Welcome to early in your moment with your old bill sponsored by the California senior god and the village real estate today we have somebody very special on our show today we have Karen Allen you may know we're from Raiders of the Lost Ark alongside Harrison Ford but today she stands alone with her new movie year by the sea help me welcome Karen Allen to the show Karen welcome to our show thank you so much happy to be here oh it is our pleasure I can't believe how exciting it is to have you on our show and we are looking forward to many wonderful things together but this show I I mean your movie I read that year by the sea is a universal story can you share with our listeners what about the movie that makes you like gives you that that human experience won't give you a simple story really story ever was. Mn who put her career as a writer on the back burner to raise 2 young boys and to support her husband and his career in the business world and she was very happy doing that and felt very fulfilled doing that but she finds herself in her late fifty's her sons have gone off to school and are now starting to get married and move out into the world and she finds herself at this sort of point of. Transition of just trying to figure out what her husband is still very much involved in his work and she now you know finds herself wondering really whether she still has a voice as a writer what the rest of her life is going to be about and she gets very interested in exploring that. Kind of finding her own voice and finding asking these you know those important questions like What is she going to do with the next 25 years of her life and she feels that it's in a way a time to renegotiate her marriage that they're the raising of a family and the being the support system for you know a husband who has been very involved in his work was one part of her life but she's now about to enter a new part of her life and she needs to know that he's on board for you know her to to maybe move in another direction not a not away from him she doesn't want to end the marriage but she does want to kind of reconfigure her life and reconfigure their marriage. Amazing it really touches us all because you know the it's a universal story that's got you know almost like an identity crisis it's like Ok now this role is over now what well you know what's remarkable things like midlife crises you know which I mean that's a term that is very much a part of our our life but I think often when we talk about midlife crisis we talk about people in their forty's or maybe late forty's early fifty's but we're not necessarily really talking about this particular transition which is one that comes later it comes with tire meant I think for men sometimes also with retirement for women but but for women a lot of times it's you know it's what we call the empty nest syndrome it's right at that moment in which suddenly the kids are grown and and moved off into the world and you might get the phone call I think week or every day or every month for health whatever that is but it's not it's not a way of life anymore and the children need to be allowed to go off and grow up and have their own lives and the mother is is there to you know try to you know ask a lot of questions you know I think often it's in those moments that you know a husband and wife who's been together for 30 or 35 years they turn towards each other and sometimes that relationship has to some extent disintegrated or fallen apart it's almost as though they don't know who each other is anymore. And that's true but you know you took a kind of a an interesting gamble especially in Hollywood when you make a movie such as a year by the sea when you have 3 women portraying the age of 60. How it does doesn't really fit into the Hollywood stream what part of this year by the sea when you portray. An elderly woman. Appeals to you I mean that's kind of an interesting example well I mean you know the I'm that age I just turned 66 so I'm I'm not God bless you're not stepping into any shoes that are my heart already my own really. I think you know as as actresses who have you know been around you know for the you know through our twenty's and thirty's and forty's and fifty's you know we get we arrive in our sixty's and we don't want our lives to be any less interesting than the long I mean I would like there to be more films that are about people you know living in their sixty's and dealing with the issues that have to do with I mean we're we're a large group of We Are the baby and we are a large population of people who are very much film going audiences more so I think than younger people are these days so I think. Ultimately to find a way to make films that interest us more than a Marvel comic book movie night is is not a bad thing I mean I wouldn't call this a Hollywood movie in this in a sense is it was made on the East Coast it's it's the money was raised through you know if crowdfunding sort of resources this was not a film that Hollywood per se took up and said Oh we have to make this film and this is a film that's kind of very independently found its way to audiences and found its way to theaters but but without so much of help of you know oddly enough it's been an audience triggered film it's been the fact that audiences not only go to see the film but then respond to it is very very positive way that has really driven the film's success Well that's because of actresses like you when you portray are just so I want to say inspirational because it's true but do you feel the role it's kind of I don't know how to put it other than you're not acting if feels like you are really pre-training that person and we kind of feel with you in this life we want to see we're It takes you where your journeys go and how you find yourself and it's really inspirational to women everywhere. Watching you go from leaving your husband to going back east and just finding yourself who you are and I know Joan's book she she has a quote that who am I after the role of mother and wife you know she took a year off and it's nice to see how you took that year off and you put it into words into feelings and everybody could really can you talk about your experiences . During that transition what did you feel did you did you find your way did you find your experience do you mean in my own life in your own heart in working on the film Yes well both houses was a correlation I took most of my inspiration in this specific day of the film from Joan herself and her book I got to know John quite well as we were getting ready to make the film and then I I very much use the book as a kind of deeper understanding of all of the things that she in a very specific way was going through I mean there are there are certain similarities in my life to Joan and things other things that are very different I was a single parent through a lot of my life so I never really had the ability to put put anything on the backburner I was I was functioning on all burners all the time. And I also you know never really stopped working during that period of time I just had one child which I think made that a bit easier having to I think further complicates you know trying to be a single parent but she had her children very early in her life I had my son quite late in my life so I already had very much developed. A career and working you know being a working person in the world by the time my son was born so our experiences in some ways were very different but I think in motion only particularly with the you know the idea that. You know my son has grown up he's 27 years old he is out in the world on his own and you know living his own life I still have a very close relationship to him but it's certainly not the relationship I had when he. Living at home and when I was absolutely I know my my life to some extent in spite of everything one imagines it really does revolve around your children's life when you're when you're raising them. Mentorship mentorship is a big part of the theme of the movie who's a mentor in your life. Yet it is not your ship was huge for Joe she met Erick Erickson's wife Joan Erickson and Joan Erickson became a very strong influence in teacher in Joan's life and they stayed friends through through Joan Erickson passing. So that was a mentor in your life who is a mentor in my life I think I have had so many in different areas certainly you know I have worked with directors who have been mentors to me and I've learned a great deal from them acting teachers that I've worked with who have you know had a huge influence on my life and either even in other areas you know I'm I'm kind of very interested in things outside of the acting directing profession and. You know those those you know I have so many and for instance it's it's hard to pinpoint too many of them but but. Yeah I have I've you know I think great teachers and mentors are very very important part of of moving forward in growing in life. And what you what do you hope audiences take away from here by the sea. You know I I love films that open the door to conversations. And this film seems to have that strength and potential you know people have said to us afterwards which you know to some extent you know makes us smile and and think wow this is great you know people said to us I think you've saved our marriage you know they set certain things to has where it's the film seems to have this power on some level to provoke conversations that maybe people are shying away from having about how stuff they feel in their lives or or how maybe they feel as though they they would like to renegotiate their marriage they don't want to leave the marriage I think sometimes you know people have this tendency you know the harder thing can appear to be a renegotiation of the marriage like if if I'm actually going to grow and possibly be a more independent more. Centric version of myself will this person still love me or is that love based on need be more dependent and more kind of a follower like you know being somebody who's more allowing their life to evolve so I think everybody has these insecurities. And you know at the film raises some of the questions and people leave the film having those conversations and I always think of a film can do that it's really you know having having a great effect. Is Very well put and we would love to have you back again one day and let us. Know what's going to be next for you is there any. Next movie that you're working on that we know about I'll even 3 days to go and shoot another quite wonderful film it's called home well and who is shooting it in Pennsylvania and it's about community it's about a very small town that finds itself in danger of being a racist. Because the federal government has decided that certain towns aren't significant enough to continue to have a post office in the code and even be put on the map. And it's you know it's about people really struggling with what that means to their to their lives and. So it's you know it's a it's a very interesting lovely film again another the film it seems like all the films that I feel attracted towards these days and the ones that seem to. Because you're great at it do are kind of wonderfully indie film school play you know directors who are. Kind of out you know working outside of the boxes.
