Hello and thanks for doing the AMA!

Growing up, how did working on the film interact with your social life? Were you open to your friends about working on this film? Would you just occasionally be busy for a few weeks, telling them, “sorry, just working with an Oscar-nominated director”? Did they even know who Richard Linklater was?

For Julie,

What was it like working with Krzysztof Kieslowski, if that's not too broad? I thought you were fabulous in White, and have always been fascinated by Kieslowski's methods.

What are your thoughts about the prevalence of this "epic" trailer music style of film scoring that seems so popular today? It seems to stem of Hans Zimmer, though his work is generally more interesting than those cliches, but not always. I think I read he contributed to the synthesizers for Tron: Legacy. I detected elements of said style in Tron: Legacy, though in more interesting incarnations than usual. Do you avoid this style? Embrace it? Try to make it your own? Is this something you'd even have control over?
