00:02 - The heart of the story centers around a relationship

00:07 and within that relationship is Hen,

00:08 played by Saoirse Ronan,

00:09 and she really understood that time is precious

00:12 and she wanted to live her life to the fullest,

00:13 so I really love that about her character.

00:16 - To me it felt like I got the opportunity

00:18 to revisit the characters in the story

00:21 that I had created in the novel,

00:22 but now I was doing it with a collaborator,

00:25 with Garth, the director.

00:27 - We just got along so well

00:28 and we had a very shared vision,

00:32 but we brought different qualities

00:33 to the adapting to screenplay

00:35 and we just really had a great time.

00:38 I went to Ontario, where he lives,

00:40 and visited farmers and farms,

00:44 did a lot of research together,

00:46 and yeah, it was just a really beautiful process together.

00:52 - I never really like to have big expectations

00:55 on what people will take away

00:56 because part of what I love when I'm going to see a movie

00:59 or read a book is that it might feel personal to me

01:01 when I go see it.

01:02 I might take something away

01:03 that another audience member doesn't

01:05 and I love that idea.

01:06 I love that idea with books too.

01:08 - The film asks you to recognize

01:12 that we are precious and our time is precious

01:15 and to make sure that we're being kind to ourselves

01:17 and to our partners and to respect the planet.
