Higher Ground: Vera Farmiga on her Directorial Debut

Becoming a mother has changed me as an artist and storyteller. Now that I am asked so many questions by my children, I have never been more sure of not knowing the answers. I read Carolyn S. Briggs’ memoir, This Dark World, and was touched by her testimony, its candor, humor, and honesty about the very topic of “not knowing.” Her journey of self-discovery resonated with me on every level as a daughter, a sister, a wife, a friend, and a mother.

Tabloid: Interview with Errol Morris

TABLOID is a return to my favorite genre—sick, sad and funny. It is a meditation on how we are shaped by the media and even more powerfully, by ourselves–by the narratives we construct in our minds that may or may not have anything to do with reality–Errol Morris

Larry Crowne: Tom Hanks Personal Film

“This was in the mid-1970s, and there was a sensibility of flux. In my class, there was somebody who was middle-aged, somebody in his fifties, somebody who was just back from Vietnam. I became friends with almost everybody in class, and I found this rich life experience amongst them”–Tom Hanks 

Hangover II: Interview with Todd Phillips

“I know my movies primarily attract a certain audience because of the outrageousness of the comedy, but ‘The Hangover’ connected across the board. I think that’s largely because of the love between the four guys. Their friendship feels authentic; it’s just this magic combination”–Director Todd Phillips
