The Most Exciting Theater moment for the Audience

A moment that I'm really excited about audiences responding to at film festivals and beyond is the moment where I am doing a fake TikTok video dressed up in who knows what ancient clothing. I just kind of pulled down a box of costumes and asked my 14 year old son, "Hey son, you want to do a video of me doing this?"

And I come around the corner and like in this Cleopatra wig.

There's a point that I'm trying to make about how new cultures and communities arise and disappear, right?

When I'm doing a fake TikTok dressed up as an ancient person doing a video about results of their 23andme50bc saying things like, "Oh I thought I was half Phoenician but it turns out I'm Ottoman, and my husband thought he was Macedonian, but he's Hittite.

Just reminding people that through time there have been different groups and different groups, and there are going to be different groups; and those groups were made up of different people.

I always think about the New Eurekans. being one of the current groups that are, that are really coming together as a culture and identity, a language, a genetic makeup, right? And those sorts of things are going to keep happening.

So, yeah, don't stress.
