Such a character arc is whatAlison Brie’s Amber experiences in the upcoming film “Spin Me Round.”
Well, Jeff [Baena] actually came to me with the idea.
They learned how to make a bolognese and they all took a photo and that was about it.
He saw great comedic potential in that, and he shared it with me.
She’s in a lot of debt and she doesn’t assert herself.
She lets people walk all over her a little bit.
When she gets this opportunity, she’s really excited about the idea of things happening to her.
Something in her life is going to change without her having to do much at all.
She hopes to fall in love.
Definitely and maybe not knowing how to get out of it.
“Will I have the ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ moment?”
Then, the reality is that on a surface level, not much is likely to change at all.
It’s not going to erase your debt.
It’s not going to change your job if you don’t make moves to change it.
It’s not nothing.
What was it like to work with such an incredible ensemble cast?
The cast is full of comedic talent.
Aubrey Plaza who doesn’t love “Parks and Rec”?
Zach Woods his performance as Gabe in “The Office” is still legendary.
What was it like to collaborate with such a talented cast?
It was such a joy.
Each one of these actors has such a unique style of comedy, a unique sensibility.
You talk about Zach Woods he’s such a unique straight man in his work.
Molly Shannon we’re giving her an opportunity to go off the rails and have fun with that role.
It makes me think of Debby Ryan many people know her from “Jessie.”
Aubrey Plaza has such a dryness to her comedy.
That must have been such a great melting pot of comedic styles.
Absolutely and Tim Heidecker.
To me, it’s so “Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!”
everything being so alt-comedy.
We have a lot of comedy rebels in the movie, which is really fun.
Overall, it was such a joyful experience.
Between takes, it was not like everyone was pulling pranks and making jokes.
It was this amazing bonding experience.
So many fans were sad when that show came to an end.
Obviously, it was canceled due to COVID.
What was that experience like?
How did it project you to this phase of your career that you’re in now?
That made it tricky.
It was definitely a surprise.
During that downtime, I was immersed in this different key in of creative outlet through writing.
I was writing this and I was writing a movie with my husband, Dave Franco.
“GLOW” as a job was life-changing for me in a lot of ways.
Working with Betty Gilpin … She’s so extraordinary.
That made me a better actress and helped me expand my perspective of how to look at acting.
Also getting to direct an episode of “GLOW” it was all part of this similar trajectory.
[In] any person’s life, one thing leads to the next thing.
Nothing comes out of nowhere.
But at the same time, it goes back to what I was saying [about the story].
