They also discuss finding the film’s tricky structure and tone and what makes them good collaborators.
The Big Picture Kristin Gore and Damian Kulash may be new to directing, but neither is a stranger to the industry. In addition to co-writer The Beanie Bubble with author Zac Bissonnette, Gore has also written for Saturday Night Live, Futurama, and The Oscars. Kulash has directed over 20 music videos for OK Go and has credits on the soundtracks for everything from The Flash to The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
DAMIAN KULASH: The snake. No, actually, I'm sorry — the purple monkey that hits the camera in the crash scene.RELATED: Zach Galifianakis and Elizabeth Banks Begin Building Their Empire in 'The Beanie Bubble' Clip [Exclusive] GORE: [Laughs] But luckily, it was a great opportunity to marry our two skill sets. We say all the time what we made together is so much better than what either one of us could have done individually, and that was really very fun to experience. We have completely different brains but very similar instincts. And so we manage to meet.KULASH: I start from the end and work towards, “How do we get to that?” She starts from the beginning. So we meet in the middle.
Yeah, absolutely. I think that really shines through. There's a quote that Robbie says that I feel really relates to this film, which is that “it's the perfect time to sell a little joy.” And I feel like this movie is so joyful, but it also doesn't shy away from the darker, harder themes.
And we're so lucky we found it in this thing. Neither of us cared about Beanie Babies growing up, and no disrespect to him, but we basically still don't — it's just that it’s like a bubble of color and joy and absurdity. Really, truly crazy little facts about the weirdest things. That the first-ever, consumer-facing website was made by a first-generation — or, I guess, second-generation immigrant child — who is working as an intern and never got paid more than minimum wage.
GORE: Going into different aspect ratios. We didn't want it to take you out of the story — we wanted it to feel a part of it.
