Without This Woman
TheCreedactor reflects on her relationship with a fellow Hollywood creator.
I met Rebecca Hall while working onPassing.
I had long admired her from afar as an actor.
But she is also a writer, a director, and a producer.
It happened to be Thanksgiving right before we started makingPassing.
I think the chances to dothatin the context of work is pretty slim and probably for good reason.
If we let it all hang out at work, it might not be the most productive.
Sometimes the process of working as an actor can be, by necessity, a very lonely one.
Youre sort of going inside yourself, and your process is kind of secretive.
Theres a certain level of it thats shrouded in mystery.
With Rebecca, there was a kind of intimacy to that process that I hadnt experienced before.
Our process was so intertwined.
I sort of felt like a canvas in a way that I hadnt with a director.
It was so unique and aspirational.
Its been really impactful for me.
Shes become a North Star for me in a lot of ways.
There are people you meet and youre just like,I get you.Like, I understand what you are.
What you are makes sense to me.
I dont know how to explain that.
Its like a chemistry thing.
I think we have that for each other.
I feel very, very lucky to have that with her.
We have a relatively short amount of time on the planet.
Rebecca is that way.
Without Rebecca, I wouldnt have been able to see as clearly whatmightbe.
