William Bridges, Brett Goldstein, and Imogen Poots discuss All of You at TIFF 2024.
The Big Picture Remember the butterflies in your stomach when you felt the rush of your first crush, and how that turned into trudging through a series of tragic first dates in hopes of finding that same feeling again? What if you could take the guesswork out of finding your soulmate? First released at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, director William Bridges' All of You pulls at this thread in a futuristic setting where the way humans approach love may have changed, but true...
Many, many questions about that story, but first, I wanted to talk about you two as collaborators because one of my absolute favorite things in this industry is when you find that creative partner that you know fits you perfectly. Can you tell me how the two of you met and the first thing you saw in the other that signaled to you,"This is an ideal collaborator for me?"
I like hearing about when opinions are important! Can you give me an example of a time when you felt inspired on set, you brought that idea to them, and they incorporated it into the final film? And like Brett said, over the next 15 years, as we went and made other things, we carried on the conversation about those characters and kept going back to their lives and going,"What would they be doing now? If one of them is married? What about if they have kids or if a parent dies or something like that?" We were trying to find milestones in their lives to go,"What would happen then?" I think we got to a point where we were like, “Well, why don't we just write it?...
GOLDSTEIN: We went and had a meeting a long time ago with — the worst part of this thing is I can't remember his name, which is so bad — but he's the most important quantum theoretical scientist working in England. He's a very important, incredible man whose name I can't remember. We went to see him because we had this idea, and we had a whole day with him where he explained quantum physics, which makes your eyeballs melt. The whole time, I was like, “Yeah, I think I understand.
BRIDGES: We wanted the audience to play detective on when we were meeting up with them again. The clues are in the way they greet each other, the dialogue that they have with each other, the event that they're going to, and the hope is that you find that a fun thing to do. You'll understand where they are in their relationship quite quickly with the way that they interact with each other straight away.
POOTS: I feel like so much of this film, especially everything we had together, wouldn't exist without the other. I genuinely think Brett, as a person, is an incredible listener. That's one of his most beautiful traits as an actor, is that there's a presence there that's just so engaging. Maybe it's because you've come from this comedy background, but there's an ability to just go with anything.
GOLDSTEIN: It didn't change dialogue-wise, but there's a scene just in terms of how we shot it. We planned to shoot in this particular location, but when we got to this location, there was this other space that had this particular lighting that almost looked — It was real, and it looked very magic. It looked like God. There are these lights coming through the sky, coming through the windows at the top. We moved it all down there, even though that wasn't the plan.
GOLDSTEIN: Zara . Zara was an on-set PA who was fucking amazing and unflappable. Like I described with Will, she'd often be soaking wet, or literally on fire, and she'd be like, “You okay, guys?” BRIDGES: It's a tough one because when we first started, I used to say,"I don't believe in soulmates," even though I've been with my wife. I've known my wife since college, and we were friends first, and then we had a child together, then we got married and had another child. Looking back over this, having made this film, I'd probably say, yeah, I probably do believe in soulmates.
BRIDGES: I wonder if the real difference is time — being able to look back over time and say,"Yes." To look forward, it's so hard to know, to be like,"Oh, I know what a soulmate is." But I think if you spend time with someone, you can look back over that time. That's probably how you would know.Imogen Poots Says Kristen Stewart Was Born to Direct "I think she's one of the greatest directors I've ever worked with in my life.
I also think respecting where it was taken, and perhaps as a truth to the nature of the show, I believe we did tell the story. The story of Outer Range is very much questions, isn't it? It's questions about the universe and about faith and about family and all these things. As long as those questions are asked, you've done the job. It's always hard when things end, but I’m really, really proud of what we did and of everybody in it.
