Director Hannah Marks Is Nervous To Meet You

[@vlogbrothers]

Hannah just wants to meet Hank. And the rest of you. Follow Hannah on instagram: instagram.com/hannahgmarks/?hl=en p.s. yes there is an extended cut: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmGsqXiGpZd2iZo

[@tomrogue13]

I think Hannah should be a guest on DH&J just so she can meet Hank

[@luciajaime2439]

The extended cut, also known as the director's cut. Hannah is great! Can't wait to watch the movie :)

[@MasterJediJason]

@@SylviaRustyFae my first video was Hank's harry potter one..I had no idea there was such a wonderful community and here I am all these years later. I have never missed a video or a podcast. I genially feel emotions toward the brothers Green.

[@AidanKedzierski]

For Hannah: Your portrayal of Amanda in Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency is the best depiction of chronic pain with flare-ups that I've ever seen. I live with fibromyalgia, which is like, less painful pararibulitus without the halucinations and with fatigue. But that scene in the grocery where you showed Amanda being scared to go but excited as through most of the trip she didn't flare up made me feel so seen. No character in anything I've seen has ever had fibro and your portrayal of Amanda is the closest I've ever gotten to seeing that part of myself on screen so thank you Hannah so much for that.

[@PhoebeHB]

Omg I knew I recognised her from somewhere! She was so great in that show.

[@nataliemccarthy9140]

HOLY SHIT SHES AMANDA!! I LOVED THAT SHOW AND I LOVE AMANDAS PERSERVERENCE IN THE FACE OF PAIN. I know amanda is just a character and not Hannah but this makes me feel like this movie is in capable hands

[@knitterknerd]

I will grieve the cancellation of that show forever. It looked like season 3 was going to be all about Amanda, too! That show dealt so well with things like chronic pain, fear, and self-doubt. They even showed a female character in her underwear without even the tiniest hint of sexualizing her. The showrunner was a jerk, but the show did everything right. The world is still a better place for having that show in it, but I sure wish we could have had more of it.

OMG Thank you. It was driving me crazy. That's where I've seen her before... Yes she was so much fun in that!!

[@rmdodsonbills]

@@radagastwiz She seemed kind of familiar to me even in Dirk Gently, and indeed, IMDB confirms she also had parts on Castle and Weeds, which I've also seen.

[@moontiger6393]

Everything is connected!

[@thefaboo]

"as Amanda in Dirk Gently" 😯 "another brilliant show" 😃 "sadly cancelled" ☹ You have no idea the rollercoaster I just went on

[@DakotaJamesCox]

I put zero thought into the importance of a director in a movie before this video but I’m already convinced Hannah is the perfect human for the job.

[@herranton]

It's a weird thing when you start noticing directors. I was about 16-17 and at the time I was big into Luc Besson. I still love a lot of his movies. But the one that I love now is Taika Waititi. A friend of a friend told me to watch _What we do in the Shadows_ and I was hooked. Then _Hunt for the wilderpeople_ came out and that was like the funnies shit ever. It was absolutely no surprise when he got the nod for Thor 3. If you like a movie, you should always check out other movies by the same director. Generally, you will like them too. It's not always true, but mostly.

[@grnkr]

@@herranton And have you watched Reservation Dogs from Watiti??? Amazing!

[@CassidyNP]

If this 4 minutes is a representation of even SOME of the wholesomeness of the filming experience I am even more excited to see the final product. Also this video really reminded me about how rare the genuine kindness of the Nerdfighter comment section could be and I love it 🧡

[@dermotlouchart191]

“Will I actually?” Is so pure! I can’t wait for the movie to come out, everyone involved seems super cool!

[@Izzy-Maurer]

The way she looks at him when he asks what her favourite colour is 😂. Can't wait to see her concept of how to visualise thought spirals, it sounds like it really helped get her the job!

[@seanmiller6747]

This was great, Hannah was great, it’s wonderful to see someone who cares about the source material directing the movie.

[@thomasbuckley6999]

For anyone wondering what you might recognize Hannah from, she played Amanda on Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. If you haven't seen it, go watch it! There's nothing else quite like it.

[@TSDTalks22]

THATS WHERE IVE SEEN HER

[@fabregas10kleine]

Thanks for this, she looked so familiar and I couldn't place it!

[@RachaePotter]

"There's nothing else quite like it" is the best way to describe Dirk Gently, it's so unique and quirky and I really wish it got more seasons

[@naahhhhHHHHHHHHHH]

A very select few of us will only recognise her from the the runaways hehe

[@paperspock]

I really like how John asked "Do you have a favorite color?" rather than "What is your favorite color?" because I used to not have one and the question would kind of stress me out a little. Eventually because I like orange-flavored things, I started saying my favorite color was orange. But at this point in my life I've said it for so long that I think I kind of do like the color orange.

[@Kyermemehtar]

Ha! That's brilliant 🙂 I've always really liked the word 'purple', but when you have a 4-year-old you need a favorite color. After 7 years of getting precious purple pictures, I'm properly partial to purple. "Do you have..." is certainly the superior question 👍

[@trbz_8745]

I used to say yellow because it's associated with happiness, but then I realized I didn't have a favorite color, but then I realized I DID have a favorite color but it's weirdly specific because it's cyan even though "normal" blue I don't like that much and if you're a straight man and you give someone a very specific favorite color they look at you funny.

[@noahfreeman8115]

She seems so wholesome, I trust her

[@EngEduMS]

Reading the book, the thought spirals made me think it would be unfilmable. It's great to know that Hannah came into the project exactly because of the way she would present them.

[@seashelleyd]

The combo of orange and teal always makes me think of PodCon. Hello, and welcome to nerdfighteria, Hannah! 🧡

The last time I saw orange symbolism feature so prominently in a movie was The Godfather... oh... oh no...

A lot post 90’s films have blue / orange color grading. They are on opposite sides of the color wheel and thus complement colors that look on a wide range of skin colors.

Honestly, I've always been skeptical of movie adaptations of books so I wasn't gonna watch the movie, but this video did it for me. It's just so nice to hear about the process behind this and all the thoughts that go into it. Plus Hannah is so lovely and not at all what I expected a director to be (I was pleasantly surprised). Can't wait to watch the movie when it comes out!

Similar feeling here! I was on the fence about the whole thing, but Hannah seems like the perfect person to real-ize the world and feel of the book. I'm really excited now. :)

[@MsMrExe]

Oh my god YES, thank you so much! This video and Hannah's thoughts just reassured me so much that this film will be amazing and go in with the best possible vision. I remember reading TATWD filled with so much emotion while connecting to Aza's struggle, and I could not stop thinking of the possibility of an adaptation and how thought spirals could be symbolised and captured on screen to *look* as the character would *feel* and I found it to be such an exceptional film to make. But I also dreaded an adaptation because I didn't know if the team involved would go for the same thing. I'm now so relieved to see everyone is so aware of Aza's brain being integral to the entire tale, and that the focus really is on exploring that in creative ways that make the experience come to life. Thank you so much, Hannah and John and everyone involved, for taking on this daunting task with so much considerate understanding of what is being explored and doing so much to make sure it's uniquely and faithfully represented. It gives me peace.

It is so amazing to see how much thought and work goes into directing a movie, when things like the orange/teal color scheme in the end really only translate to a feeling I have during the movie, and I just don't pick up on it consciously anymore.
