He was one of the few directors I worked for that was very kind and respectful.

I got an email from Justin and then he called me out of nowhere and pitched to me the vision of the film. And so immediately I bought in and was like, yeah, I'm here for it. Like, you seem like you care a lot about the vision of what we're trying to do here and you're not in it for fame. So I was like, yeah, let's go. Let's build this film.

In my opinion, I find it very hard to believe the allegations against him. And considering his mission statement about the film and him genuinely pitching that he was doing this film to help young women, I just find it hard to believe the allegations, to be honest.

No, not at all. I would say I felt more comfortable being around Justin than a lot of film directors in my experience.

I feel like maybe Blake smelled his kindness, mistook it for weakness, and tried to take advantage and take power. So, yeah.

Probably, yeah. I think that there was a massive compromise in terms of Justin's original vision for the film. I think in film, we always want our work to have a meaningful impact. And a lot of us in film do it because we care. And to see it be overtaken by this was definitely a little bit sad.

it'd be nice if everybody could put their swords down, you know, and acknowledge their part in it and get along, but we don't really live in that world. Right. It's a little too late for that. So I hope that the truth comes out, you know, I hope that. Okay. That's enough.
