Tamera is an Authority Editor for Collider. She mostly works behind the scenes for the site, and still can't believe she gets to spend time learning about and writing/editing for all the things she loves. Her first true love is horror. The good, the bad, and the ugly, she's going to drag you to the theater to see it.
The Big Picture At this year’s South by Southwest, writer, producer, and director Tracie Laymon world premiered her first solo feature directorial debut with Bob Trevino Likes It to glowing reviews from both critics and audiences.
Barbie Ferreira Unlocks Something New in 'Bob Trevino Likes It' This project was a first for Ferreira, as well, in some ways. The actress broke into Hollywood after her memorable turn as Kat Hernandez in Euphoria, then went on to work with Jordan Peele on his 2022 horror, Nope. But this indie project, she tells us, is unlike any of her previous roles. Ferreira explained:
TRACIE LAYMON: It's inspired by a true story. It's about a time when my dad kind of disappeared, and he was mad at me, and I was trying to reach him. I put his name into Facebook trying to find him and accidentally friended another man with his name who ended up being more kind and more fatherly to me than my dad ever was. So it's a story about that, about chosen family and how people are out there that wanna love you.
Anyway, it's great writing and great work from, you know, when you guys are sharing scenes because it's such an emotional reaction. BARBIE FERREIRA: It was such an amazing experience as an actor; and especially like I've only done a few things, and I'm always trying to unlock something. I was trying new things still to see what works, and with this, it just so naturally fell into place. Every single beat that I was emotional with, it wasn't I was thinking. It would just come over me, and I mean, I haven't experienced that so easily in any other project.
TRACIE LAYMON: Well, I'm a big fan of test screenings. I mean, luckily, in indie it wasn't someone telling me I had to do it or I had to do it a certain way. We were creating the test screenings and bringing people we trust. I can't say exactly what it was, but there were a few notes that we got from the test screenings from people we trust. I made the changes and I was like, "Ah.
FRENCH STEWART: It was just magical. I mean, it just I felt like everybody was with it from the beginning. You do a lot of movies, and every movie you do they'll tell you, "Well the dailies look great." But I've been in a lot of crappy movies Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2, it's gonna put you over the edge my friend. But like–FRENCH STEWART: Yeah. No, that one's actually pretty good. Anyway, but I think that for this, I felt it early on.
FRENCH STEWART: My days were shockingly similar. Wake up, have coffee, be mean to Barbie. Take four days off. Come back, have coffee, be mean to Barbie BARBIE FERREIRA: I was gonna say Curb Your Enthusiasm because I could just watch it so often. When it's like a drama, I love it but I don't want to keep watching it. I figured it out. With Curb you can just keep watching it over and over again. Recently actually, this is actually really funny one, I've been watching That's So Raven a lot with my friends, and I've been really nostalgic stuff so I've been watching That's So Raven a lot with my friends.
I really wish more social media was used like what's depicted in this movie. Did you end up with a lot of deleted scenes? Or is it, because you only had 18 days.
