Idk. I am all for that conversation but I wish they didn't make that the whole thing. They complained about being pigeonholed as woman (which I have no problem with) but then pigeonholed themselves into only talking about being women. I'm just saying I would have also liked to hear them speak from the point of view of an artist and not a black female artist or a white female artist.

I already loved Issa Rae, and I love her even more in this. But, I've never heard of Brit Marling. This conversation, though, makes me really like her. She seems like a very interesting person, and that makes me want to check out The OA. I love the fact that she is clearly a big fan of Insecure. I like when creative people are openly fans of other creative people. It's endearing, in my opinion.

I really like her and her ideas but The Sound of my Voice and Another Earth definitely werent perfect. They both had cool concepts and were very good starting point. The OA on the other hand is an actual masterpiece in my eyes. She took it to the next level. I've been interested in her for a while but I think she just entered her prime. So it's exciting to see where she goes from here.

@neutronine7 жыл бұрын
Possible explanation - Looking to your left when thinking or talking is a way of remembering/recalling elements of past experience visually or auditorily. Brit was constructing a thoughtful reply to Issa's in-depth and complex questions drawing from her past experiences. Issa often looks in both directions , but I thinks that is because she is constructing new thoughts while also reflecting. she also looks straight ahead without focus, which is another way of thinking. Brits responses were usually quite long and usually required much reflection. But that said, I have ADD and I seldom make eye contact while talking as I get distracted easily.

@Blazeofthecentury6 жыл бұрын
Like Brit had said, it's like an 8 hour movie. Most 2 hour movies take years to make even for big name studios. So you can imagine why it would take Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij a few years to actually make another season. Even in this interview, at 25:20, Brit talks about the struggle of trying to create a film year after year.
