i kind of consider ryan and michelle to be co-writers on this film with me.scenes, they would have dialogues, they would talk about the emotions and everything. so by the time we started shooting the first scene of the movie where they're together i had never seen them together. and the first thing we shot is a scene ereyan comes over to michelle houseith flowers and his face is beat up and i just kind of put the camera in the back of the room and just watched what would happen and it was just... there was this tangible connection between ryan and michelle on the screen. and it... they had been doing character work for years and suddenly they were on screen showing it to each other so i felt like i was making a documentary of two people getting to know each other on screen, two people falling in love on screen. it felt that real and i used all my training in documentary film to try to just support that. anthen we had to shoot a... the second part of the movie where they're... they've been married for six years and there has to be some sort of shared experienc

michelle, good to have you on the program. >> great to be here. >> michelle, certainly a provocative title, "you know i'm right." what do you mean by it and what is your take on the extension of the tax cut? >> well, the subtitle is "more prosperity, less government." so i firmly believe that when you look at modern president, ronald reagan had it right when he said whenever government expands, liberty contracts. and so i think the tax cut extension is great because remember, every time the u.s. government spends a dollar, they have to take it from someone else. and so this is a focus on keeping the size of government smaller and lives of people. and the government has to really focus on the other side of the ledger, the spending side. they keep focusing on the ledger revenue side. >> we haven't seen the spending side really come into focus yet. ben, what are you thoughts? is this a political and economic compromise for the president? >> i think the president basically played the political hand that he was dealt here. he clearly did not have the votes for what he wanted which was obv

it was a thrill of a lifetime to hear him sing "michelle" to michelle. although apparently paul joked afterwards he was worried he might become the first guy ever to get punched by the president. i will say he was a little emotive. i can't afford another one. you have nothing to worry about. i just recovered from my last tussle on the basketball court. so tonight i'm pleased once again to honor a man widely considered to be one of the greatest song writers in history. paul first picked up a guitar at age 14 and soon it never left his side. homework went undone, my understanding is, comics went unread. he would play it in the bathroom. it wasn't long before he gravitated towards other young musicians who shared his passion, including a young man named john lennon. but when paul and his bandmates played their first set in a hole in the wall jazz club in england, expectations were still low. they thought they would be pretty big in liverpool. that band went on to change the way the world thought about music. their songs were the soundtrack for an era of imm

michelle says, "no problem. i'm in my studio all evening so take your time. michelle".m really interested in printmaking, so i said, "well, i'll be an art major." being around colors and materials that have the potential to be turned into something really valuable, spiritually or just culturally, that's what i like doing. hi.

(michelle) i had done this type of letterpress printing, and like, trying out the machines, when i was in school. and i was originally in illustration, and then the department wasn't going where i wanted it to so i switched to printmaking, which is when i really got into it. as soon as i graduated i had no idea what i was doing. i had toyed with moving away and going to grad school, but i wasn't sure. so, i had interned at a letterpress shop my senior year. after working for several years, and really getting exposed to the process and really learning all the little nitty gritty stuff, i moved in here and, you know, we had all this space. so i decided at that point that i wanted to have a shop. and that was after, like, many coffee sh
