[0:00] Adrian Garzillo: Well, hello. Here we are, the Roundtable with Adrian at the Tribeca Film Festival. This is our first official red carpet of the day. There will be several more where this came from. And no, don't adjust your dials. I am not Robert Bannon. I am Adrian. Robert is off doing Motor City Pride, and John Garzillo and myself, my wonderful husband, we are here. John will be behind the camera. I will be in front of the camera. So please hold all your comments for when it's posted.

[0:37] Mark Duplass: Hi, here I am with this amazing cast with Mark, Katie, and Aura. What is it like being here to have this at the Tribeca Film Festival?

[0:45] Katie: So amazing. It's so fun. It's surreal. This is the first time I've had a film at Tribeca, so I'm thrilled to be here and to be here with the two people I love so much is so fun. I mean, last time Katie and I had a project in New York was 2005. We were dating, and now we're back here with our 16-year-old daughter. So it's kind of time warpy and surreal.

[1:09] Aura: That's so amazing. And how excited are you?

[1:10] Katie: I'm so excited, and I'm so excited that my first film kind of introducing myself is with my family and in a place that I love so much like New York. So I'm really excited to just show everyone this.

[1:20] Adrian Garzillo: That's so amazing. That's so fantastic. Congratulations, have a great festival.

[1:25] Yen Tan: The casting creatives of All That We Love on the red carpet. I am Yen Tan. I'm the co-writer and director of All That We Love. This is so exciting because when I see independent filmmaker, I think that's missing in today's world. We need more independent films to get out there.

[1:41] Adrian Garzillo: And how exciting as important is it for this film to be at the Tribeca Film Festival?

[1:45] Yen Tan: Yeah. I mean it's very exciting, you know. I think to have sort of like a launching pad like this with a lot of eyeballs is obviously, you know, means a lot for smaller films like ours, you know. So I'm very excited and grateful.

[2:01] Adrian Garzillo: And how is it working with this amazing cast?

[2:03] Yen Tan: It's been very nice. It's been really lovely. You know, I think they're very like Margaret and Jesse, I mean, are very gifted comedians, and I think they connected on a personal level to the script, so I think they sort of came in, you know, feeling like they can sort of put a lot of themselves in it, you know, and I think it's very exciting for people to sort of see a different side of them in a way.

[2:25] Adrian Garzillo: That's wonderful. Thank you so much. Good luck, and have a great festival.

[2:28] Jesse Tyler Ferguson: Jesse Tyler Ferguson. How are you?

[2:30] Adrian Garzillo: I'm good, how are you?

[2:31] Jesse Tyler Ferguson: I'm journey.

[2:32] Adrian Garzillo: I'm Adrian.

[2:33] Jesse Tyler Ferguson: Adrian, nice meeting you. Thank you. That's my hobby back there. Hi, nice meeting you. We met you when you got your lovely little award. Robert Bannon was the interviewer at the time.

[2:42] Jesse Tyler Ferguson: Oh, yes, yes. He's in Motor City Pride with his fiancé right now.

[2:48] Adrian Garzillo: Incredible. Wow, congratulations to them.

[2:50] Jesse Tyler Ferguson: Yeah. How exciting is this feature film to be here at Tribeca?

[2:54] Jesse Tyler Ferguson: I'm very, very happy about this film. It's a beautiful film that I was thrilled to be a part of. Margaret Cho is starring in it. She's been a long time one of my favorites for a very long time. So the fact that I got to, you know, hang out with her for a few weeks and become her friend is really the gift of the movie itself, yeah.

[3:13] Adrian Garzillo: That's so amazing. That's so awesome. Any summer plans?

[3:17] Jesse Tyler Ferguson: A little bit. We're gonna I'm gonna go to Europe for a little while with my family and come back and enjoy the heat.

[3:25] Adrian Garzillo: I know it's a little toasty. It doesn't need to be this hot in May.

[3:28] Jesse Tyler Ferguson: Yeah, no, no, no, no. It's June though.

[3:31] Adrian Garzillo: That's right, it's June. See, I know. I had too many mimosas this morning. None of this is usable.

[3:37] Adrian Garzillo: What was, besides working with Margaret, what's important about the Tribeca Film Festival for coming here and getting these features and these shorts out to everyone to see?

[3:47] Jesse Tyler Ferguson: Well, I mean, I love that the film industry gets to come to New York for a little while and make it a splash here. I mean, the Tribeca Film Festival was something that started. I'm older than most people think, but it started when I was, you know, living here in New York City. So it was a very exciting, very flashy thing. To come to the city and to be a part of it was, you know, very, very fancy. So I'm just thrilled that I've been able to be a part of it a few times. Makes me feel like, okay, I'm not doing so bad.

[4:16] Adrian Garzillo: Tony Award winner, hello.

[4:18] Jesse Tyler Ferguson: Yes, yes, thank you, thank you. Jesse, thank you so much. Enjoy the film and have a great festival.

[4:23] Adrian Garzillo: Thank you. Hi, Margaret, how are you?

[4:25] Margaret Cho: I'm good, how are you?

[4:26] Adrian Garzillo: I'm good. Look at this adorable. Gia is her name.

[4:30] Margaret Cho: Gia would be a good dog name, like a supermodel.

[4:34] Adrian Garzillo: Yes. I mean, look at this matching. I mean, this is amazing. So Margaret, All That We Love, the star. Tell us a little bit about what we can expect.

[4:44] Margaret Cho: You know, this is a beautiful film. It's about the death of a dog.

[4:50] Adrian Garzillo: Oh shh.

[4:52] Margaret Cho: But how it affects this woman who's really questioning her entire life and, you know, going back and looking over her relationships and it's a really beautiful film, and I'm so proud of it. You know, it's something that I didn't even know I was capable of, you know, this intense kind of drama that's really heartfelt and loving and so yeah, it's a beautiful movie.

[5:18] Adrian Garzillo: I know I'm very excited. When I read the synopsis, I was like, this is such a great film. And we are that's my husband over there. We are proud dog parents. We have a golden doodle who's 90 pounds.

[5:28] Margaret Cho: Wow, yeah. But I have to tell you, I'm such a fan from It's My Party to Face Off. What was it like doing Face Off working with John Travolta and Nicolas Cage?

[5:37] Adrian Garzillo: I know I'm bringing it back, but I know I love that movie.

[5:39] Margaret Cho: You know, the movie took over a year to make.

[5:44] Adrian Garzillo: Wow.

[5:44] Margaret Cho: But it really only happens over about three days. Then the, you know, you watch the film, and the film takes place over a few days.

[5:52] Adrian Garzillo: Yeah.

[5:53] Margaret Cho: So I became friends with John, and he and I would eat Beef Wellington and Boysenberry Pie every day. So I gained so much weight in the film that they had to sew a panel because I wore the same outfit the whole time. They had to sew an elastic panel about this wide in the back. And because it was like a full suit.

[6:19] Adrian Garzillo: Right, right.

[6:20] Margaret Cho: So I remember that the costumes were so mad at me because I gained so much weight. I can't oh well hey, that's good food, you know. Just blow up, but it was really, really an amazing film. You know, they blow they explode a plane for real, um, before CGI. So yeah, and it the fact that it's so iconic and it's lasted so long, people always ask me about it. I love it.

[6:43] Adrian Garzillo: Yes, Margaret, thank you so much. Enjoy this.

[6:45] Alice Lee: Here we are with Alice Lee, and what was it like doing this film for Tribeca Film Festival with this amazing cast?

[6:54] Alice Lee: Um it was incredible. Um I got to work with the best to learn on set, um acting with the legends, and I just think it's such a beautiful film, um, touching on a lot of deep topics like grief and family and all that, and I just think Yen did such a beautiful job, and yeah, I feel really honored and grateful to have been a part of it.

[7:15] Adrian Garzillo: That's so amazing because you originated the role of uh for Heathers, right? It was uh Heather Duke, right? Was that her name?

[7:23] Alice Lee: Yeah, yeah, I did.

[8:25] Adrian Garzillo: I mean, that had to be I mean, filming that with that ama and that was an ensemble cast. I mean, you had some amazing people.

[8:31] Devin: It was. Oh no, it's it was huge. It was crazy. But everyone was so amazing. I almost lived like a family sort of hanging out in a we're put up in a beautiful old casino in the middle of the desert.

[8:42] Adrian Garzillo: It's nice.

[8:43] Devin: Yeah. And now this amazing film, what can you tell us? What was special about making this film?

[8:45] Devin: Um, I mean, I think everyone was like so nice and loved each other, and there was like a family feel kind of immediately from like arriving on set, and I think the film is so much about family and love and grief that I think everyone came with like such a beautiful sensitivity that made for a really nice environment.

[9:05] Adrian Garzillo: That's amazing. I mean, Devin, you've come a long way from Diary of a Wimpy Kid. And you did how many of those together?

[9:10] Devin: Three.

[9:11] Adrian Garzillo: Three? Yeah. To Oppenheimer. Now this amazing. What a repertoire. That's so amazing. What's next for Devin?

[9:35] Adrian Garzillo: Yeah. It's June and it's a little toasty already. Like, where did it where was spring?

[9:39] Devin: I'm fine.

[9:41] Adrian Garzillo: Devin, thank you so much. I really appreciate this, and good luck with the film.

[9:44] Devin: Thank you.

[9:44] Kenneth Choi: Kenneth Choi stops by. Hello, I am so excited to meet you. May I shake your hand? Uh Kenny, I am I am Adrian with the Roundtable.

[9:52] Adrian Garzillo: I am table. Uh the Roundtable from New Jersey.

[9:55] Kenneth Choi: Oh, right on. Yes. So I have to say I'm such a fan. You look fantastic by the way.

[9:59] Adrian Garzillo: Oh stark, you're embarrassing me. Keep going.

[10:02] Kenneth Choi: Uh, my husband, oh, there he is. Take a picture. There's John. We are that's John. Hi, John.

[10:09] Adrian Garzillo: Hey, nice to meet you. We are such fans of 9-1-1.

[10:12] Kenneth Choi: Thanks.

[10:12] Adrian Garzillo: That is one of the things that we can't watch without each other. We have to watch it together. It's such an important show, but this particular film that you're doing, how important is it for this film to be here at Tribeca?

[10:26] Kenneth Choi: There's not a lot of cast where it's predominantly Asian American. You don't have a lot of leads that are female and Asian American. Male Asian Americans are not usually thrust in a leading man role. And we clicked all the boxes, so I can't describe how proud I am of this. I think people are really gonna really gonna love it.

[10:55] Adrian Garzillo: Yeah. I'm so excited to see it. And when I read the synopsis, I'm like, we need films like this. They need to check the boxes. That needs to start happening. It's not just, you know.

[11:04] Kenneth Choi: And uh Mr. Wolf of Wall Street.

[11:06] Adrian Garzillo: Yes. That was such a great town, too.

[11:10] Kenneth Choi: In Chester Mingstown.

[11:11] Adrian Garzillo: Ah, that's right. But that was, I mean, how was that? I mean, Martin, like, how did you did you get the script? Did you like how did that part come to you?

[11:19] Kenneth Choi: Uh yeah, I auditioned in LA, and then they said they wanted to fly actors out to New York to meet with Marty, and then we auditioned for him, and that was just mind-blowing and just so nerve-wracking.

[11:34] Kenneth Choi: Uh, but once I got the call, it was fantastic. I had to gain a bunch of weight, which was so much fun.

[11:42] Robert Bannon: What was your favorite thing to eat?

[11:43] Kenneth Choi: McDonald's.

[11:44] Robert Bannon: Ooh, okay.

[11:46] Kenneth Choi: I ate a lot of McDonald's, a lot of Chinese food, a lot of pasta, a lot of fried chicken. That's so good. A lot of pieces, yeah. It was fantastic. But the experiences shooting in New York, being with Marty, Lou, Leonardo DiCaprio, Margaret, and Jonah, is a dream come true. I mean, that is such every time it's on, we have to watch it. It's just that good of a film.

[12:07] Kenneth Choi: Yeah, it's his, he explained to us, he said, this is a part of a trifecta. He said, Casino, Goodfellas, and this. This is like his trifective comedy.

[12:16] Robert Bannon: Yeah, yeah, it really was fantastic, it truly was.

[12:19] Kenneth Choi: Kenneth, thank you so much.

[12:20] Robert Bannon: My pleasure. Really appreciate it. Thank you. And what an amazing group of actors, and what an amazing director, because it's so important to have these types of films be shown. And what an amazing cast. I can't wait for you all to see it. We had so much fun, and we'll see you at the next one.

[12:41] Robert Bannon: Here we are again, red carpet number two for Disciple, the Stevie Van Zandt documentary. This is very exciting. And I cannot wait to see what is going to happen. So we'll see you soon and get ready for some really great fun.

[13:00] Robert Bannon: A quick second with the legend Stevie Van Zandt. Stevie, can you say hi to the round table?

[13:05] Stevie Van Zandt: Hello, Round Table. We love you. We were there when you were there for David Chase, so we appreciate you, the renegade and the activists. My best to King Arthur and Sir Lancelot.

[13:14] Robert Bannon: Thank you. A quick moment with RB and rock and roll legend, Darlene Love. Firstly, I love you. You are an icon, and I love Whitney.

[13:24] Darlene Love: I love Whitney so much. My goddaughter. First of all, you are stunning. Gorgeous, gorgeous, iconic. And I just want to say we're representing New Jersey here today. My cousin Robert, we're with the round table. He loves you. He's in Detroit City Pride right now.

[13:36] Darlene Love: Wow, you know, this is gonna be great because New Jersey adopted me.

[13:41] Robert Bannon: Yes, yes.

[13:42] Darlene Love: Like their little neural, which is fine with me. We enjoy you. Thank you so much for stopping and join the film.

[13:47] Robert Bannon: Thank you. Ruben Blades.

[13:50] Robert Bannon: I am here with the one and only Ruben. I have been such a fan for so many years. I'm with the round table in Broadway World.

[13:58] Ruben Blades: And white blue bus coming, really.

[14:00] Robert Bannon: Yes, I know. I'm very excited. But you have your career is really phenomenal. Not only singing, activists, Minister of Tourism for Panama, I've been a travel agent for over 25 years. So what does tonight mean to you and to be a part of this amazing documentary?

[14:17] Ruben Blades: First of all, I'm glad that I was a part of the period. You know, I met a lot of great people. I worked with a lot of great people. I knew Stevie when he organized the apartheid Sun City protest, and we actually worked together, he called me and worked in his album, one of his albums, we did a song together. So I've been always very aware of his work and also of his sincerity in his positions. So he told me that I was a part of a video, and I didn't remember that.

[14:52] Ruben Blades: Wow. So he invited me, and I'm glad that I'm here because I'm supposed to be in Mexico, I have a show there, but I'm gonna have it in two days so I could make it.

[15:01] Robert Bannon: Oh, that's wonderful. Thank you so much. Really appreciate it. Soprano star Vincent Pastore.

[15:07] Vincent Pastore: Hey, I steal you.

[15:08] Robert Bannon: Hello, it's such a pleasure. Well, to meet you again, we met many moons ago at Chilla Theater.

[15:13] Vincent Pastore: Oh in Parsippany Hilton, New Jersey. That was a while ago. You look wonderful, by the way. You look fantastic.

[15:20] Vincent Pastore: Picture myself. Fellow New Jersey in here, North Bergen, now Ramsey, that's my husband over there taking pictures. That's my husband. I was in Caldwell last night.

[15:27] Robert Bannon: Wow.

[15:28] Vincent Pastore: Oh, both of them. Yeah, we can meet and greet.

[15:30] Robert Bannon: Oh, how nice. How special is it to be here today for Stevie?

[15:35] Vincent Pastore: Well, you know, it's like I've been on this journey with all of the guys on the show since the pilot. And that was 1999. Isn't that crazy when you think about that? We're still close, we love each other, and we're losing our friends left and right.

[15:55] Robert Bannon: I know.

[15:56] Vincent Pastore: I mean left and right. So you gotta appreciate what you have today. And this is joyous. Oh, it's Tribeca Film Festival. Come on, give me a break here. I mean, look at this carpet. Maybe I'll get a job.

[16:10] Robert Bannon: Okay. Thank you so much.

[16:12] Vincent Pastore: Okay, thank you so much for the first time. I appreciate it.

[16:14] Robert Bannon: Thank you. Former governor of New Jersey, Bill Bradley.

[16:18] Bill Bradley: What does it feel to be here tonight? Is this like election?

[16:21] Robert Bannon: I'm excited. I'm excited. I want to see the film.

[16:24] Bill Bradley: Yes, I know. So you're close with Stevie? How did you get involved with it?

[16:26] Bill Bradley: I met him when I was a senator from New Jersey, and he came down to talk to me about South Africa and other political issues.

[16:35] Robert Bannon: That's wonderful. New Jersey representing. And then I just finished the film, and he was very generous in suggesting music for the film.

[16:45] Robert Bannon: I'm so excited. Thank you for stopping. Have a great day.

[16:49] Robert Bannon: The Treasure Red Carpet starts off with director, co-writer and producer Julia Von Heinz.

[16:49] Robert Bannon: Director, co-writer, and producer of this amazing film. I have seen the commercial like so many times, and I cry when I see this commercial. Oh, it just looks so spectacular. What does it mean for it to be here at the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival?

[17:11] Julia Von Heinz: It's so amazing. It feels like my film is coming home. The film, the story was invented in this city 30 years ago. Lily is hit here in some apartment writing that novel after her own trip to Poland. And this is where the story was born. And now it feels like I bring it to where it belongs. It's a very emotional moment for me.

[17:33] Robert Bannon: It looks so beautifully shot, and was it all done in Europe? Was it done part here? What was the process of getting it together and this amazing cast?

[17:44] Julia Von Heinz: Um, the process of the shooting was we had only eight days in Poland, because Poland now totally doesn't look like Poland in 1991, but funny enough, we found all the places in Germany. So we had 35 shooting days in Germany, and eight days maybe in Poland, maybe a little less in Germany. And that was a beautiful process because I had the great team from many Polish films that I had laughed from IDA from Cold War from Zone of Interest, many people were attached who brought me all their art and creativity and helped me to achieve this.

[18:20] Julia Von Heinz: Um with the cast, yeah, it was a moment when I scrolled through Lena's Instagram sitting in the subway in Berlin when I thought, okay, she's the one. I had always heard all this film, this story might be old-fashioned. Do we need really need to hear it again? Aren't we over it? And I thought Lena will help. If I have her attached, no one will think it's old fashioned. And it's true. It's true. In the moment she was attached, it never came up again.

[18:46] Robert Bannon: Exactly. It's amazing. Julia, thank you so much. It was a pleasure to meet you. Enjoy.

[18:48] Julia Von Heinz: Thank you.

[18:51] Stephen Fry: Even Fry stops by.

[18:58] Stephen Fry: She, we fell in love with each other. She's an amazing person. She plays my daughter in the film, and we got on so well so instantly, and she's an incredible talent, but also our director, Julia von Heinz. But ultimately it was the story, of course. It just the character that I played, whose name is Edek, and he leapt off the page to me in a way that very rarely happens. And it had a personal connection. It reminded me of my grandfather who died when I was very young, but I remember very clearly and had a similar kind of almost comic zest for life and an ability in the most embarrassing way to talk to strangers you know if you got out of the car to walk somewhere you thought where's grandpa gone and then suddenly he's going hi it's a lovely Dominicum of Odyssey and you're going stop it you know if you're English in particular behavior like that and he's that kind of and it is a primarily it seems to be a comedy of relationship of the almost comic relationship between a father and daughter who don't understand each other but of course it's against a background of a history and a of discoveries that are very dark but nonetheless it's about them.

[20:17] Robert Bannon: Thank you so much. What's one thing we could take away from this beautiful movie called Treasure?

[20:17] Stephen Fry: Well, I hope it is that history happens to ordinary people. History may be driven by maniacs and generals and politicians and tyrants, and of course they get all our attention, but you know we are the little bits tossed around on the waves of history and we matter, our families matter, their experience matters, and remembering their experience matters whatever kind it is. And we need to know that now in particular as the world veers towards seven distinct existential crises whether they're technological or political or climatic. There's a good reason to remember that. People who run history are not the people who experience history quite, you know, we should remember the little people.

[21:17] Robert Bannon: Thank you, Steven. Appreciate it. Ryan Jamal Swain of Poe stops on down the round table, red carpet.

[21:24] Robert Bannon: I am here. Are we ready? Oh, okay. Just making sure with the fabulous Ryan Jamal from Poe.

[21:32] Ryan Jamal Swain: Yes, of course. We met.

[21:34] Robert Bannon: Yes, we have.

[21:34] Ryan Jamal Swain: Yes, we have to be here.

[21:38] Robert Bannon: We had a night.

[21:39] Ryan Jamal Swain: Did we?

[21:39] Robert Bannon: Yes, we did. We had fun.

[21:41] Ryan Jamal Swain: But we wouldn't talk about that.

[21:42] Robert Bannon: No, no, no, no, no. But we had a good, good time.

[21:45] Ryan Jamal Swain: Murray for later.

[21:46] Robert Bannon: Yeah, yeah. The tea.

[21:47] Ryan Jamal Swain: We'll save that good tea. How are you, my friend?

[21:49] Ryan Jamal Swain: How are you?

[21:50] Robert Bannon: Good to see you.

[21:51] Ryan Jamal Swain: My husband. I'm married now.

[21:55] Robert Bannon: How are you?

[21:55] Ryan Jamal Swain: I'm good. I'm so happy to be at Tribeca to actually, you know, to support my friend Lena in this new piece, Treasure. I think that's really gonna be a dynamic piece, and especially meeting Lily and the Arthur. Being able to acknowledge that this is a family project, one that means about activating around history and motivating around you. So I'm really, really having a kick-ass time, and I'm so happy to be here.

[22:16] Ryan Jamal Swain: I'm so happy to see you, friends. Thank you.

[22:21] Robert Bannon: Thank you. I know, I'm standing in for Robert. He's got to be.

[22:29] Ryan Jamal Swain: Yes, and happy Pride Month. I mean, the happiest month. I've really been tapping in on that.

[22:33] Robert Bannon: Oh, yes.

[22:34] Ryan Jamal Swain: Like happiest month in June. I really do.

[22:36] Robert Bannon: That's right. It is.

[22:37] Ryan Jamal Swain: We need to share the love and spread all always.

[22:40] Robert Bannon: Always.

[22:41] Ryan Jamal Swain: So good to see you on my family. Thank you so much.

[22:44] Robert Bannon: Yay! Okay, bye. Have a wonderful day, and we'll see you real soon.
