All the scenes that have to do with the fact that, at the end of the day, we’re all engaged – hopefully some of us – in certain causes and ideals and certain ways of living, but we’re human, and we’re making all these mistakes, and we’re caught in particular systems – whatever it is – but ultimately, there’s a price paid by the people that are closest to you.

The End Of The Day

And with the Occupy Movement, it’s really ironic how the police come as representatives and enforcers of the powers that be, even though the people in the Occupy Movement are really on their side – not in terms of their behavior, but in terms of their economic status, in terms of who the police are in society and how much they’re paid, and if you boil it down to the economics of it, the police should be out there marching with the Occupy Movement.

Police

Another option, which I think is the thing that makes more sense, is this fact that the police are a reflection of the occupation of certain neighborhoods and certain parts of cities that are designed, basically, to keep the bottom down and basically maintain the status quo, but out of sight, so that the other side – the people in power, the people with money, the people with comfort, the people that are living in the “safer” areas – are sure that they can sleep safely in their bed while bad thing are happening to people and it’s not their problem.

Being in the moment with these guys was just a profound experience every day, and when we shoot a movie it’s actually a very short process, especially an independent movie like this. It was only thirty five days of shooting.

But the reality is that the police serve a certain function, to maintain a certain status quo, and that’s one of the things that the movie is about, because it basically gives you three options for looking at the police, as symbolized by Dave Brown.

Reality

First of all, we occupied Afghanistan and Iraq and I’m not even talking about the past occupation of them, I’m just talking about currently. And we all know that occupations, in military terms, comes down basically to policing, so you have an army basically functioning as a police force in these foreign territories as part of foreign policy. I’m not knocking that down, I’m just observing.

I enjoy the process of writing collaboration so there’s some stuff that already that may happen and then some stuff that I’m initiating that I may write on my own.

I have no idea what the next project will be and if there’s a next project. I don’t even know if we’re all going to be here tomorrow, but I’m pretty optimistic.

I mean, you always hope to have a part on every level, on every layer. For us it was very much a conversation about power and sexuality and brutality. And really all the issues that are in that world, in that space, come down to one word, which is “masculinity.

Space

I really feel that actors should really know who they are as characters; they should really study their lines; they should be prepared; but once they come to set, for me the most exciting way to shoot a scene is to really find it, really kind of grind your way through it, until you feel like you have something that you can put together.
