An extraordinary SMASHING MACHINE conversation with my long time friend, and artist whom I’ve been inspired by over the years - Academy Award winner Charlize Theron charlizeafrica. Charlize and I have both transformed in our films ~ under the masterful eye and brilliance of the Academy Award winning Kazu Hiro kazustudios. To inhabit and live in someone else’s skin over the course of months of filming, has a wild way of forcing you to discover things about the person you’re playing, and ultimately discover things about yourself. THANK YOU to these two absolutely extraordinary and inspiring artists - Charlize & Kazu, for your incredible perspectives on our film and our performances 🙏🏾🤎🥂 #thesmashingmachine #ampas theacademy
