The Soho House in West Hollywood is the location. The stars of the new independent film The Lifeguard are set up in one of the overly air-conditioned rooms, hot tea in hand and blanket in lap. We introduce ourselves and begin. Kristen Bell and Mamie Gummer are the beautiful leads in Liz W. Garcia’s feature film directorial debut The Lifeguard (review up now). We talk about working with Liz, getting into character, and the experiences of losing their childhood rooms to change or in Mamie’s case, it being kept as a time capsule.
