lot of fun.
132
,620 --> 00:04:00,955
Tye: You know, I think Zach is a really special
133
,499 --> 00:04:04,165
Tye: artist and yeah it was.
134
,326 --> 00:04:07,933
Tye: You know, go go shoot pool, hang out, work
135
,973 --> 00:04:11,230
Tye: with, work with mcconaughey and on a zach
136
,270 --> 00:04:13,497
Tye: bryan music video for a day sure why not?
137
,778 --> 00:04:15,102
Marc: so y'all work together about once every
138
,162 --> 00:04:15,503
Marc: decade.
139
,543 --> 00:04:16,727
Marc: You and mcconaughey got to connect.
140
,767 --> 00:04:18,420
Marc: You know another, another good texas guy no,
141
,500 --> 00:04:19,402
Marc: it was good, it was good.
142
,442 --> 00:04:21,946
Tye: He's, he's, uh, yeah, he's so much fun to
143
,966 --> 00:04:23,989
Tye: work with really, uh, he's, he's a a
144
,049 --> 00:04:25,251
Tye: character to.
145
,673 --> 00:04:27,855
Tye: Maybe that would be an understatement.
146
,220 --> 00:04:29,605
Marc: Well, you know I haven't watched too many
147
,666 --> 00:04:31,846
Marc: videos since I'm a little older than you
148
,906 --> 00:04:31,967
Marc: are.
149
,000 --> 00:04:33,346
Marc: I remember when MTV actually played the
150
,366 --> 00:04:36,588
Marc: videos, but I really love that.
151
,881 --> 00:04:38,929
Marc: It was just such a cool bit of storytelling.
152
,826 --> 00:04:41,609
Marc: It was just kind of neat.
153
Transition From Teen Actor to Adult
,440 --> 00:04:44,047
Marc: When we were doing our drive down here in
154
,067 --> 00:04:49,903
Marc: the U-Haul, my daughter, at least for a
155
,923 --> 00:04:50,987
Marc: good chunk of the trip, had all this random
156
,007 --> 00:04:51,951
Marc: stuff from Zach Bryan, and that's about the
157
,971 --> 00:04:53,678
Marc: only person that she's actually the voice
158
,698 --> 00:04:55,683
Marc: of my show here and the thing is she
159
,703 --> 00:04:56,866
Marc: doesn't ever really listen to it.
160
,986 --> 00:05:00,193
Marc: I think if I can get Zach Bryan to come on,
161
,282 --> 00:05:02,405
Marc: she's like I'll get a final listen.
162
,425 --> 00:05:04,249
Marc: Listen, it was very impressive.
163
,670 --> 00:05:08,545
Marc: Uh, and I don't say that often, it's like I
164
,645 --> 00:05:10,209
Marc: I have a chance to speak with a lot of
165
,269 --> 00:05:12,413
Marc: wonderful folks, but the breadth of
166
,520 --> 00:05:15,427
Marc: projects you've done and the amount of uh,
167
,587 --> 00:05:17,672
Marc: folks you've worked with who are just, you
168
,712 --> 00:05:19,944
Marc: know, as a young actor, it seems like you
169
,964 --> 00:05:22,229
Marc: probably had more unique learning
170
,289 --> 00:05:23,813
Marc: experiences than you know.
171
,833 --> 00:05:25,123
Marc: A lot of your contemporaries, just the
172
,183 --> 00:05:26,727
Marc: people you had a chance to work with and
173
,747 --> 00:05:29,581
Marc: the projects you're working on, but um, you
174
,601 --> 00:05:31,085
Marc: know, I appreciate that I'm a lucky guy.
175
,346 --> 00:05:33,351
Marc: You've had a long career, but the thing is
176
,600 --> 00:05:35,264
Marc: making that transition you're a young actor
177
,405 --> 00:05:37,750
Marc: to now you're mid, late twenties in that
178
,831 --> 00:05:41,224
Marc: realm Uh, so that was that hard shift for
179
,264 --> 00:05:43,027
Marc: you to go in people's minds, think, from
180
,047 --> 00:05:45,551
Marc: being the teen actor to doing the kind of
181
,591 --> 00:05:46,733
Marc: projects you're doing right now.
182
,394 --> 00:05:47,815
Tye: I don't know.
183
,200 --> 00:05:51,651
Tye: You know, I think kids really, as you know,
184
,740 --> 00:05:55,650
Tye: you have a teenager younger, early 20s
185
,690 --> 00:05:59,026
Tye: daughter sounds like they change fast.
186
,680 --> 00:06:00,961
Tye: You know.
187
,041 --> 00:06:02,949
Tye: It's like you don't see them for six months
188
,020 --> 00:06:04,025
Tye: and they're six inches taller.
189
,761 --> 00:06:07,467
Marc: Yeah, you know it seems you don't see them
190
,487 --> 00:06:08,371
Marc: for six months and they're six inches
191
,391 --> 00:06:08,772
Marc: taller.
192
,792 --> 00:06:09,816
Marc: Yeah, you know, it seems I got one just
193
,836 --> 00:06:10,839
Marc: turned 21, which is mind-boggling to me
194
,859 --> 00:06:11,882
Marc: yeah, oh, yeah, yeah.
195
,902 --> 00:06:13,045
Marc: Legally drink alcohol now.
196
,809 --> 00:06:17,061
Marc: But I mean, but the transition for you, you
197
,101 --> 00:06:19,888
Marc: know, it seemed very seamless, it's like it
198
,928 --> 00:06:22,213
Marc: just, you know, you went from ready player
199
,333 --> 00:06:23,945
Marc: one I was watching that and then I watched
200
,246 --> 00:06:25,692
Marc: you know, god, what was I saying the other
201
,712 --> 00:06:27,237
Marc: day I've seen three of your films in the
202
,297 --> 00:06:27,799
Marc: last week.
203
,819 --> 00:06:28,802
Tye: You know I was like let me go check out
204
,822 --> 00:06:30,647
Tye: some of those stuff I really enjoyed it.
205
,887 --> 00:06:33,261
Marc: And to kind of go back, I mentioned ready
206
,281 --> 00:06:33,843
Marc: player one.
207
,923 --> 00:06:35,608
Marc: I've been, I was, I've been curious since
208
,648 --> 00:06:37,721
Marc: watching that I do a lot of voiceover.
209
,781 --> 00:06:39,726
Marc: It's kind of one of my main things I do.
210
,766 --> 00:06:40,528
Marc: But I was curious.
211
,588 --> 00:06:42,112
Marc: A lot of that movie seems like was it
212
,172 --> 00:06:42,874
Marc: motion capture?
213
,934 --> 00:06:44,338
Marc: Was it a voiceover?
214
,919 --> 00:06:45,280
Tye: It was both.
215
,162 --> 00:06:48,667
Tye: It was motion capture, which we shot in
216
,708 --> 00:06:51,013
Tye: motion capture for about eight weeks on the
217
,073 --> 00:06:51,273
Tye: film.
218
,220 --> 00:06:54,147
Tye: You know it was a bigger, bigger project
219
,248 --> 00:06:54,629
Tye: obviously.
220
,800 --> 00:06:56,846
Tye: So you know we had a lot of shooting days
221
,866 --> 00:06:58,791
Tye: but, yeah, eight weeks of the of the shoot
222
,141 --> 00:07:00,126
Tye: we were in motion capture.
223
,400 --> 00:07:02,844
Tye: And so, yeah, I guess, for anybody who's
224
,884 --> 00:07:04,247
Tye: listening doesn't know what motion capture
225
,327 --> 00:07:06,170
Tye: is, it's, you've probably seen the behind
226
,190 --> 00:07:08,294
Tye: the scenes on, like Avatar or something
227
,334 --> 00:07:10,548
Tye: like that, of the actors wearing the funny
228
,609 --> 00:07:12,417
Tye: suits and with the ball, the tracking
229
,437 --> 00:07:13,461
Tye: Marcers all over them.
230
,043 --> 00:07:17,111
Tye: You know the cameras um on on their on
231
,131 --> 00:07:19,722
Tye: their face, um, so we, you know we were in
232
,762 --> 00:07:25,010
Tye: a volume with 180 infrared sensors and, you
233
,050 --> 00:07:26,713
Tye: know, recording the animation data, um,
234
,454 --> 00:07:29,722
Tye: because like 40 percent of the movie takes
235
,762 --> 00:07:32,549
Tye: place and in a virtual world, and so I'd
236
,589 --> 00:07:34,081
Tye: never done that before and it was very
237
,161 --> 00:07:36,209
Tye: technical and you know, I guess it's the
238
,249 --> 00:07:38,939
Tye: closest experience I've ever had to, like
239
,979 --> 00:07:41,265
Tye: working on a stage, for instance oh so you
240
,285 --> 00:07:42,548
Tye: see, you didn't have that background of
241
,608 --> 00:07:45,202
Tye: working on, uh, working on stage, you kind
242
,222 --> 00:07:46,946
Tye: of went right to on camera, more or less
243
,006 --> 00:07:47,207
Tye: right.
244
,447 --> 00:07:47,908
Tye: Pretty much.
245
,969 --> 00:07:50,962
Tye: Yeah, no, I I kind of randomly fell into
246
,982 --> 00:07:54,389
Tye: the whole this whole thing, and especially
247
,429 --> 00:07:55,170
Tye: the film world.
248
,250 --> 00:07:58,341
Tye: I was, I was uh, let's see, I was 10 years
249
,481 --> 00:08:01,386
Tye: old and I was going to.
250
,526 --> 00:08:02,087
Tye: You know, my.
251
,768 --> 00:08:04,610
Tye: I grew up in a really small town in East
252
Small Town Audition for Film
,631 --> 00:08:08,055
Tye: Texas and was going to public school there
253
,260 --> 00:08:10,205
Tye: and some casting directors came through and
254
,208 --> 00:08:12,671
Tye: were casting for this movie called the Tree
255
,691 --> 00:08:15,204
Tye: of Life and they ended up recruiting like
256
,284 --> 00:08:18,050
Tye: 10,000 kids across the state of Texas to
257
,090 --> 00:08:20,442
Tye: come and audition for this film and they
258
,482 --> 00:08:22,609
Tye: were sending invites home with the kids.
259
,640 --> 00:08:23,785
Tye: And I just happened to take home one of
260
,805 --> 00:08:25,724
Tye: these invites and my parents said well, you
261
,744 --> 00:08:27,269
Tye: know why don't you go and audition for this
262
,309 --> 00:08:27,570
Tye: movie?
263
,500 --> 00:08:29,664
Tye: You know, you can always tell people.
264
,684 --> 00:08:31,560
Tye: You got to audition for a film one time and
265
,621 --> 00:08:33,066
Tye: I said, yeah, that sounds cool, you know
266
,086 --> 00:08:33,407
Tye: why not?
267
,568 --> 00:08:36,207
Marc: And so Was the bug already there?
268
,300 --> 00:08:37,606
Marc: Like were you intrigued?
269
,320 --> 00:08:46,084
Marc: Or was this like, yeah, I might as well
270
,104 --> 00:08:46,386
Marc: creative type?
271
,406 --> 00:08:47,169
Marc: Yeah, but I was also an athlete as well.
272
,189 --> 00:08:48,014
Marc: So Now, what were you doing in high school
273
,034 --> 00:08:48,215
Marc: back then?
274
,235 --> 00:08:49,139
Marc: Or what were you doing back in school when
275
,179 --> 00:08:50,486
Marc: you were like you said, you're an, you're
276
,527 --> 00:08:52,035
Marc: an athlete, or were you you?
277
,055 --> 00:08:53,401
Tye: know I was playing baseball pretty much
278
,441 --> 00:08:55,606
Tye: year round, but I played all the sports.
279
,647 --> 00:08:58,213
Tye: You know we had a baseball, basketball,
280
,360 --> 00:09:02,188
Tye: football, ran track middle school.
281
,228 --> 00:09:03,992
Tye: But but yeah, I, you know, I was just
282
,052 --> 00:09:10,662
Tye: playing sports, hanging out with my friends.
283
,682 --> 00:09:11,786
Tye: I've always been very into the outdoors,
284
,806 --> 00:09:12,930
Tye: you know my, my dad would take me a lot on
285
,970 --> 00:09:14,435
Tye: the out on the Trinity river and we would
286
,455 --> 00:09:15,900
Tye: fish on the Trinity river and so, uh, you
287
,920 --> 00:09:17,844
Tye: know, I was just a boy, you know, just
288
,865 --> 00:09:20,310
Tye: being a boy and doing what boys do in the
289
,651 --> 00:09:21,173
Tye: neck of the woods.
290
,580 --> 00:09:33,463
Tye: What kind of work did your dad do back then?
291
,483 --> 00:09:34,506
Tye: My dad works for UPS, so he's a UPS driver.
292
,526 --> 00:09:35,408
Tye: He's been doing that for over 30 years.
293
,428 --> 00:09:36,231
Tye: And yeah, my mom, she was always kind of a
294
,251 --> 00:09:36,752
Tye: small business owner.
295
,772 --> 00:09:38,317
Tye: She owned, she was a massage therapist for
296
,357 --> 00:09:40,703
Tye: a while and she, you know, would travel
297
,566 --> 00:09:43,491
Tye: around working with kids that had, you know,
298
,772 --> 00:09:45,437
Tye: some kind of muscular dystrophies or
299
,139 --> 00:09:48,264
Tye: something like that, which was cool, but
300
,285 --> 00:09:50,911
Tye: yeah, and then she had a salon and a
301
,951 --> 00:09:52,280
Tye: clothing boutique and stuff like that.
302
,320 --> 00:09:54,445
Tye: So, yeah, my parents, nobody came from the
303
,427 --> 00:09:57,050
Tye: entertainment world at all.
304
,370 --> 00:10:01,663
Tye: Film was this far fetched land that I
305
,683 --> 00:10:02,424
Tye: didn't even know.
306
,824 --> 00:10:03,986
Tye: No one could even fathom that it was
307
,006 --> 00:10:05,788
Tye: something you could do for a job, right.
308
,848 --> 00:10:09,032
Tye: And so I randomly went to this audition,
309
,853 --> 00:10:13,121
Tye: kind of on a whim, and uh met Terry Malick
310
,141 --> 00:10:16,187
Tye: there and and uh ended up getting called
311
,207 --> 00:10:18,552
Tye: back and it was a year long audition
312
,572 --> 00:10:20,483
Tye: process and then I finally got cast.
313
,763 --> 00:10:22,666
Tye: And I finally got cast in this film, and
314
,686 --> 00:10:26,133
Tye: then it was very unique experience.
315
,573 --> 00:10:28,504
Tye: I'd never read a script, I never memorized
316
,544 --> 00:10:30,892
Tye: any lines, and we were shooting this movie
317
,932 --> 00:10:35,108
Tye: for about four months down in Austin and it
318
,128 --> 00:10:36,674
Tye: was like the greatest summer camp ever.
319
,734 --> 00:10:40,106
Tye: As soon as I landed on the set I was like
320
,126 --> 00:10:41,892
Tye: man, who are all these people you know, and
321
,932 --> 00:10:42,574
Tye: what do they do?
322
,714 --> 00:10:45,022
Tye: And filmmaking the whole process of making
323
,042 --> 00:10:47,834
Tye: a film, was just as new to me you as acting
324
,874 --> 00:10:49,440
Tye: was, and so I just kind of became enamored
325
,500 --> 00:10:52,809
Tye: with it all and uh, and and so, yeah,
326
,829 --> 00:10:54,915
Tye: that's really where where it kind of
327
,975 --> 00:10:57,041
Tye: started for me that's very cool.
328
,121 --> 00:10:58,587
Marc: now, if I remember right, it's been a
329
,607 --> 00:11:00,555
Marc: little while since I've seen it, but you
330
,615 --> 00:11:04,507
Marc: were the younger version of uh Sean Penn's
331
,628 --> 00:11:06,012
Marc: character, am I correct?
332
,801 --> 00:11:07,464
Marc: Isn't the movie kind?
333
,484 --> 00:11:07,825
Tye: of told.
334
,966 --> 00:11:10,587
Tye: No, the movie is yeah, yeah, exactly.
335
,981 --> 00:11:14,168
Tye: So you know the story is.
336
,110 --> 00:11:16,513
Tye: There are three sons in the family.
337
,881 --> 00:11:19,388
Tye: I played the youngest son and then Sean
338
,331 --> 00:11:22,217
Tye: Penn would be the oldest son.
339
,237 --> 00:11:23,079
Tye: Okay, okay.
340
,760 --> 00:11:25,726
Marc: And Brad Pitt was your father, correct,
341
,867 --> 00:11:26,308
Marc: that's right.
342
,509 --> 00:11:27,391
Tye: Okay okay very good.
343
,740 --> 00:11:29,207
Marc: My kids make fun of my memory all the time.
344
,260 --> 00:11:30,986
Marc: I'm trying to go back in time and see this
345
,026 --> 00:11:31,187
Marc: movie.
346
,207 --> 00:11:31,709
Tye: No, it's very good.
347
,082 --> 00:11:34,468
Marc: But you know we'll get to it in a moment.
348
,520 --> 00:11:35,946
Marc: But here you are back with Sean Penn again,
349
,966 --> 00:11:36,428
Marc: that's right.
350
,660 --> 00:11:38,561
Marc: So when you did this, what was your
351
Movie Role Impact on Social Life
,601 --> 00:11:39,522
Marc: parents' impression?
352
,562 --> 00:11:42,284
Marc: Or even, let's go to like even kids in
353
,304 --> 00:11:43,505
Marc: school, because this is not, you know,
354
,525 --> 00:11:44,846
Marc: you're in a small town East Texas.
355
,206 --> 00:11:46,507
Marc: Here you're showing up in a movie.
356
,428 --> 00:11:49,630
Marc: Did that kind of alter your social dynamic
357
,710 --> 00:11:50,630
Marc: and what you're up to?
358
,391 --> 00:11:53,172
Marc: How did that shake out when it came to your
359
,252 --> 00:11:53,633
Marc: social life?
360
,373 --> 00:11:56,154
Tye: Not really other than I just disappeared
361
,215 --> 00:11:58,016
Tye: for a summer and my friends didn't see me.
362
,076 --> 00:11:59,937
Tye: And then, when I got back, they said what
363
,977 --> 00:12:00,478
Tye: were you doing?
364
,000 --> 00:12:03,083
Tye: I said I was working on a film and they
365
,103 --> 00:12:03,483
Tye: said bullshit.
366
,503 --> 00:12:04,004
Announcer: I don't believe you.
367
,485 --> 00:12:06,650
Tye: And then the film took two years to come
368
,770 --> 00:12:10,417
Tye: out and uh, and then it finally did come
369
,537 --> 00:12:12,344
Tye: out and, and you know, because we were from
370
,385 --> 00:12:14,009
Tye: a really small town, it wasn't playing in
371
,090 --> 00:12:16,625
Tye: our locals theater and so people had to
372
,665 --> 00:12:19,532
Tye: drive, you know, an hour or so to go watch
373
,552 --> 00:12:19,913
Tye: the film.
374
,380 --> 00:12:22,604
Tye: And, as you can imagine, you've seen the
375
,644 --> 00:12:24,026
Tye: movie the tree of life.
376
,166 --> 00:12:27,992
Marc: It's um, and as you can imagine, you've
377
,032 --> 00:12:28,874
Marc: seen the movie the Tree of Life.
378
,894 --> 00:12:30,015
Marc: It's a beautiful film, oh yeah, I thought
379
,036 --> 00:12:30,857
Marc: it was beautifully shot.
380
,877 --> 00:12:31,579
Marc: I mean it was a really really.
381
,719 --> 00:12:33,584
Marc: It was an interesting study and kind of.
382
,604 --> 00:12:35,068
Marc: I think anybody who watched it had to kind
383
,108 --> 00:12:36,511
Marc: of look at their own life and their own
384
,572 --> 00:12:38,225
Marc: upbringing it was an interesting
385
,647 --> 00:12:41,440
Marc: contemplation of a film certainly 100% and
386
,480 --> 00:12:44,025
Marc: it won the Palme d'Or at festival year.
387
,326 --> 00:12:46,630
Tye: It came out, and you know, so very highly
388
,071 --> 00:12:51,926
Tye: regarded movie critically and I think you
389
,946 --> 00:12:54,305
Tye: know it was everybody, all my friends are
390
,325 --> 00:12:57,742
Tye: waiting for me to see this, for for them to
391
,762 --> 00:12:59,849
Tye: see this film that I supposedly was working
392
,950 --> 00:13:00,686
Tye: on Until they saw it.
393
,706 --> 00:13:01,615
Marc: They probably didn't believe you.
394
,656 --> 00:13:02,662
Marc: They were like, yeah, you're full of it.
395
,224 --> 00:13:04,469
Marc: You were at summer camp, Come on.
396
,900 --> 00:13:06,407
Tye: I didn't know anything about the movie.
397
,560 --> 00:13:07,786
Tye: I honestly didn't know what it was about.
398
,860 --> 00:13:10,006
Tye: And it was about these three boys, you know,
399
,046 --> 00:13:11,831
Tye: growing up from this family.
400
,620 --> 00:13:14,623
Tye: And so I was telling people you know what
401
,643 --> 00:13:16,386
Tye: the movie was about, without even knowing
402
,606 --> 00:13:17,207
Tye: what it was about.
403
,247 --> 00:13:19,230
Tye: And when they saw it it was obviously like
404
,212 --> 00:13:21,934
Tye: more different than anybody could have even
405
,014 --> 00:13:22,475
Tye: fathomed.
406
,356 --> 00:13:24,899
Tye: And so, yeah, it was.
407
,919 --> 00:13:26,823
Tye: I don't want to say they were making fun of
408
,864 --> 00:13:28,789
Tye: me, they were kind of poking fun that I was
409
,829 --> 00:13:30,302
Tye: in this, you know this weird movie.
410
,306 --> 00:13:34,911
Tye: And then, yeah, and then it was like I
411
,931 --> 00:13:36,520
Tye: would just disappear and I went back to my
412
,540 --> 00:13:37,622
Tye: public school and I would.
413
,802 --> 00:13:39,725
Tye: I disappeared a few years later and went
414
,785 --> 00:13:41,027
Tye: and worked on this movie called mud.
415
,368 --> 00:13:41,769
Marc: Oh I'm.
416
,789 --> 00:13:44,032
Marc: By the way, I gotta say I loved, loved Mud.
417
,052 --> 00:13:45,675
Marc: That was like when it came out in New
418
,735 --> 00:13:47,646
Marc: Orleans, because I mean I love McConaughey.
419
,666 --> 00:13:49,444
Marc: I mean, come on, you know, that was such a
420
,564 --> 00:13:51,370
Marc: great random film.
421
,242 --> 00:13:53,667
Marc: It was like but so that was your second
422
,707 --> 00:13:54,209
Marc: film you were in.
423
,360 --> 00:13:55,063
Marc: It was the second film.
424
,103 --> 00:14:01,627
Tye: I worked on, yeah, and that was, you know,
425
,667 --> 00:14:01,908
Tye: like I.
426
,948 --> 00:14:02,248
Tye: So it was.
427
,408 --> 00:14:04,711
Tye: It was about these two kids who find a
428
,912 --> 00:14:06,994
Tye: fugitive hiding out on this Island on the
429
,034 --> 00:14:08,340
Tye: Mississippi river and then they're going to
430
,361 --> 00:14:09,082
Tye: try to help this guy.
431
,824 --> 00:14:12,170
Tye: Um, and so it was like when I, when I found
432
,211 --> 00:14:15,765
Tye: that project, it was kind of very close to
433
,805 --> 00:14:18,851
Tye: home and so, I don't know, it was a way, I
434
,892 --> 00:14:21,884
Tye: think, just to express myself and my
435
,944 --> 00:14:25,552
Tye: experience through through a film and uh,
436
,933 --> 00:14:27,256
Tye: you know, it was a really special
437
,102 --> 00:14:28,604
Tye: experience.
438
,804 --> 00:14:30,570
Tye: And then I just kind of, yeah, after that,
439
,590 --> 00:14:33,546
Tye: I just kind of completely fell in love with.
440
,228 --> 00:14:36,314
Tye: You know, I realized the power of cinema.
441
,494 --> 00:14:37,784
Tye: You know, we made that, we premiered that
442
,824 --> 00:14:40,713
Tye: movie at Cannes, mudd I can't remember what
443
,753 --> 00:14:43,824
Tye: year, that was 2012 or something like that
444
,065 --> 00:14:49,503
Tye: and uh, in competition and and I remember
445
,543 --> 00:14:50,746
Tye: going there and you know I was 15, 16 years
446
,766 --> 00:14:52,271
Tye: old and whenever one, when the movie ended,
447
,351 --> 00:14:55,269
Tye: and you know, thousands of people stood up
448
,309 --> 00:14:57,320
Tye: and gave us a 20 minute standing ovation,
449
,862 --> 00:14:59,848
Tye: it was like ingrained, you know.
450
,869 --> 00:15:02,851
Tye: It was like I realized like the magic and
451
,871 --> 00:15:04,448
Tye: the power of cinema in that moment and I
452
,415 --> 00:15:05,252
Tye: forever knew that it was what, the power of
453
,218 --> 00:15:05,759
Tye: cinema in that moment?
454
,725 --> 00:15:06,695
Marc: and I forever knew that was what I wanted
455
,715 --> 00:15:08,736
Marc: to do in that moment oh, plus, you had a
456
,756 --> 00:15:10,778
Marc: chance to work with, uh, sam Shepard, which
457
,860 --> 00:15:13,186
Marc: is when it's only kind of such a special
458
,226 --> 00:15:15,732
Marc: thing, you know, yeah, yeah, it was so cool
459
,128 --> 00:15:23,891
Marc: what were your folks?
460
,272 --> 00:15:25,536
Marc: uh, because they're the ones even said hey,
461
,556 --> 00:15:26,519
Marc: go to this audition thing.
462
,559 --> 00:15:28,103
Marc: You know, check it out, it could be fun,
463
,163 --> 00:15:28,464
Marc: you know.
464
,544 --> 00:15:32,253
Marc: Yeah, when obviously and I like I say you
465
,273 --> 00:15:33,926
Marc: have a of all the people I've spoken with
466
,966 --> 00:15:36,437
Marc: you've kind of got one of the most unique
467
,457 --> 00:15:37,944
Marc: careers because you took off, you went
468
,145 --> 00:15:40,354
Marc: right into really great projects with very
469
,394 --> 00:15:42,642
Marc: talented people, great directors, so you've
470
,802 --> 00:15:44,385
Marc: had a chance to jump right into the meat of
471
,505 --> 00:15:45,767
Marc: like really good stuff.
472
,968 --> 00:15:49,013
Marc: So, from being in small town, texas kind of
473
,033 --> 00:15:50,462
Marc: a two part question how did your, how did
474
,482 --> 00:15:51,947
Marc: your parents kind of perceive it and start
475
,027 --> 00:15:52,589
Marc: navigating it?
476
,609 --> 00:15:54,284
Marc: And how were you able, like, when did you
477
,324 --> 00:15:56,751
Marc: make the move and go to LA or you know?
478
,920 --> 00:15:57,961
Tye: Well, I never really made.
479
,282 --> 00:16:00,625
Tye: I never really made the move to LA.
480
,965 --> 00:16:01,967
Tye: I mean I'm back and forth.
481
,587 --> 00:16:04,290
Tye: Yeah, I spend a little time in LA, but
482
,891 --> 00:16:08,075
Tye: mostly in my time has been in Texas and has
483
,115 --> 00:16:10,083
Tye: been spent in Texas and for years, you know,
484
,103 --> 00:16:11,709
Tye: I was working on films and bouncing around,
485
,760 --> 00:16:12,885
Tye: so it didn't really matter where I lived
486
,945 --> 00:16:13,227
Tye: anyway.
487
,461 --> 00:16:14,962
Tye: But yeah, I was.
488
Navigating a Teenage Acting Career
,447 --> 00:16:17,671
Tye: But yeah, there was a decision.
489
,711 --> 00:16:20,500
Tye: You know it was like, well, after the tree
490
,600 --> 00:16:22,183
Tye: of life, which is the first film I worked
491
,303 --> 00:16:24,246
Tye: on, I was 11 years old and I told my
492
,306 --> 00:16:25,348
Tye: parents of life, which is the first film I
493
,368 --> 00:16:25,548
Tye: worked on.
494
,568 --> 00:16:26,650
Tye: I was 11 years old and I told my parents 11
495
,710 --> 00:16:27,591
Tye: or 12, I told them I think this is
496
,611 --> 00:16:28,913
Tye: something I want to do and it was really
497
,973 --> 00:16:38,002
Tye: fascinating and I think they had, you know,
498
,022 --> 00:16:38,583
Tye: a reluctance around.
499
,683 --> 00:16:39,666
Tye: You know, obviously I hear crazy stories
500
,686 --> 00:16:40,588
Tye: about child actors and is it really the
501
,608 --> 00:16:41,551
Tye: best world for your kid to be getting
502
,591 --> 00:16:44,324
Tye: caught up in, and so you know, I think
503
,364 --> 00:16:46,167
Tye: there was obviously, you know, some
504
,207 --> 00:16:48,451
Tye: hesitation there on my parents' part.
505
,791 --> 00:16:52,202
Tye: But you know, of course, if they were there
506
,403 --> 00:16:55,771
Tye: and you know kind of looking after me and I
507
,791 --> 00:16:57,505
Tye: think they were and it was something I
508
,565 --> 00:16:57,988
Tye: wanted to do.
509
,048 --> 00:16:58,834
Tye: My parents have never.
510
,854 --> 00:17:00,421
Tye: If I ever told my parents I wanted to do
511
,481 --> 00:17:02,827
Tye: something, they were always supportive.
512
,867 --> 00:17:03,488
Tye: They've never.
513
,029 --> 00:17:05,513
Tye: I've been super lucky, they've never.
514
,553 --> 00:17:08,065
Tye: Really, you know they're right there,
515
,085 --> 00:17:08,466
Tye: they're always.
516
,526 --> 00:17:09,970
Tye: Yes, what can I do to help you?
517
Decision Between School and Acting
,270 --> 00:17:11,782
Tye: And I think it was no different in this
518
,262 --> 00:17:14,687
Tye: context, obviously like a bit more nuanced,
519
,150 --> 00:17:18,654
Tye: but yeah, I, you know it was.
520
,880 --> 00:17:20,966
Tye: It was also like I wasn't living like the
521
,006 --> 00:17:23,192
Tye: child actor life, you know, I wasn't on a
522
,800 --> 00:17:26,209
Tye: some regularly occurring Disney show.
523
,380 --> 00:17:28,806
Tye: I was, you know, living in East Texas,
524
,866 --> 00:17:31,271
Tye: going to the public school that all my
525
,331 --> 00:17:32,682
Tye: friends went to, and then I would just
526
,722 --> 00:17:34,206
Tye: disappear for a few weeks at a time and go
527
,247 --> 00:17:35,470
Tye: work on these small indie movies.
528
,021 --> 00:17:39,346
Tye: And then it kind of, you know, when I was
529
,386 --> 00:17:42,713
Tye: about 16, I had to kind of make a decision,
530
,753 --> 00:17:44,783
Tye: you know, to whether or not I wanted to
531
,843 --> 00:17:47,428
Tye: really just focus on school or I wanted to
532
,488 --> 00:17:49,632
Tye: pursue the, the acting thing, a bit more.
533
,673 --> 00:17:51,943
Tye: I think that was a bit of a harder
534
,983 --> 00:17:53,466
Tye: conversation with my parents I was.
535
,368 --> 00:17:56,533
Tye: I basically told them hey, you know I've
536
,573 --> 00:17:59,506
Tye: got, I'm working consistently now on these
537
,566 --> 00:17:59,927
Tye: films.
538
,988 --> 00:18:01,552
Tye: I was 16, 17 at the time.
539
,760 --> 00:18:03,443
Marc: Well, did they have an appreciation for the
540
,544 --> 00:18:04,145
Marc: the?
541
,926 --> 00:18:06,189
Marc: It's not that you're working on films, but
542
,229 --> 00:18:07,150
Marc: you really were.
543
,190 --> 00:18:08,613
Marc: You were, like I said, the caliber of what
544
,633 --> 00:18:10,985
Marc: you were doing was so it was.
545
,105 --> 00:18:12,569
Marc: It was up there, you know you were getting
546
,589 --> 00:18:13,131
Marc: a lot of traction.
547
,151 --> 00:18:15,205
Marc: I mean, did they recognize, or did you have
548
,225 --> 00:18:17,030
Marc: an agent or a manager or somebody say,
549
,091 --> 00:18:19,164
Marc: listen, this kid's got it going on right
550
,204 --> 00:18:19,405
Marc: now?
551
,726 --> 00:18:20,348
Tye: Definitely had my.
552
,408 --> 00:18:26,901
Tye: So, yes, my manager, paul Nelson.
553
,921 --> 00:18:28,463
Tye: I met on the set of the tree of life and I
554
,483 --> 00:18:29,544
Tye: met him through Jessica Chastain, so he was
555
,584 --> 00:18:32,187
Tye: representing, he represents Jessica and and
556
,228 --> 00:18:37,353
Tye: you know, she and my mom had spoken and got
557
,393 --> 00:18:39,675
Tye: kind of close while they were, while he
558
,715 --> 00:18:40,817
Tye: came to visit on that set.
559
,900 --> 00:18:49,942
Tye: And then you know, he's been kind of right
560
,963 --> 00:18:50,764
Tye: there in our corner, uh, all along and, um,
561
,785 --> 00:18:51,206
Tye: yeah, he he was.
562
,226 --> 00:18:53,250
Tye: He was the one I think that you know gave
563
,331 --> 00:18:56,782
Tye: my parents the, the comfort and, you know,
564
,882 --> 00:19:01,436
Tye: the security that you know he was looking
565
,456 --> 00:19:02,840
Tye: out for me, making sure I was working on
566
,860 --> 00:19:04,325
Tye: quality projects and stuff like that.
567
,385 --> 00:19:06,190
Tye: But I think my parents knew like, oh, it
568
,210 --> 00:19:08,085
Tye: was good, it's like these are good projects.
569
,145 --> 00:19:11,142
Tye: But they didn't really know, they didn't
570
,162 --> 00:19:14,011
Tye: realize exactly.
571
,740 --> 00:19:17,088
Tye: I mean, they didn't know if one director
572
,128 --> 00:19:18,503
Tye: was better than the other, for instance.
573
,523 --> 00:19:21,060
Tye: They just don't have the experience.
574
,180 --> 00:19:25,535
Tye: But yeah, it was yeah, but at the same time,
575
,576 --> 00:19:27,343
Tye: you know it was, it was not a big shift, it
576
,383 --> 00:19:30,411
Tye: was really just, you know, going like I
577
,431 --> 00:19:31,581
Tye: said, I would just leave and I would go
578
,601 --> 00:19:33,225
Tye: work on these, these projects for a few
579
,245 --> 00:19:35,051
Tye: weeks at a time, miss a little school and
580
,091 --> 00:19:37,644
Tye: then come back, and so my life didn't
581
,664 --> 00:19:40,710
Tye: really change that much until I was 16 or
582
,770 --> 00:19:41,331
Tye: 17.
583
,732 --> 00:19:42,714
Tye: And then I started working more
584
,734 --> 00:19:45,900
Tye: consistently and I knew that I had a little
585
,000 --> 00:19:46,623
Tye: momentum.
586
,724 --> 00:19:48,190
Tye: My parents, I think, knew that I had a
587
,431 --> 00:19:50,098
Tye: little momentum and I had to kind of
588
,299 --> 00:19:51,763
Tye: confront them and tell them hey, I want to
589
,803 --> 00:19:55,270
Tye: pursue this, you know, more full time, and
590
,571 --> 00:19:57,622
Tye: really like turn it, turn this into a
591
,722 --> 00:19:59,006
Tye: career and not just a hobby.
592
,029 --> 00:20:03,359
Tye: And I think for them, you know, that meant
593
,539 --> 00:20:06,264
Tye: leaving school and, you know, trying to
594
,324 --> 00:20:07,807
Tye: finish school early because I couldn't
595
,847 --> 00:20:08,468
Tye: focus on.
596
,470 --> 00:20:12,054
Tye: You know, it's really hard to make films
597
,134 --> 00:20:15,685
Tye: period when you have to do that on top of,
598
,306 --> 00:20:18,830
Tye: you know, three hours of school every day
599
,890 --> 00:20:20,372
Tye: and all of your homework, and when you're
600
,392 --> 00:20:22,395
Tye: 17 years old, it got really challenging.
601
,700 --> 00:20:27,225
Tye: 17 years old, it got really challenging.
602
,245 --> 00:20:28,128
Tye: Um, and so I told my parents, I said, hey,
603
,148 --> 00:20:29,031
Tye: I, you know, I'd like to either just focus
604
,051 --> 00:20:30,918
Tye: on school or continue pursuing the film
605
,958 --> 00:20:31,981
Tye: thing, which I really want to do.
606
,163 --> 00:20:36,189
Tye: Uh, and, and they, you know they were
607
,209 --> 00:20:40,282
Tye: supportive, but I think it was, you know, a
608
,343 --> 00:20:43,168
Tye: bummer, because my, my mom didn't want me
609
,188 --> 00:20:44,270
Tye: to get my GED.
610
,290 --> 00:20:45,853
Tye: You know, she wanted me to graduate high
611
,894 --> 00:20:47,483
Tye: school and you know.
612
,544 --> 00:20:50,845
Tye: So I ended up getting my GED and then kind
613
,885 --> 00:20:53,662
Tye: of focusing on the film thing and then
614
,743 --> 00:20:55,509
Tye: later tried to get into.
615
,781 --> 00:20:57,161
Tye: I always wanted to go to university, so I
616
,181 --> 00:20:59,846
Tye: tried to get into UT and they pretty much
617
,926 --> 00:21:01,350
Tye: laughed me out of the admissions office
618
,445 --> 00:21:05,588
Tye: Because my.
619
,628 --> 00:21:08,778
Tye: GPA was terrible because I couldn't make up
620
,818 --> 00:21:09,500
Tye: elective classes.
621
,620 --> 00:21:11,085
Tye: When I would go and I would work on a film.
622
,145 --> 00:21:12,550
Tye: So I would come back to school and, of
623
,590 --> 00:21:15,010
Tye: course, like all my core classes, grades
624
,030 --> 00:21:17,018
Tye: would be transferred, but the elective
625
,059 --> 00:21:20,144
Tye: classes you can't make up, pe, um.
626
,685 --> 00:21:24,251
Tye: So so I had zeros factored into my GPA for
627
,311 --> 00:21:27,155
Tye: two semesters for my three elective classes
628
,500 --> 00:21:30,169
Tye: and my GPA was just absolutely horrendous
629
,700 --> 00:21:34,649
Tye: and and so, and so you know, ut basically,
630
,789 --> 00:21:36,092
Tye: yeah, laughed me out of the admissions
631
,193 --> 00:21:38,627
Tye: office and I thought about getting into
632
,667 --> 00:21:41,438
Tye: other schools, but then, you know, I just
633
,458 --> 00:21:43,285
Tye: decided I'll just focus on the film thing
634
,305 --> 00:21:43,546
Tye: for now.
635
,566 --> 00:21:44,268
Tye: Maybe come back to this.
636
,460 --> 00:21:45,908
Marc: Yeah, maybe the serendipitous, maybe that
637
,928 --> 00:21:47,697
Marc: was kind of like little nudge to say stick
638
,717 --> 00:21:49,563
Marc: with it, you're doing great, you know yeah
639
,164 --> 00:21:50,725
Marc: no, it was.
640
,966 --> 00:21:53,191
Tye: I mean I've, and now it's funny, you know,
641
,351 --> 00:21:56,684
Tye: I've, I've spoken to, you know a few of the
642
,704 --> 00:21:58,508
Tye: professors there and a few of the classes
643
,189 --> 00:22:02,561
Tye: you know at ut, which is, which is is cool,
644
,581 --> 00:22:03,744
Tye: we've gone full circle.
645
,844 --> 00:22:04,967
Marc: Well, you know, mcconaughey, you know you
646
,007 --> 00:22:05,648

Marc: You know I think he has got some pull there.
648
,552 --> 00:22:10,038
Marc: You know that's what's kind of a neat full
649
,120 --> 00:22:10,581
Marc: circle thing.
650
,621 --> 00:22:12,065
Marc: I was telling my daughter last night doing
651
,085 --> 00:22:14,050
Marc: the zach bryan video with him.
652
,632 --> 00:22:16,286
Marc: You know, when you did mud that's one of
653
,306 --> 00:22:17,572
Marc: your first, and now you're kind of back
654
,592 --> 00:22:19,039
Marc: with him and uh he's.
655
,139 --> 00:22:20,462
Marc: You know, my favorite thing is whenever I
656
,502 --> 00:22:22,406
Marc: see a video pop up on youtube of him going
657
,426 --> 00:22:23,969
Marc: through Whataburger or something like that.
658
,069 --> 00:22:26,454
Marc: So it's uniquely Texan kind of.
659
,540 --> 00:22:28,205
Marc: I have to ask you you're a Texan and my
660
,245 --> 00:22:30,210
Marc: daughter is loving being here now because
661
,230 --> 00:22:32,002
Marc: she went to Whataburger what's your
662
,042 --> 00:22:33,308
Marc: favorite item on the menu there?
663
,380 --> 00:22:35,365
Marc: I got to ask every Texan I talk to.
664
,568 --> 00:22:37,230
Tye: At Whataburger.
665
,691 --> 00:22:39,923
Tye: Oh yeah, I think it used to be the honey
666
,943 --> 00:22:43,110
Tye: butter chicken biscuit, but I feel like
667
,150 --> 00:22:44,693
Tye: it's gone downhill.
668
,000 --> 00:22:49,602
Marc: The quality has gone downhill.
669
,622 --> 00:22:50,444
Marc: Yeah, well, you know they did sell, I think,
670
,464 --> 00:22:51,307

671
,327 --> 00:22:52,941
Marc: interest in company chicago or something.
672
,001 --> 00:22:54,925
Marc: But there's, there depends which one you go

676
,848 --> 00:23:02,052
Marc: percentage under 30.
677
,096 --> 00:23:04,420
Marc: A lot of them are from texas and you're the

Marc: you know, and she's been bartending so for
689
,548 --> 00:23:23,992
Marc: an 18 year old this is kind of wild.
690
,012 --> 00:23:25,114
Marc: But when she gets out of work the only
691
,134 --> 00:23:26,055
Marc: thing open is Whataburger.
692
,323 --> 00:23:28,628
Marc: So for her it's not a big deal.
693
,760 --> 00:23:30,888
Marc: Every night I'm like baby, I've got to cook
694

698
,574 --> 00:23:51,502
Marc: screen an important person is spielberg and
699
,763 --> 00:23:52,444
Marc: working with him.
700
,026 --> 00:23:54,489
Marc: You're the I think you're the first person
701
,509 --> 00:23:56,421
Marc: I've had a chance to speak with who worked
702
,461 --> 00:23:57,786
Marc: in on one of his projects.
703
,110 --> 00:24:00,635

Marc: uh worked on a steven spielberg film a
705
,584 --> 00:24:06,292
Marc: young guy, comparatively the other kind of
706
,320 --> 00:24:07,624
Marc: things you've done, or just I've just
707
,764 --> 00:24:08,607
Marc: general experience.
708
,767 --> 00:24:10,401
Marc: I was curious what it was about or what it
709
,441 --> 00:24:11,142
Marc: was like for you.
710
,504 --> 00:24:17,652

711
,434 --> 00:24:19,075
Tye: kid in the world.

,923 --> 00:24:21,364
Tye: his films.
714
,745 --> 00:24:24,570
Tye: You know, I think I for sure wouldn't be
715
,590 --> 00:24:29,324
Tye: the same kid without his films and I think
716
,525 --> 00:24:31,570
Tye: for anybody working in this industry you
717
,610 --> 00:24:35,487

,368 --> 00:24:44,849
Tye: obviously.
723
,089 --> 00:24:47,054
Marc: So you had been aware of him, you know.
724

Marc: directing style?
748
,469 --> 00:25:25,653
Marc: Is he an easygoing guy or is he got a
749
,693 --> 00:25:26,795
Marc: certain intensity on his set?
750
,920 --> 00:25:29,207
Marc: Cause we all know him like Danny Ocean,

760
,467 --> 00:25:50,790
Tye: acting the scene out with you.
761
,091 --> 00:25:52,862

766
,411 --> 00:26:01,795
Tye: You know, and sometimes it's like very
767
,916 --> 00:26:05,387
Tye: simple terms, like you know that line, look
768
,447 --> 00:26:07,472
Tye: down before you see it and then look back
769
,552 --> 00:26:07,632
Tye: up.
770
,712 --> 00:26:09,103
Tye: Trust me, it's an old movie star trick.
771
,203 --> 00:26:12,712

772
,201 --> 00:26:16,410
Tye: You know that was fun, you know, yes, it
773
,430 --> 00:26:18,383

775
,001 --> 00:26:23,226
Tye: same boat the entire time, kind of going
776
,246 --> 00:26:26,212
Tye: through it together in a way, which, which
777
,232 --> 00:26:29,304
Tye: was cool, um, but yeah, no, he's.
778
,384 --> 00:26:34,012

779
,412 --> 00:26:37,302

Tye: make movies with.
783
,202 --> 00:26:45,066
Marc: I would do it again in a Now you've been
784
,106 --> 00:26:47,231
Marc: involved in producing stuff also, correct,
785
,311 --> 00:26:47,873
Marc: have you?
786
,893 --> 00:26:49,303
Marc: So you're, you're starting to get involved
787
AI in Film Industry and Creativity
,344 --> 00:26:50,608
Marc: in kind of the you know the meat and
788
,648 --> 00:26:52,145
Marc: potatoes get some movies made, have.
789
,266 --> 00:26:54,597
Marc: Is that kind of where you're going?
790
,617 --> 00:26:55,801
Marc: You think you know you want to get more
791
,841 --> 00:26:57,402
Marc: involved in producing, maybe direct
792
,442 --> 00:26:57,762
Marc: something.
793
,463 --> 00:27:00,264
Tye: Yeah, I mean, I think, like I said, you
794
,284 --> 00:27:02,186
Tye: know, when I, when I first walked onto a
795
,226 --> 00:27:04,448
Tye: film set, the acting was just as new to me
796
,168 --> 00:27:07,130
Tye: as everything else, and so, you know,
797
,350 --> 00:27:09,632
Tye: entire filmmaking process has always been
798
,672 --> 00:27:10,473
Tye: fascinating to me.
799
,314 --> 00:27:13,175
Tye: You know, from day one, I wanted to know
800
,576 --> 00:27:15,237
Tye: what everyone's role was, what they were
801
,277 --> 00:27:21,622
Tye: doing, why it took so many people to make
802
,642 --> 00:27:22,163
Tye: films, why it was so slow.
803
,183 --> 00:27:23,045
Tye: And you know, having worked on small films
804
,065 --> 00:27:23,907
Tye: and big films, I just am a curious guy,
805
,947 --> 00:27:26,935
Tye: naturally, and I just was really curious
806
,975 --> 00:27:28,884
Tye: about how do these big, how do these big
807
,925 --> 00:27:31,191
Tye: movies work and how much, how much money do
808
,211 --> 00:27:32,121
Tye: you need to to?
809
,402 --> 00:27:35,069
Tye: You know, to have this, you know this
810
,089 --> 00:27:37,082
Tye: amount of visual effects in your, your
811
,122 --> 00:27:38,405
Tye: films, and why, and why does it?
812
,427 --> 00:27:40,550
Tye: Why do you need so many artists?
813
,590 --> 00:27:42,240
Tye: So I think, like all of these questions
814
,280 --> 00:27:44,962
Tye: have really kind of influenced, you know,
815
,002 --> 00:27:46,503
Tye: the work that I'm doing.
816
,884 --> 00:27:50,947
Tye: You know, beyond acting, I'm producing a
817
,987 --> 00:27:53,509
Tye: number of films, including this film that
818
,529 --> 00:27:55,210
Tye: comes out at the end of the month Asphalt
819
,230 --> 00:27:57,191
Tye: City, several years back, it's called
820
,211 --> 00:28:07,862
Tye: Wonder Dynamics and essentially what we're
821
,882 --> 00:28:09,924
Tye: doing is we're building AI-driven
822
,944 --> 00:28:14,669
Tye: production tools that are really meant to
823
,050 --> 00:28:20,215
Tye: make Hollywood-level effects more
824
,315 --> 00:28:22,560
Tye: attainable for the indie filmmaker, so
825
,601 --> 00:28:23,583
Tye: allowing indie filmmakers.
826
,603 --> 00:28:25,007
Marc: Well that's that's fascinating that you
827
,027 --> 00:28:26,712
Marc: jumped on top of that, because I'm not like.
828
,920 --> 00:28:29,868
Marc: I just read Tyler Perry put on hold some
829
,888 --> 00:28:30,710
Marc: studio development in.
830
,770 --> 00:28:32,401
Marc: Atlanta because he doesn't know how some of
831
,421 --> 00:28:34,969
Marc: this tech's going to overtake the need to
832
,029 --> 00:28:35,952
Marc: have large studios.
833
,881 --> 00:28:37,984
Tye: And it's moving so quickly.
834
,084 --> 00:28:40,129
Tye: You know, I think and you have to be very
835
,550 --> 00:28:42,463
Tye: you know it's it's it's a very sensitive
836
,503 --> 00:28:45,150
Tye: topic in I all industries, but especially
837
,191 --> 00:28:45,732
Tye: in Hollywood.
838
,000 --> 00:28:51,904
Tye: I think artists feel threatened by AI and I
839
,924 --> 00:28:55,311
Tye: think, for us my co-founder and I his name
840
,351 --> 00:28:56,934
Tye: is Nikola we're both artists ourselves.
841
,180 --> 00:28:58,726
Tye: He was a visual effects artist and then
842
,766 --> 00:29:00,943
Tye: turned supervisor, and I obviously come
843
,983 --> 00:29:09,601
Tye: from a background in acting, come from a
844
,641 --> 00:29:10,704
Tye: background in acting, and so for us it was
845
,724 --> 00:29:12,007
Tye: really important that we use AI and machine
846
,067 --> 00:29:13,250
Tye: learning to support artists, not to replace
847
,290 --> 00:29:15,582
Tye: them, and in July last year, we launched a
848
,622 --> 00:29:17,626
Tye: product called Wonder Studio, which is a
849
,666 --> 00:29:21,934
Tye: web-based cloud platform that essentially,
850
,974 --> 00:29:25,289
Tye: you can upload any 2D video and extract the
851
,349 --> 00:29:27,546
Tye: animation data, but not only the animation
852
,607 --> 00:29:27,868
Tye: data.
853
,908 --> 00:29:29,276
Tye: You can extract the lighting and your
854
,316 --> 00:29:32,285
Tye: camera information and essentially build
855
,305 --> 00:29:36,656
Tye: your visual effects shot and automate the
856
,696 --> 00:29:40,986
Tye: process up to 80% so that it's more
857
,107 --> 00:29:43,312
Tye: attainable for the indie filmmaker, so to
858
,332 --> 00:29:45,266
Tye: speak, and then you can take that into 3d
859
,286 --> 00:29:48,438
Tye: softwares and and continue working in the
860
,458 --> 00:29:48,760
Tye: process.
861
,860 --> 00:29:51,027
Tye: So it's not really like a black box or
862
,067 --> 00:29:52,291
Tye: replacing artists in any way.
863
,340 --> 00:29:53,905
Tye: It's really meant to support artists, if
864
,965 --> 00:29:54,286
Tye: anything.
865
,346 --> 00:29:57,061
Tye: But but yeah, and then you know.
866
,122 --> 00:29:59,722
Tye: So it's, it's, it's all you know it's very
867
,762 --> 00:30:08,560
Tye: pivotal time in our in our industry, and I
868
,580 --> 00:30:09,686
Tye: think that we really need to be having
869
,706 --> 00:30:10,710
Tye: conversations around what the future looks
870
,730 --> 00:30:10,811
Tye: like.
871
,831 --> 00:30:11,835
Tye: You know, and looking out on the horizon
872
,855 --> 00:30:12,639
Tye: and trying to understand.
873
,659 --> 00:30:14,364
Tye: You know where it's all going and how.
874
,046 --> 00:30:17,472
Tye: You know we can think about our careers in
875
,492 --> 00:30:19,301
Tye: the most ethical sense, in terms of you
876
,321 --> 00:30:21,105
Tye: know not to stifle innovation but really,
877
,125 --> 00:30:24,050
Tye: you know use it to to support artists right
878
,090 --> 00:30:26,701
Tye: and tell better stories, and so, yeah, I
879
,741 --> 00:30:30,021
Tye: think anything to that nature is is
880
,463 --> 00:30:32,412
Tye: interesting and fascinating.
881
,500 --> 00:30:33,365
Marc: I think it's fascinating.
882
,406 --> 00:30:34,794
Marc: I mean the fact that you can actually um,
883
,814 --> 00:30:36,684
Marc: you know I do it, like I said, a lot of
884
,704 --> 00:30:38,936
Marc: voiceover and then, within that aspect of
885
,977 --> 00:30:40,361
Marc: the industry, there's a lot of worry
886
,461 --> 00:30:44,444
Marc: because it can, it can replace voice, but I
887
,484 --> 00:30:47,046
Marc: always, like I tell, I teach students to
888
,126 --> 00:30:48,907
Marc: teach voiceover as well and I said, listen,
889
,628 --> 00:30:51,149
Marc: ever since I got into this over 30 years
890
,189 --> 00:30:53,011
Marc: ago, it's always been authentic, natural,
891
,211 --> 00:30:54,031
Marc: real person.
892
,071 --> 00:30:56,674
Marc: People crave authenticity, I believe, and
893
,694 --> 00:30:57,974
Marc: that's the reason why I don't think AI will
894
,015 --> 00:31:00,396
Marc: ever replace in the sense that I think
895
,416 --> 00:31:01,337
Marc: people are worried about.
896
,280 --> 00:31:09,183
Marc: But there are still questions out there.
897
,203 --> 00:31:10,126
Marc: You know, and I'd like you're saying it can
898
,146 --> 00:31:10,969
Marc: supplement really well and give maybe
899
,009 --> 00:31:12,173
Marc: people that the only barrier between where
900
,194 --> 00:31:13,582
Marc: they're at and where they want to go be
901
,602 --> 00:31:14,465
Marc: being finances.
902
,525 --> 00:31:15,901
Marc: It sounds like what you're saying is this
903
,921 --> 00:31:18,227
Marc: can kind of help them overcome that and
904
,248 --> 00:31:19,901
Marc: maybe take some filmmakers who you may not
905
,942 --> 00:31:20,826
Marc: hear about and give them.
906
,320 --> 00:31:23,371
Marc: Is that kind of what you're looking at this
907
,451 --> 00:31:25,541
Marc: as a way to kind of give people tools they
908
,561 --> 00:31:26,303
Marc: wouldn't have otherwise?
909
,885 --> 00:31:27,727
Tye: Yeah, exactly that's.
910
,787 --> 00:31:29,372
Tye: That's definitely our mission at the
911
,420 --> 00:31:29,781
Tye: company.
912
,322 --> 00:31:32,386
Tye: Um, it was really try to democratize.
913
,446 --> 00:31:36,074
Tye: You know, big stories for anybody, anywhere
914
,540 --> 00:31:36,761
Tye: you know.
915
,781 --> 00:31:38,104
Tye: So it's not so localized.
916
,124 --> 00:31:40,389
Tye: You don't have to be, you know, in
917
,429 --> 00:31:43,483
Tye: Hollywood to make these kinds of movies.
918
,984 --> 00:31:46,630
Tye: Um, you can be anywhere in the world and I
919
,670 --> 00:31:47,733
Tye: think that's.
920
,662 --> 00:31:49,664
Tye: Yeah, it's really exciting.
921
,684 --> 00:31:51,650
Marc: And you're in a creative industry, of
922
,710 --> 00:31:55,113
Marc: course, but and you're very busy also but
923
,153 --> 00:31:56,238
Marc: when you're not doing this, what are you
924
,258 --> 00:31:56,459
Marc: doing?
925
,479 --> 00:31:57,583
Marc: I mean, what are the things that are kind
926
,623 --> 00:31:59,689
Marc: of keeping you captivated, you know, so
927
,709 --> 00:32:01,963
Marc: you're not burning out on the uh, acting
928
,023 --> 00:32:03,827
Marc: thing, um, what do you do?
929
,887 --> 00:32:04,047
Marc: What?
930
,268 --> 00:32:05,490
Marc: What kind of things are out there to keep
931
,590 --> 00:32:07,114
Marc: some variety in your life?
932
,200 --> 00:32:09,940
Tye: The acting thing is a very sweet gig, you
933
,960 --> 00:32:13,504
Tye: know, if you just want to be an actor, it
934
,544 --> 00:32:14,126
Tye: can be great.
935
,223 --> 00:32:17,728
Tye: And I think for certain actors that reach a
936
,768 --> 00:32:19,745
Tye: certain level, like you know, I have
937
,766 --> 00:32:22,803
Tye: friends that you know they're actors and
938
,904 --> 00:32:27,528
Tye: they're, you know, they have a very amazing
939
,568 --> 00:32:29,302
Tye: body of work and they've reached a certain
940
,342 --> 00:32:31,689
Tye: level in their career and that's all they
941
,729 --> 00:32:32,752
Tye: want to do, that's all they.
942
,260 --> 00:32:35,586
Tye: That's what they love doing and they're
943
,606 --> 00:32:38,092
Tye: just looking for the next best script, you
944
,112 --> 00:32:40,725
Tye: know, and they don't really care about
945
,765 --> 00:32:42,308
Tye: anything else.
946
,388 --> 00:32:44,091
Tye: You know that's the thing they love doing.
947
,111 --> 00:32:46,175
Tye: About anything else, that's the thing they
948
,195 --> 00:32:46,756
Tye: love doing.
949
,776 --> 00:32:49,206
Tye: I think, for me, I'm kind of of the mind
950
Balancing Acting and Entrepreneurship
,267 --> 00:32:52,067
Tye: that in the school of thought that really
951
,087 --> 00:32:54,863
Tye: the best opportunities come when you create
952
,883 --> 00:32:55,586
Tye: them for yourselves.
953
,225 --> 00:32:59,651
Tye: So I'm constantly asking myself how can I,
954
,361 --> 00:33:06,310
Tye: you know, be uh procreative and uh, I think
955
,810 --> 00:33:08,033
Tye: I'm, uh, I like to.
956
,333 --> 00:33:09,801
Tye: I'm a kind of a workaholic, I like to be
957
,821 --> 00:33:10,964
Tye: busy, you know.
958
,004 --> 00:33:12,969
Tye: So the acting thing, just acting
959
,009 --> 00:33:15,563
Tye: specifically, takes up very little of my
960
,603 --> 00:33:15,843
Tye: time.
961
,405 --> 00:33:18,449
Tye: Um, it's really only when I'm working on
962
,509 --> 00:33:20,621
Tye: films or in preparation to go work on films,
963
,283 --> 00:33:22,506
Tye: and then the rest of the time, you know, it
964
,526 --> 00:33:24,191
Tye: was really kind of dedicated to my startup
965
,621 --> 00:33:26,265
Tye: wonder dynamics, and then, you know,
966
,285 --> 00:33:29,071
Tye: producing other projects as well and
967
,372 --> 00:33:29,873
Tye: development.
968
,000 --> 00:33:32,305
Tye: So I actually spend more time, you know,
969
,385 --> 00:33:34,931
Tye: these days doing the startup thing and
970
,412 --> 00:33:38,820
Tye: developing projects than I do acting.
971
,920 --> 00:33:40,084
Marc: Well, it's funny what you said about the
972
,104 --> 00:33:41,989
Marc: thing about acting, having to be I don't
973
,009 --> 00:33:43,231
Marc: think it's easy, I'm not saying that, but
974
,251 --> 00:33:44,132
Marc: you know, if you're a director director,
975
,152 --> 00:33:45,693
Marc: you've married yourself to a project for
976
,753 --> 00:33:46,473
Marc: well over a year.
977
,573 --> 00:33:48,835
Marc: You know, uh, but acting, I was speaking to
978
,875 --> 00:33:50,116
Marc: the uh, anya Savchich.
979
,396 --> 00:33:51,957
Marc: She was on the show with Ron Livingston, uh,
980
,157 --> 00:33:52,697
Marc: loudermilk.
981
,218 --> 00:33:54,662
Marc: Well, because she said he had made this
982
,702 --> 00:33:56,708
Marc: comment to her like she's like something
983
,728 --> 00:33:57,470
Marc: about directing, doing.
984
,510 --> 00:33:58,761
Marc: He's like no, I like the acting thing.
985
,821 --> 00:34:00,685
Marc: Show up, do my thing, get to leave.
986
,005 --> 00:34:03,590
Marc: You know that's yeah, in a way, it's it's.
987
,950 --> 00:34:06,034
Marc: You know it's relative, relatively
988
,094 --> 00:34:07,363
Marc: stress-free and you look at the people
989
,403 --> 00:34:08,867
Marc: having to like, look at budgets and all
990
,908 --> 00:34:09,690
Marc: that other kind of stuff.
991
,720 --> 00:34:11,284
Marc: You'd show up and have some fun.
992
,384 --> 00:34:13,329
Marc: But, um, the things that you're doing
993
,890 --> 00:34:14,813
Marc: intrigue you and stuff.
994
,880 --> 00:34:16,785
Marc: But like, would you have any like outside
995
,845 --> 00:34:18,329
Marc: interests things you'd like to do?
996
,389 --> 00:34:19,512
Marc: Are you big into traveling?
997
,620 --> 00:34:21,829
Marc: Do you uh, hobbies, music, anything?
998
,260 --> 00:34:24,125
Tye: Oh, yeah, yeah, no, I used to be.
999
,225 --> 00:34:25,749
Tye: I used to have a lot more time for hobbies.
Speaker:1000
,820 --> 00:34:33,563
Tye: You know, these days I'm pretty much
Speaker:1001
,583 --> 00:34:34,467
Tye: working a lot, but but yeah, no, I'm a, I'm
Speaker:1002
,487 --> 00:34:34,929
Tye: a big outdoors guy.
Speaker:1003
,949 --> 00:34:35,693
Tye: I love the outdoors, I love I'm a big
Speaker:1004
,713 --> 00:34:37,239
Tye: adventure or any, any kind of adventure I
Speaker:1005
,259 --> 00:34:38,281
Tye: can find myself on.
Speaker:1006
,321 --> 00:34:39,382
Tye: That's, that's great.
Speaker:1007
,503 --> 00:34:40,644
Tye: I like to travel alone.
Speaker:1008
,985 --> 00:34:41,605
Tye: I like to.
Speaker:1009
,306 --> 00:34:43,948
Tye: I like to hunt and fish a lot, I like, I
Speaker:1010
,968 --> 00:34:46,011
Tye: like to fly fish and bow hunt.
Speaker:1011
,111 --> 00:34:48,634
Tye: So those are kind of my, my outdoor hobbies,
Speaker:1012
,654 --> 00:34:48,894
Tye: yeah.
Speaker:1013
,655 --> 00:34:50,176
Marc: Snowboarding.
Speaker:1014
,356 --> 00:34:52,722
Marc: When you travel with someone else, you got
Speaker:1015
,742 --> 00:34:54,246
Marc: to make sure your itinerary kind of
Speaker:1016
,266 --> 00:34:55,790
Marc: something they want to do also, you know,
Speaker:1017
,810 --> 00:34:56,841
Marc: but you're on your own, you're.
Speaker:1018
,962 --> 00:34:58,760
Marc: You're kind of you're more of an explorer.
Speaker:1019
,860 --> 00:35:00,141
Tye: You're out there on your own just checking
Speaker:1020
,161 --> 00:35:02,583
Tye: stuff out, but yeah, maybe it sounds
Speaker:1021
,623 --> 00:35:06,145
Tye: selfish, but you get to do what you want to
Speaker:1022
,185 --> 00:35:09,248
Tye: do and no one else can chime in.
Speaker:1023
,548 --> 00:35:10,929
Marc: Well, you're kind of in your own headspace
Speaker:1024
,989 --> 00:35:13,311
Marc: exploring, and I think as an artist.
Speaker:1025
,591 --> 00:35:14,772
Marc: That informs you a little bit.
Speaker:1026
,832 --> 00:35:15,693
Tye: That's exactly right.
Speaker:1027
,913 --> 00:35:17,434
Marc: You're making me want to go look at a map.
Speaker:1028
,474 --> 00:35:18,074
Marc: I didn't realize.
Speaker:1029
,114 --> 00:35:20,496
Marc: I thought the Trinity River just ran south.
Speaker:1030
,576 --> 00:35:22,337
Marc: I didn't know it traveled into East Texas.
Speaker:1031
,820 --> 00:35:28,447
Tye: Now I've got to go look at that Southeast
Speaker:1032
,468 --> 00:35:28,689
Tye: from Dallas.
Speaker:1033
,709 --> 00:35:30,216
Tye: So the headwaters start northwest of Dallas
Speaker:1034
,300 --> 00:35:35,573
Tye: and then it dumps out into the Gulf Coast.
Speaker:1035
,100 --> 00:35:37,851
Marc: Are you any relation at all to?
Speaker:1036
,932 --> 00:35:39,541
Marc: I have to ask Taylor Sheridan because I
Speaker:1037
,562 --> 00:35:40,807
Marc: know he's in the neck of the woods.
Speaker:1038
,341 --> 00:35:42,223
Marc: Any relation at all.
Speaker:1039
,189 --> 00:35:45,883
Tye: I don't know, I don't think so.
Speaker:1040
,504 --> 00:35:50,320
Tye: Um, we, yeah, I don't, I don't, I don't
Speaker:1041
,421 --> 00:35:50,862
Tye: think so.
Speaker:1042
,942 --> 00:35:54,310
Marc: His, his folks, I think, are from waco, but
Speaker:1043
,350 --> 00:35:56,201
Marc: maybe, maybe, somewhere down the line well,
Speaker:1044
,221 --> 00:35:57,423
Marc: it's interesting because when they shot was
Speaker:1045
,463 --> 00:36:01,973
Marc: 1883, uh, they actually shot it where you
Speaker:1046
,993 --> 00:36:04,185
Marc: know it, like they were going across the
Speaker:1047
,225 --> 00:36:05,710
Marc: red river and all that kind of jazz.
Speaker:1048
,730 --> 00:36:07,286
Marc: I was like they really kept it true to you
Speaker:1049
,306 --> 00:36:08,129
Marc: know where they were shooting.
Speaker:1050
,250 --> 00:36:10,780
Marc: But I want to touch on the project you're
Speaker:1051
,800 --> 00:36:11,482
Marc: working on.
Speaker:1052
,582 --> 00:36:14,489
Marc: Is this your first Asphalt City?
Speaker:1053
,529 --> 00:36:16,493
Marc: Is this the first project you've produced?
Speaker:1054
,980 --> 00:36:19,306
Tye: This is the second or third project that
Speaker:1055
,326 --> 00:36:20,289
Tye: I've produced.
Speaker:1056
,793 --> 00:36:24,140
Tye: Yeah, and then I have a lot of projects
Speaker:1057
,180 --> 00:36:25,084
Tye: that are in the pipeline that I'm producing
Speaker:1058
,104 --> 00:36:25,747
Tye: that are really in development.
Speaker:1059
,767 --> 00:36:26,490
Tye: But, yeah, and then I have a lot of
Speaker:1060
,510 --> 00:36:27,575
Tye: projects that are in the pipeline that I'm
Speaker:1061
,595 --> 00:36:28,800
Tye: producing that are really in development.
Speaker:1062
,421 --> 00:36:32,528
Tye: But, yeah, asphalt City has been, you know,
Speaker:1063
,708 --> 00:36:34,853
Tye: a labor of love for a really long time.
Speaker:1064
Paramedics in New York City
,344 --> 00:36:37,728
Tye: I first got involved with the project back
Speaker:1065
,748 --> 00:36:38,471
Tye: in 2018.
Speaker:1066
,620 --> 00:36:41,884
Tye: And it's helmed by this director,
Speaker:1067
,924 --> 00:36:43,006
Tye: jean-stefan Salver, helmed by this director,
Speaker:1068
,486 --> 00:36:44,087
Tye: jean-stefane Salver.
Speaker:1069
,128 --> 00:36:45,790
Tye: He's a French filmmaker and he's made these
Speaker:1070
,830 --> 00:36:48,575
Tye: incredible movies like Johnny Mad Dog,
Speaker:1071
,540 --> 00:36:55,262
Tye: which was about child soldiers in a
Speaker:1072
,282 --> 00:36:56,486
Tye: nondescript country in Africa, and then he
Speaker:1073
,546 --> 00:36:58,371
Tye: made this movie called A Prayer Before Dawn,
Speaker:1074
,322 --> 00:37:01,349
Tye: which is incredible about this English
Speaker:1075
,730 --> 00:37:04,559
Tye: boxer who gets trapped in a prison in
Speaker:1076
,579 --> 00:37:06,525
Tye: Thailand and joins an inner prison boxing
Speaker:1077
,585 --> 00:37:08,982
Tye: ring, and so he's he's kind of made these
Speaker:1078
,062 --> 00:37:13,842
Tye: very visceral, hyper real movies of, you
Speaker:1079
,862 --> 00:37:15,947
Tye: know, these unique worlds, and he's a true
Speaker:1080
,188 --> 00:37:16,629
Tye: auteur.
Speaker:1081
,731 --> 00:37:20,293
Tye: And uh, and so, yeah, we, we, you know we
Speaker:1082
,514 --> 00:37:22,546
Tye: first, you know, I first got involved with
Speaker:1083
,566 --> 00:37:24,033
Tye: the project in the early stages back in
Speaker:1084
,053 --> 00:37:24,756
Tye: 2018.
Speaker:1085
,801 --> 00:37:26,764
Tye: And uh, and then, yeah, sometimes, you know,
Speaker:1086
,784 --> 00:37:27,707
Tye: I first got involved with the project in
Speaker:1087
,727 --> 00:37:28,790
Tye: the early stages, back in 2018.
Speaker:1088
,850 --> 00:37:30,636
Tye: And then, yeah, sometimes you know it takes
Speaker:1089
,656 --> 00:37:31,880
Tye: a long time to get these projects made.
Speaker:1090
,980 --> 00:37:36,843
Tye: But, yeah, we premiered the movie in Cannes
Speaker:1091
,004 --> 00:37:40,046
Tye: at competition last year and movies about
Speaker:1092
,386 --> 00:37:42,027
Tye: paramedics in New York City in New York
Speaker:1093
,047 --> 00:37:42,587
Tye: City.
Speaker:1094
,607 --> 00:37:44,449
Tye: So, obviously, you know, really, really
Speaker:1095
,509 --> 00:37:47,891
Tye: important subject and kind of I think,
Speaker:1096
,111 --> 00:37:51,294
Tye: really shines a light on medics and you
Speaker:1097
,314 --> 00:37:53,055
Tye: know the role that they play in our society,
Speaker:1098
,095 --> 00:37:54,796
Tye: how important they are and like some of the
Speaker:1099
,836 --> 00:37:56,858
Tye: trauma that they face on a daily level.
Speaker:1100
,078 --> 00:38:03,441
Tye: You know, I don't think people really
Speaker:1101
,461 --> 00:38:03,742
Tye: understand it.
Speaker:1102
,762 --> 00:38:04,523
Tye: You know I don't think people totally
Speaker:1103
,543 --> 00:38:05,344
Tye: understand what they go through.
Speaker:1104
,485 --> 00:38:06,707
Tye: It's a very close look at you know these
Speaker:1105
,767 --> 00:38:08,650
Tye: medics and it's really about you know a
Speaker:1106
,690 --> 00:38:12,282
Tye: young, a young rookie medic who I play, who
Speaker:1107
,322 --> 00:38:14,129
Tye: gets partnered, comes in and he's new on
Speaker:1108
,149 --> 00:38:16,579
Tye: the job and he's working in East New York
Speaker:1109
,599 --> 00:38:17,764
Tye: and he gets partnered with this veteran
Speaker:1110
,804 --> 00:38:20,214
Tye: medic who's Sean Penn, and so it's really
Speaker:1111
,254 --> 00:38:22,422
Tye: about their, their relationship and kind of
Speaker:1112
,462 --> 00:38:25,027
Tye: going through the in the trenches together.
Speaker:1113
,588 --> 00:38:27,472
Marc: Yeah, they live a very unique life and it's
Speaker:1114
,492 --> 00:38:28,662
Marc: funny what you said and I think you're
Speaker:1115
,682 --> 00:38:30,227
Marc: alluding to the kind of the stress they
Speaker:1116
,247 --> 00:38:31,842
Marc: potentially take at home how it colors your
Speaker:1117
,883 --> 00:38:32,103
Marc: life.
Speaker:1118
,143 --> 00:38:34,871
Marc: I had a good friend who I went to school
Speaker:1119
,911 --> 00:38:36,774
Marc: with, who was a flight medical care flight,
Speaker:1120
,258 --> 00:38:37,981
Marc: and you know in.
Speaker:1121
,302 --> 00:38:39,185
Marc: East Dallas area.
Speaker:1122
,225 --> 00:38:41,171
Marc: You know you have a really bad accident.
Speaker:1123
,300 --> 00:38:42,042
Marc: They send a helicopter.
Speaker:1124
,062 --> 00:38:43,988
Marc: Car accidents, yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker:1125
,730 --> 00:38:47,261
Marc: um accident.
Speaker:1126
,200 --> 00:38:48,900
Marc: They sent a helicopter.
Speaker:1127
,840 --> 00:38:49,116
Marc: A lot of car accidents, yeah, oh, yeah,
Speaker:1128
,055 --> 00:38:49,249
Marc: yeah, yeah, um, and he, you know, I, I went
Speaker:1129
,188 --> 00:38:49,765
Marc: to one of their get-togethers, a little
Speaker:1130
,704 --> 00:38:50,601
Marc: party, and they had, you know, some firemen,
Speaker:1131
,621 --> 00:38:52,589
Marc: flight medics and uh, you can kind of tell
Speaker:1132
,650 --> 00:38:54,558
Marc: that there was lots of steam that was
Speaker:1133
,578 --> 00:38:55,341
Marc: getting blown off.
Speaker:1134
,561 --> 00:38:56,604
Marc: You know, because of the thing is,
Speaker:1135
,905 --> 00:38:58,268
Marc: especially these flight medics they see
Speaker:1136
,308 --> 00:38:58,629
Marc: stuff.
Speaker:1137
,171 --> 00:39:01,163
Marc: I mean they're basically giving, uh, you,
Speaker:1138
,203 --> 00:39:02,205
Marc: of course you did this film.
Speaker:1139
,346 --> 00:39:05,052
Marc: You know there's certain latitude that the
Speaker:1140
,092 --> 00:39:09,323
Marc: paramedics have, but the flight medics it's
Speaker:1141
,343 --> 00:39:10,288
Marc: whatever they need to do to keep you alive.
Speaker:1142
,308 --> 00:39:11,253
Marc: You know they don't need to get approval
Speaker:1143
,273 --> 00:39:11,937
Marc: for as much stuff, I think, as the
Speaker:1144
,957 --> 00:39:13,081
Marc: paramedics do for certain procedures.
Speaker:1145
,603 --> 00:39:14,585
Marc: But he would tell me stories.
Speaker:1146
,625 --> 00:39:17,351
Marc: I'm like, wow, how do you come home and
Speaker:1147
,412 --> 00:39:20,023
Marc: come down from that every day, especially
Speaker:1148
,524 --> 00:39:22,808
Marc: like this film takes place in New York.
Speaker:1149
,088 --> 00:39:25,311
Marc: There's a whole lot more going on there.
Speaker:1150
,432 --> 00:39:26,593
Marc: Did you shoot it in New York?
Speaker:1151
,874 --> 00:39:29,365
Tye: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we were, yeah,
Speaker:1152
,646 --> 00:39:30,409
Tye: very much in New York.
Speaker:1153
,240 --> 00:39:33,144
Marc: What did you learn after playing a medic
Speaker:1154
,184 --> 00:39:35,008
Marc: that you didn't know about being a medic or
Speaker:1155
,048 --> 00:39:37,473
Marc: the process that was very intriguing for
Speaker:1156
,493 --> 00:39:37,594
Marc: you?
Speaker:1157
,841 --> 00:39:39,545
Tye: Well, because of the nature of
Speaker:1158
,825 --> 00:39:42,291
Tye: Jean-Stefan's films, the camera sees
Speaker:1159
,412 --> 00:39:43,500
Tye: everything you know there's.
Speaker:1160
,541 --> 00:39:45,443
Tye: No, it has to look real.
Speaker:1161
,463 --> 00:39:47,246
Tye: It has to be real, and so we spent.
Speaker:1162
,667 --> 00:39:50,511
Tye: I spent years doing ride-alongs with medics
Speaker:1163
,551 --> 00:39:50,911
Tye: in New York.
Speaker:1164
,172 --> 00:39:52,394
Marc: Really no kidding.
Speaker:1165
,814 --> 00:39:53,415
Marc: Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker:1166
,080 --> 00:39:57,729
Tye: Yeah, so we would travel in New York and we
Speaker:1167
,749 --> 00:39:59,152
Tye: worked with a lot of medics at Wyckoff
Speaker:1168
,172 --> 00:40:03,188
Tye: Hospital in Brooklyn and they were amazing.
Speaker:1169
,760 --> 00:40:07,684
Tye: They were kind of our advisors through this
Speaker:1170
,704 --> 00:40:08,528
Tye: process and would take us on ride alongs
Speaker:1171
,548 --> 00:40:09,332
Tye: and so you know they don't, they don't
Speaker:1172
,352 --> 00:40:09,633
Tye: really.
Speaker:1173
,915 --> 00:40:10,980
Tye: You know it was cool about the medic
Speaker:1174
,081 --> 00:40:12,260
Tye: community, the MS community.
Speaker:1175
,320 --> 00:40:15,047
Tye: It was like you know they're so excited.
Speaker:1176
,247 --> 00:40:16,731
Tye: You know that you're making a film.
Speaker:1177
,112 --> 00:40:19,686
Tye: You know it kind of conveys the life that
Speaker:1178
,706 --> 00:40:21,752
Tye: they live on a everyday basis.
Speaker:1179
,180 --> 00:40:26,562
Tye: Um, but they don't.
Speaker:1180
,582 --> 00:40:27,526
Tye: They don't treat you like an actor or
Speaker:1181
,546 --> 00:40:28,350
Tye: something like that, like they just throw
Speaker:1182
,370 --> 00:40:29,455
Tye: you the, you know the oxygen tank and
Speaker:1183
,475 --> 00:40:31,142
Tye: they're like carry this up, you know and
Speaker:1184
,262 --> 00:40:32,767
Tye: and and then you get and.
Speaker:1185
,787 --> 00:40:35,055
Tye: So what's amazing about medics?
Speaker:1186
,115 --> 00:40:36,660
Tye: It's like you never know what call you're
Speaker:1187
,680 --> 00:40:37,362
Tye: going to walk into.
Speaker:1188
,462 --> 00:40:41,291
Tye: Like the call comes in and it could be a
Speaker:1189
,371 --> 00:40:42,841
Tye: shooting, it could be a car accident, it
Speaker:1190
,861 --> 00:40:44,644
Tye: could be somebody having chest pains, it
Speaker:1191
,724 --> 00:40:46,587
Tye: could be someone who's drunk on the
Speaker:1192
,607 --> 00:40:48,610
Tye: sidewalk and sleep you never know.
Speaker:1193
,411 --> 00:40:54,004
Tye: And so you, you find yourself immersed in
Speaker:1194
,125 --> 00:40:58,431
Tye: these people's homes and in their worst
Speaker:1195
,491 --> 00:40:58,912
Tye: moments.
Speaker:1196
,312 --> 00:41:00,714
Tye: A lot of times, you know.
Speaker:1197
,755 --> 00:41:02,641
Tye: So you're, you're, you're very close with
Speaker:1198
,661 --> 00:41:03,802
Tye: someone and a lot of times your
Speaker:1199
,002 --> 00:41:06,405
Tye: responsibility is to keep them alive Did
Speaker:1200
,425 --> 00:41:08,006
Tye: you ever watch that TV show as a kid
Speaker:1201
,086 --> 00:41:08,787
Tye: Emergency.
Speaker:1202
,847 --> 00:41:10,068
Marc: It came out in the 70s.
Speaker:1203
,149 --> 00:41:14,252
Marc: Oh, it was Randolph Mantooth.
Speaker:1204
,692 --> 00:41:18,395
Marc: It was an offshoot of, I think, adam 12.
Speaker:1205
,435 --> 00:41:19,997
Marc: I mean, we're going way, way back.
Speaker:1206
,900 --> 00:41:29,123
Marc: But the interesting thing is that the whole
Speaker:1207
,143 --> 00:41:30,104
Marc: medic thing was not even really a thing.
Speaker:1208
,124 --> 00:41:31,086
Marc: It really is a much newer idea, you know,
Speaker:1209
,126 --> 00:41:33,531
Marc: from the early late 60s, early 70s on.
Speaker:1210
,731 --> 00:41:34,052
Marc: You know.
Speaker:1211
,653 --> 00:41:36,102
Marc: You know, one of the things that I think is
Speaker:1212
,162 --> 00:41:38,769
Marc: fascinating about it is you know you, like
Speaker:1213
,809 --> 00:41:40,341
Marc: you said, you never know what you're going
Speaker:1214
,361 --> 00:41:42,807
Marc: to walk into, like I know people do ride
Speaker:1215
,827 --> 00:41:44,372
Marc: alongs for roles when they're, you know,
Speaker:1216
,420 --> 00:41:45,143
Marc: going to be a policeman.
Speaker:1217
,640 --> 00:41:53,606
Marc: Certain things that are common with medics
Speaker:1218
,626 --> 00:41:54,451
Marc: how they like to navigate their day, when
Speaker:1219
,471 --> 00:41:55,718
Marc: they take a break, or what do they like to
Speaker:1220
,738 --> 00:41:55,778
Marc: do.
Speaker:1221
,561 --> 00:41:58,145
Marc: What did you pick up on from the medics?
Speaker:1222
,806 --> 00:42:00,931
Marc: That's pretty universal between everybody
Speaker:1223
,971 --> 00:42:01,993
Marc: who does that gig.
Speaker:1224
,184 --> 00:42:04,849
Tye: Yeah, there are a lot of things.
Speaker:1225
,220 --> 00:42:06,082
Tye: There are a lot of things, it's lot of
Speaker:1226
,102 --> 00:42:06,222
Tye: things.

Marc: Last couple of questions is if you weren't

Marc: doing this, if you weren't finding the
Speaker:1464
,544 --> 00:50:55,248
Marc: success and joy in doing this, what would
Speaker:1465

Marc: you be doing for a living?
Speaker:1466
,120 --> 00:51:00,485
Tye: Yeah, I think about that often, um, and I
Speaker:1467
,545 --> 00:51:04,190
Tye: don't know if I have, like, uh, an answer,

Speaker:1470
,580 --> 00:51:11,881
Tye: type.
Speaker:1471
,482 --> 00:51:14,727
Tye: Uh, I think, you know, maybe I would have
Speaker:1472
,747 --> 00:51:17,153
Tye: found some form of storytelling if it
Speaker:1473
,173 --> 00:51:19,808
Tye: wasn't, if it wasn't film, I'd like to
Speaker:1474
,848 --> 00:51:20,270
Tye: think that.
Speaker:1475
,752 --> 00:51:22,639
Tye: But then again, maybe it's you know, maybe
Speaker:1476
,659 --> 00:51:24,786
Tye: it would be some kind of adventure or a
Speaker:1477
,846 --> 00:51:26,331
Tye: hunting guide or something like that.
Speaker:1478
,480 --> 00:51:27,464
Marc: It's definitely going to be outside

Speaker:1480
,381 --> 00:51:31,266
Marc: The last question is 16-year-old you.
Speaker:1481

Marc: talk to 16-year-old Ty.
Speaker:1483
,640 --> 00:51:35,683
Marc: What's that piece of advice?
Speaker:1484
,924 --> 00:51:37,769
Marc: Or knowledge, or guidance either, to put
Speaker:1485
,789 --> 00:51:40,397
Marc: you on a little bit different path, maybe
Speaker:1486
,437 --> 00:51:41,580
Marc: make that moment of your life better.
Speaker:1487
,700 --> 00:51:43,427

Speaker:1488
,467 --> 00:51:43,588
Marc: you?
Speaker:1489
,101 --> 00:51:48,975
Tye: moment of your life better.
Speaker:1490
,995 --> 00:51:50,640
Tye: What's that piece of advice to 16 year old
Speaker:1491
,660 --> 00:51:55,611
Tye: you, you know you don't have to.
Speaker:1492
,053 --> 00:51:56,837
Tye: You don't have to.
Speaker:1493
,897 --> 00:51:57,379
Tye: It's not a race.
Speaker:1494
,300 --> 00:52:02,342
Tye: You don't have to stack it all up on your
Speaker:1495
,382 --> 00:52:02,904
Tye: plate at one time.
Speaker:1496
,924 --> 00:52:03,365
Tye: You know you can.
Speaker:1497

Tye: yourself too many responsibilities at one
Speaker:1499
,970 --> 00:52:06,231
Tye: time.

Tye Sheridan
Actor | Producer | Entrepreneur
Actor and producer Tye Sheridan shines on the screen by capturing audiences with his raw talent and unmatched versatility. Sheridan made an unforgettable debut at the tender age of 11 in Terrence Malick's cinematic masterpiece, "The Tree of Life," where he shared the screen with Brad Pitt, Sean Penn, and Jessica Chastain. He secured his breakout role in the film when he was recruited for an audition. After enduring a year-long process and triumphing over 10,000 other hopefuls, the role became his. Premiering to critical acclaim at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, the film clinched the prestigious Palme d'Or and earned three Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture. Sheridan's portrayal garnered well-deserved recognition, propelling him into IndieWire's esteemed "Top 25 Filmmakers and Actors" of 2011. Since this auspicious beginning, Sheridan has consistently delivered performances marked by depth, complexity, and insight, collaborating with some of the industry's most creative filmmakers.
Sheridan next stars in and produced ASPHALT CITY, opposite Sean Penn, which premiered at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival in competition under the title BLACK FLIES. For this role, Variety presented him with a Breakthrough Award, which highlights actors whose work has them poised to be some of the most promising talent in the business. Directed by Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire and scripted by Ryan King, ASPHALT CITY is an adaptation of a Shannon Burke novel, an intense thriller about lifesaving paramedics and the toll the job takes on them. Sheridan stars as Ollie Cross, an idealistic young man preparing for medical school who gets a street-side view of things, when he drives an ambulance alongside a grizzled veteran (Penn) who is considered to be one of the city’s best emergency medics. Tye launched his production company, Dogwood Pictures, with this feature as its debut film. Roadside Attractions acquired the North American film rights and will release theatrically in March 2024. Metropolitan will be releasing the film in France on April 3rd and on streaming on Amazon in the UK on April 19th, with FilmNation handling worldwide sales.
Sheridan will soon be seen in Justin Kurzel’s highly anticipated film, "THE ORDER," alongside Jude Law and Nicholas Hoult. In this gripping thriller, a determined FBI agent sets out on a mission to apprehend a radical group led by a charismatic leader.
Sheridan was most recently seen in George Clooney’s THE TENDER BAR for Amazon, starring opposite Ben Affleck. THE TENDER BAR adapts the memoir of the same name by Pulitzer Prize-winning author J.R. Moehringer, recounting Moehringer’s (Sheridan) adolescent years as he grows up on Long Island in search of a father figure among the patrons at his uncle’s (Affleck) bar. The film was released theatrically in December 2021.
Previously, Sheridan could be seen in the critically acclaimed THE CARD COUNTER, opposite Willem Dafoe, Oscar Isaac, and Tiffany Haddish. Written and directed by Paul Schrader, the film was one of the National Board of Review’s Top 10 Independent Films; opposite Colin Farrell in Neil Berger’s VOYAGERS for Lionsgate; and in Stephen Soderbergh’s thriller, WIRELESS, for Quibi which re-released on Roku in August 2021. In 2019, he reprised his role as Scott Summers/Cyclops in the latest installment of the X-MEN franchise, X-MEN: DARK PHOENIX for which he received a Kids’ Choice Award nomination. He also starred as the lead in Spielberg’s 2018 adaptation of Ernest Cline’s best-seller READY PLAYER ONE for Warner Bros. For this role, Sheridan received nominations for MTV Movie & TV Awards as well as Teen Choice Awards.
In addition to big budget films, Sheridan has also led a handful of character-driven independent films including THE NIGHT CLERK opposite Ana De Armas, about a young man with Asperger’s (Sheridan), who works the night shift at the front desk of a hotel. When a murder takes place at the hotel, he quickly becomes the main suspect. Sheridan also produced the feature; Alexandre Moors’ film adaptation of Kevin Power’s novel THE YELLOW BIRDS opposite Jennifer Aniston and Jack Huston; the psychological thriller DETOUR, opposite Emory Cohen and Bel Powley, Gravitas Ventures’ AGE OUT which follows a young drifter (Sheridan) fresh out of foster care at age 18, who turns to petty crime to survive and discovers an impossible love in an unlikely friend (Imogen Poots); and THE MOUNTAIN opposite Jeff Goldblum, which is the story of a young man (Sheridan), who after losing his mother, goes to work with a doctor specializing in lobotomies and therapies. The film premiered at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival.
In 2015, Sheridan starred in the three films that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. He co-starred opposite Gregg Turkington and Michael Cera in the drama ENTERTAINMENT, played a prisoner in the film adaptation of “The Stanford Prison Experiment”, and appeared in Rodrigo Garcia's drama “Last Days in the Desert opposite Ewan McGregor. That year, he also had a supporting role in the film adaptation of Gillian Flynn's DARK PLACES opposite Charlize Theron and the leading role in the horror comedy SCOUTS GUIDE TO THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE for Paramount Pictures and could be seen opposite John Travolta in the crime thriller THE FORGER in 2014.
Following his big screen debut in TREE OF LIFE, Sheridan captured the attention of audiences and critics alike when he starred as Ellis in the Jeff Nichols directed film MUD opposite Matthew McConaughey and Reese Witherspoon- which won the 2014 Film Independent Robert Altman Award- and as Gary in the David Gordon Green directed film JOE, which stars Nicolas Cage as an ex-con who meets a 15-year-old boy, the eldest child in a homeless family headed by an alcoholic father, and is faced with the choice of redemption or ruin. For this role he received the Marcello Mastroianni Award for best upcoming young actor at the 70th Venice International Film Festival in 2013. It was these roles that confirmed what everyone already suspected: that you don’t see this type of talent very often and in 2014, he was listed as one of Variety’s “10 Actors to Watch''. Sheridan has since continued to capture everyone’s attention.
Sheridan is as creative and innovative off-camera as he is on. In 2017, he founded, alongside Nikola Todorovic, Wonder Dynamics whose focus is utilizing AI and machine learning to develop cutting-edge technologies, innovative production tools and create original content. Wonder Dynamics is building an AI platform that will significantly speed up the production and post-production process for content involving CG characters and digital worlds. The goal of the platform is to reduce the costs associated with these productions by automating the “objective” part of the process, leaving the artists with the creative, “subjective” work. By doing this, they hope to create more opportunities and empower filmmakers with visions exceeding their budget.
