Tig Notaro and Stephanie Allynne's 'One Mississippi' showed me the love I was feeling - Were they surprised by anything in it?

Comedian Tig Notaro cannot shut up about how in love she is. And while the film is focused on Notaro, Allynne stands out as the most fascinating character: hilarious and compassionate, self-assured and strong. I spoke with the couple about what it's like to fall in love on camera. Tig, you talk a lot about being in love and never really doubting your feelings and just it being the best thing in the world basically. Stephanie, how did the relationship develop for you? Had you dated women before? Tig: That is none of your business! Tig: Earlier today, actually. Tig: Stephanie said there was a point when, did I touch your shoulder? I had never really experienced that feeling before. Tig: I like that electricity through your body actually sounds kind of terrible. Stephanie: It was both of those things. And I think that's, for me personally, what it took to understand my sexuality. Some people, for whatever reason, get there sooner. I think now, even just on television, there's so many shows where you see gay people in life. When I was in high school in the early 2000s that was no where to be seen. And I feel like if I had any reference point, or somebody that I could relate to, personally I think I would've recognized it earlier. Tig: Stephanie's got a thing for someone. I think if I had that show in high school, I would've known I was gay. Tig: But yeah, I think that, as far as those labels go, if people have even one relationship that veers off the track that they thought they were on or they should be on, it's not illegitimate, and you're not veering off. All those feelings are real if you like somebody or fall in love. You just have to be open to whatever is coming your way. Stephanie: For me, it was very difficult in a lot of ways, but then once you follow your heart, it's all of a sudden so easy. Tig, was it hard for you knowing Stephanie identified as straight when you started falling for her? Tig: I get kind of, um, bored by all the sexuality and gender labels because I feel like that's where the problem comes in, when people feel that they need to have these particular identities. If you didn't have these labels and you just acted on how you genuinely felt at any point, then you wouldn't have anything to contend with. I've had my own road of figuring out what I like and who I like, and along that road, I've dated people that have had very gray areas to their identities. I just think it's no big deal. Stephanie: And that's really what's so comforting about it. You realize it's not a big deal. I look back at myself at that time and I just think, God, I wish that I knew that it wasn't a big deal, ever. Did it help that people around you also didn't really treat it as a huge deal? But I think about this all the time: For people in other cities or places where their families aren't, and then they have to make that decision, it's so easy to say no. It's such a fragile moment. And then for yourself, you're tortured. That's how I felt. Did that feel weird at the time? To have cameras filming this flirtation and brand-new relationship? Stephanie: Oh, yeah, for sure. When we first started dating, I didn't wanna be on camera at all. Then after a while, once it became pretty clear we were together, I started to be on camera. It's been crazy to watch it and see that all. It feels like I'm watching memories that I don't even have. Did you ask the documentary crew to not include certain things or leave something in? And we were never anywhere near breaking up, and I think it just didn't really dawn on us because once we were together, we were together. Your relationship started on such tough grounds. We see Tig go through a life-threatening infection and the death of her mom and cancer, and then you guys started dating. Did that feel like a challenge at the time? Stephanie: Yeah, I mean it's interesting because when we were shooting In a World, that was right before all of that happened, and that's when we met. Then we ran into each other at Sundance a year later, and that's when we started dating. And so for that whole year, I didn't witness any of it, and then when I saw her again, she had already had her surgery, and she seemed the exact same. Tig: Yeah, I think for me, it wasn't bizarre. If anything, it just felt like the first real, grounding relationship that I'd ever had. What do you think you found so grounding about the relationship or Stephanie in particular? Tig: Well, I mean, there's so many things. One of the things that really sticks out to me is, I've dated a lot of funny people, but even funny people can be sensitive and take things wrong. I just noticed as time was moving along that we tease each other, joke around, and it never is hurtful and nobody has hurt feelings. I know that sounds insane, but it's very true. Stephanie: We both sort of have perspective on what's important and what's not. In moments where there is any kind of health issue, you realize that other stuff is meaningless and I think on a day to day basis, we both talk about how we wake up every morning just thrilled, that there's no sort of dread for the day, it's kind of just excitement. Problems seem like nothing because we don't focus on that stuff. What are the things that you feel like really matter? Tig: Health and family, friends. I know this all seems cliché and obvious but also working on the house together. We never go out to eat, every meal is cooked in our house. Well, you guys also started dating right around the time that, Tig, you got really busy with work. How has that affected your relationship? Tig: I think that's how we've dealt with that, is doing more things at the house. When I'm not touring, I really don't leave the house. It really feels like we're together a lot and even doing interviews or being busy, I'm normally sitting right next to her. Tig: Well, we kind of had a gray area where we were hanging out, and you know, a kiss might happen and a handhold might happen and a conversation and then a dinner, and I think we did that for about six months. Now we've been together a couple of years. So at this point it's been like 2. How did your families react when you got engaged? Tig: They were all thrilled! Tig: Our families just met up together in Mississippi: Stephanie's side of the family and my extended side of the family, and we just spent a lot of fun time all hanging out and getting to know each other and wedding planning and all that stuff. It was really nice. Were you waiting until the Supreme Court ruled before you get married or is this just coincidence that you have great timing? Tig: We sent out our save-the-dates and then the very next day, the ruling came through. And you screened the documentary for your family and friends. Were they surprised by anything in it? Stephanie: Yeah, I think a lot of the surrogate stuff. We didn't really talk to a lot of people about that at the time. Tig: Yeah, I think that's the part that kind of really shocked and destroys people close to us because they didn't really know we were going through that. Did you have any doubts about putting that in the documentary? We were so positive. It was hard when there wasn't and... Stephanie: That moment when we get the phone call from the doctor that the pregnancy didn't take, we were both really expecting good news, and the reality of getting bad news, and the cameras being there, and being in a room with other people, I felt blindsided by that moment. That was definitely the moment where I was most aware of the cameras and not knowing how to go through that with all the right feelings because we were being filmed. Tig: Yeah, it was really tricky to navigate that because I felt utterly, utterly stunned and gutted and I ultimately would've wanted to be alone, or just with Stephanie. Where are you guys with your hope to have a family together now? Tig: We have some top-secret stuff in the works and when a human appears, it appears. So yeah, we're hoping to have a magical family soon. Tig starts streaming on Netflix on Friday, July 17, and Notaro's new stand-up special, Boyish Girl Interrupted , airs on HBO on Saturday, August 22.
