Hi, Im Chlo Zhao. I am the writer, director, editor, and one of the producers of Nomadland. Hi, may I help you? This scene was shot in the Badlands National Park where Fern is doing a summer camp hosting job. This is a situation where we mix professional and non-professional actors. There are two actors in the scene. There is Fern played by Frances McDormand. Then theres Dave played by David Strathairn This is going to be really exciting. Some of the people that are playing the tourists, theyre actually tourists at the National Park. The one thing I think is interesting to talk about in this scene is everything is scripted and staged. But through casting, cinematography and the editing, our goal is to make you feel as if this is really happening. As if she just showed up and improvised everything. The time of day is very important in shooting a scene like this in the Badlands. The texture of the rocks in the Badlands looks very different, the colors throughout the day. So its that last 25 minutes when the sun already go behind the rocks. It was of the most intense magic hour hustles in the film. Fran has such an interesting body language that I love, that we wanted to bring into Fern. She reminds me of Buster Keaton or Chaplin. You just love seeing how she walks and runs and interacts with the space. And I think that it brings a little bit of humor to it. Frances is the one that came up with those white sneakers that she was wearing. Find anything interesting? Rocks! And then shes got these little pink socks, almost like a child getting lost. Its the first time that shes really embracing being a traveler. And enjoying the exploration. So in this scene shes exploring, but shes also lost at the same time.

Grey's Anatomy star Kevin McKidd has responded to rumours about the show's future.

Recent years have seen heavy speculation that the popular medical drama may be coming to an end if leading star Ellen Pompeo decides to leave her role as Dr Meredith Grey. It is currently on its 17th season.

McKidd, who has played Dr Owen Hunt since 2008, was asked by Digital Spy over his thoughts on the rumours and whether he feels the show still has plenty of life left in it.

"My gut tells me that this isn't our last season," he said.

"I don't know why, I don't know what it's based on. I hope it isn't, because at this point, I'm a first-generation immigrant to America. So this has become my second family all these people in this crew and in this cast. So I'd just miss everybody if it was over.

"And I still feel as though we have relevant stories to tell. I feel as though we went through kind of a lull and a dip a few years ago. I think we're kind of on this incredible upswing. It's a testament to Krista Vernoff and all the writers.

"I feel as though we have stories to tell, so that's where I'm at with it. I don't really listen to the speculation, because all of it is beyond my control anyway. But I hope [it isn't the last season]. I'm definitely game to keep going."

Last October, Pompeo whose current contract runs out at the end of the season offered an update saying that nothing has been decided yet.

"I don't take the decision lightly," she said. "We employ a lot of people, and we have a huge platform. And I'm very grateful for it."

Grey's Anatomy seasons 1-15 will be available to stream on Disney+ via Star on Tuesday, February 23.

Grey's Anatomy star responds to rumours on show's future - digitalspy.com

With Valentines Day just behind us and likely some smooching especially in the cold weather, it seems timely to explore the subject of kissing.

My wifes first earth-shaking kiss with me on an early date sent me into orbit and a long and happy marriage. She recently saw an article mentioning the 10-second kiss. It was a moment of renewal. Like many couples, our kisses often had become a little peck on the way in or out the door, cheek kisses, top of the head smooches, brushing of the lips all kind of a perfunctory way of saying, I love you.

Changing that out to a 10-second kiss cost nothing but helped re-awaken the power of a kiss to connect and bond. It seemed like the just the right amount of time. While longer kisses also are wonderful, you never can tell what kind of hanky-panky they may lead to.

So, I suggest to you and your beloved if youre fortunate to have one nearby, practice some 10-second kissing and see how it changes your day-to-day interactions. Fun, free and frolicky. A 10-second hug can do the same, though COVID has caused the loss of many hug opportunities.

Let us review the anatomy of a kiss. Have you ever seen a homunculus? Every first-year medical student is introduced to this cartoon monstrosity while learning neuroanatomy. The homunculus is a topographic representation of the body of the sensory or motor cortex of the brain. The parts with the largest number of neurons are huge, while other less innervated areas are proportionately smaller. Browse the term homunculus at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:1421_Sensory_Homunculus.jpg

In the homunculus, the lips, tongue and hands are particularly gigantic, reflecting their essential role in our lives. Models of the homunculus show lips like those aboriginal folks who utilize some kind of disc to stretch their lips bigger.

So, why are lips featured so prominently on the cortex of the brain, as well as capturing our attention continuously on magazine covers, artwork and advertisements? Soft, sensuous, moist lips in a variety of shapes and shades seem to capture the human imagination and emotions in a way no other body part does, except perhaps the eyes.

And why do we do that kissing thing anyway? Is it because our nerves wire us that way? With all those nerves, pressing of lips releases a lot of feel-good chemicals like oxytocin, dopamine and serotonin. Its better and safer than a drug.

Evolutionary psychologists note the amount of information exchanged in a kiss can be extremely helpful in assessing a future mate. Temperature, smell, taste and even information about immunity and fertility can be detected subconsciously. We also exchange microbiota and hormones.

Besides those benefits, studies about kissing show it helps us bond with each other, improves our facial tone, reduces stress, blood pressure, cramps, cavities, cholesterol, allergies and headaches while boosting our immunity and self-esteem. It even burns calories.

So go ahead, pucker up and take that 10-second plunge. It may just change your life.

Characters like Owen could be deemed as intelligent for obtaining a medical degree but that doesn't make them exempt from failing to use common sense.

All of the characters on Grey's Anatomy could be deemed as extremely intelligent for obtaining a medical degree alone, but that doesn't make them exempt from failing to use common sense in everyday situations and having more workplace romances than most real-life hospitals.

HR at Grey-Sloan is most likely a logistical nightmare, and the decisions made by these characters throughout 17 seasons have surely added to hospitals reevaluating their own regulations and policies. Thankfully, no episode of Grey's Anatomy is complete without some sort of resolution or lesson, so that even when characters make choices leaving fans shaking their heads, they at least are able to learn and grow from them.

Aside from being a precocious child who skipped a grade, Lexie Grey often lived inthe shadow of her big half-sister, Meredith. In reality, Lexie was one of the smartest residents Seattle Grace had ever seen. She was on track to become a neurosurgery attending under the apprenticeship of her brother-in-law, Derek Shepard before her untimely demise.

Despite being the Chief of Surgery at Seattle Grace turned Grey-Sloan Memorial for many years,Richard Webber never quite got it rightwhen it came to his personal life.His marriage with Adele suffered for years because of his longstanding affair with Ellis Grey, and his nepotism shone through when he began mentoring Meredith in Season 6 in an attempt to get her to keep quiet about his resurfacing alcoholism.

As the head of surgery, one would think he would be smarter than to make a lot of the decisions he did over the course of the show.

Originally introduced as an all-mighty villain standing in the way of Derek and Meredith, Addison Montgomery proved herself to be much more than just the attending neurosurgeon's estranged wife. Addison never settled for less than she deserved with Mark, she had her patients best interests in mind as an OB/GYN, and even got her own spinoff, Private Practice.

When Owen Hunt was introduced as a love interest for Cristina Yang in Season 5 of Grey's Anatomy, it was easy for fans to view him as a stark contrast to Cristina's ex-fianc, Preston Burke.

However, Owen was no stranger to mistakes, and he sure did make a lot of them. He always seemed to want what he couldn't have, and continuously tried to change all of the women he was involved with. He lost Cristina because she wouldn't have his baby, and after years of will-they-won't-they with Teddy, he ended up losing her too.

Teddy loses points for exposing herself cheating on Owen over voicemail, sure, but viewers have to give credit where credit is due to Doctor Altman. In season 7, she married a patient so he could have proper health insurance, and ended up having one of the healthiest relationships on the show because of it.

Henry's death was devastating, but his storyline proved that Teddy was a lot more than Owen's maybe-lover, and her marrying him both extended and improved his life.

Yes, Derek Shepherd was an award winning neurosurgeon, but a lot of his choices throughout the series made fans think twice about his intelligence. First, he had an affair with an intern, and when his wife came back around he shattered the heart of the love of his life by trying to fix a broken marriage.

Additionally, Derek continuously acted in his own self-interest, like when he took full credit for the Alzheimer's trial he created alongside Meredith and the whole almost-affair in D.C.

Alex Karev started the show has an arrogant intern who thought he was better than everyone else. Because of his attitude, his fellow interns despised him and actually thought less of him. His growth throughout the series allowed fans to find him incredibly lovable and a genuinely talented surgeon.

His knowledge of pediatrics showed just how intelligent of a doctor he was, and he emotionally matured by making smarter romantic decisions, such as his relationship with Jo (just ignore Season 16, Episode 16!).

Izzie Stevens was labeled 'Doctor Model' during her intern years and often tried to prove herself because of it. However, Izzie could never separate her emotions from logic, such as when she cut Denny's L-VAD wire in Season 2, and then left the hospital after he passed away.

For being a doctor, it sure took Izzie a long time to realize she was dying of cancer, and communication never seemed to be her strong suit, especially in relationships, because she ran off the second things got hard in her and Alex's marriage.

April Kepner started as the mousy brunette from Mercy West who had a childlike crush on Derek, but turned into the redheaded trauma surgeon viewers didn't know they needed.

April's smartest moments included her speech to Gary Clark during the hospital shooting, where she told him her life story so he'd view her as a human and spare her life, which he did, and leaving her first wedding to Matthew to be with her true love Jackson (even if that didn't entirely work out in the end).

There's no doubt that Meredith Grey is a great surgeon. She is the daughter of Ellis Grey, after all. A lot of Meredith's acting out is a result of her paternity, like having an affair with an attending as an intern, putting her hand on a bomb in a patient's chest cavity, nearly drowning, putting herself between her husband and a gunman, etc.

Meredith Grey is brave, but that doesn't make her decisions all that smart.

Grey's Anatomy star Chandra Wilson has revealed that she can struggle to sometimes switch off after filming "really emotional" scenes.

The actress has played the role of Miranda Bailey in the hit series since its debut in 2005, taking on some pretty hard-hitting storylines in the process.

One recent and particularly heartbreaking one saw the character learn that she had suffered a miscarriage at work, and the actress has opened up to the Radio Times about the aftermath of filming such moments.

"One thing I have discovered as an actor, especially with really emotional things that we have to do on the show, is that your body doesn't know the difference your body doesn't know that you are acting, so it does sometimes take a minute to calm your body down and tell it, 'no, we were just pretending'," she said.

Last year, meanwhile, Wilson addressed her future as Bailey on the show, saying she wanted to play the character "until the wheels come off".

"I always say until the wheels come off, I'll be there," she said. "I think there have been so many versions of when the show would end and how the show will end that there isn't a version at this point. I keep showing up when they call me and tell me that we're doing another one!"

The star added: "I would love to see the end of her I would love to see the completion of that arc, not only as a character, but with the show, but everything is dictated by story, as always but what a great story to be able to tell that I was a starter and a finisher, that's a very cool story."

Grey's Anatomy season 17 airs on ABC in the US. It airs on Sky Witness in the UK with selected episodes also available on NOW TV.
