What BBN said about it

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNow, news in your world. Deadline reports the Producers Guild of Korea and the Sakha Filmmakers Association signed a deal for co-productions.
Octavian Rilke-MbekiYes. Yakutia. Wonderful people. When I was out there, the cold was so cold. And the minibar was full.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA minibar? In Yakutia?
Octavian Rilke-MbekiArtisanal. Tiny cheeses. Very remote cheeses.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorDeadline says it creates a direct route for exchange between the two screen industries. What does that mean for you?
Octavian Rilke-MbekiEverything. I am the bridge. A fur hat, a gift from the Sakha people, sits on my head right now.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIt says Grand Pacific Hotel Laundry on the brim.
Octavian Rilke-MbekiThat is their word for friendship.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo what are you working on next?

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOctavian. Be honest. This is a safe space.
Octavian Rilke-MbekiI learned about the deal from your intro. I have never left the hotel. The cheeses are from room service.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorLightning round. Favorite country that is not Vancouver?
Octavian Rilke-MbekiWhichever one has a spa.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorPlug your film.
