Q: So how did you keep the scripted part feeling as real
as the documentary part?
Jake Johnson: We improvised everything. We only had a
five-page outline, so a lot of times the camera people didn't
even know where we were going with it. So the idea was if
it's fully improvised and it's new to us and it's new to the
camera guys, it'll have that same documentary feeling to it.
Q: What was your favorite part of filming? The docu-
mentary stuff, the actual scripted stuff or was it the pup-
petry?
Yi: I think the documentary stuff. I found the people the
most interesting, and also I think, as far as the fictional
stuff, I think my favorite stuff was the dramatic stuff like
the break-up scene when he comes in. That was really fun.
And the bridge scene. I think I was singing "2 Legit [2
Quit]" by MC Hammer right before that. I was real psyched
to do something sort of serious.
Johnson: I think my favorite part was the adventure of it
all.
Q: What was so adventurous about it?
Johnson: We really left from L.A., driving to New York in
an 11-seater van with 10 people and some equipment, and
we really didn't know what the movie was gonna be. We
had a loose idea. We were allowed to improvise and take
anything we wanted and go in any direction we wanted. We
would wake up in the mornings and talk up the scenes and
try and figure out what we were doing, and so it felt like
a road trip, while during that road trip, we were making a
movie.
Yi: Because we really were, like, struggling, making the
movie. We traveled for 10 hours and improvised something
or talked to complete strangers.
