Good interview, great questions and answers, very respectful. Good for her going out there and getting something done with such complexity and of such magnitude. Having a father/mentor in your career would be a great boon, I can't count the number of times I've read about men and women taking up a similar career path as their parents (in business) and succeeded because of the help.

@adamcade604 Ай бұрын

I think it's kinda ironic that her favourite movie from her father is Lady in the water because it's both the one that she was literally hearing about every night by Shymalan according to the legend himself himself And the one that Sean considers his worst effort (yes even below TLA)!

I would really like to know if you asked her off camera what was her least favourite film from her dad's filmography because i am pretty sure she would pick like everyone else, except you, the TLA, and how she reacted when she saw the film because i have read that Shymalan got into making it because he first saw the show with his kids!
