Cut to POA clip
BA: I have to say I enjoyed
this movie, and I didn't know what to expect, with Pieces of April and
I really had a good time.
KH: I'm glad.
BA: It's seems like a labor
of love for you.
KH:Yes it certainly was,
you know I read the script about a year before we went into production
and I was a fan of Peter's already and umm I was so moved by his script.
I then met with him and realized where this movie came from and that in
fact it was so personal to him and you know his mother passed away and
he took his feelings from that and this movie was kind of his homage back
to his mother and it's like "Oh my God" could I be part of this, and so
from the get go it was just this wonderful project that was so meaningful
to him so everyone involved just kind of fell in love with that and it
did become a labor of love, but really this project that everyone was greatful
for and just wanted to be a part of. Therefore the energy on the set was
one that was a unified force there was no selfishness and it was just really
was wanting to have a great movie and a very good portrayal of this particular
story and instead of wanting to have a good performance
BA: You just wanted to tell
the story
KH: Yeah
Cut to clip of POA
BA: He told me, I talked
to the director he said he orginally had it set up twice as a 7 million
dollar movie and he ended up doing on HD video for under 500 grand and
the fact that you stayed on board is a testament in it self.
KH: Peter and I talked about
so much in the course of that year about this movie and going through casting
and I was so connected to this movie it was hard because it kept falling
apart and I was like is this movie even going to be made and it finally
came together and I was excited to work with a digital camera and really
try to see the difference and umm I really liked the fast pace and you
know I'm use to the television pace so I like to prepare and do it.
BA: So when you're not working
what are you doing with yourself?
KH: Umm, just reading scripts
and watching movies and just figuring out everything.
BA: Right, and when you're
reading scripts and looking for that next project, What are you looking
for?
KH: Something truthful,
something maybe comedic, umm with a good director and good cast. You know
the ideal situation.
BA: There you go. (laughs)
KH: (laughs) You know that
has guarantee of being successful. (with a smile on her face)
BA: Good work.
KH: Thank you.
BA: Alright, good to catch
up with you again. (shakes her hand)
KH: You too. Nice to see
you.
