when your sister brought you the idea for a script called "My Idiot Brother", what was your first reaction?
Jesse Peretz: I wish that I could answer that question honestly, but it wasn't like she brought me the idea. If you want the true sorta genesis of it, we started by writing this other script called "What's This Sh*t Called Love?", which was a more of a kinda autobiographical script, and it was the first thing we'd ever done together. As you may or may not know, Evgenia's been a writer for "Vanity Fair" for 14, 15 years. I can't even remember what it was that made us start working together, but we had such a good time working on that script, which unfortunately created little obstacles to getting it set up and financed, one of many of the obstacles being that the protagonists were 18 years old. So we started this project by thinking about the actors that we would like to work with, and then kind of trying to figure out what kind of story we wanted to tell.
