.Shoshannah7 and ItsJoshFeldman are ready for round two of their groundbreaking SundanceTV series, ThisClose.
We often say that Kate and Michael's friendship is inspired by our real-life friendship, but it really does take on a life of its own. Our friendship in real life is different from the relationship that we have built for Kate and Michael. One big difference is that we became friends after I was already married, so I do wonder what would've happened if we had met when we were both single. I think we might have been more similar to Kate and Michael. : For sure.
Heading into season two, what did you learn from the first season that helped prepare you for these new episodes?: One thing that was really helpful with the writing was realizing we've done this before. I remember the first time we were writing, we were like,"What are we doing? Are we crazy?" And now we've done this before. We have one season under our belt. We got through this before, we can get through it again. Having that knowledge, that experience.
What can you say in terms of where season two picks up again? We're in a hospital, so I imagine pretty soon after the finale...Season two picks up right off the bat where we left off. Moments after the finale of season one, literal moments. Seconds.: We definitely do play with time quite a bit throughout the second season, so the narrative is not always going to be linear. We love the idea of picking up where we left off.
How can Hollywood move the conversation forward and put it into action in a more direct way of being more inclusive of various communities?I really want to see the spectrum within specific communities. Representation, for example, is a buzz word. Diversity, another buzz word that we see. But there's a whole spectrum within that. Representation is important in front of the screen, but also important behind the screen.
This is the first show that has been written and created by deaf people and we're really highly honored that it's us. But it's 2019, you know? There are people who have other experiences; they can tell their own stories, too. Any community should be able to tell their own stories. I don't think people should feel like they can't tell other people's stories, but just work in collaboration with that person or with that community, and have it become a partnership.
