Samantha Morton is an incredible actress, a living sponge in touch with the depth and essence of all things. Her multi-layered personality created a rainbow of emotions and expressions. Jason Patric was given a difficult character to portray–a challenging personality who shows flashes of compassion and generosity. Jay means well, but lacks the capabilities to be a truly loving partner. Claire sees a great human being under all the trouble and hopes her love can help bring about a change–Director Cecilia Miniucchi.
Tracey Fragments with Director Bruce McDonald
My friend John L‚ÄôEcuyer turned me onto a novel called 'The Tracey Fragments.' I loved it, loved Tracey‚Äôs voice, loved the writing, it reminded me of a modern day 'Catcher in the Rye.' So I tracked down Maureen, who lived in Vancouver, we had a great chat on the phone and I optioned the book by sending her my cowboy boots in the mail. The deal was sealed. Maureen was hired to write the screenplay. Her first. The first draft was pretty much what we ended up shooting in the spring of 2006–Bruce McDonald
Walk into the Sea with Director Robinson
Every family history has its missing. People whose lives diverge from the accepted narrative are often excised, but their presence hovers. Photo albums, memories, grief remain. My grandmother never spoke about my uncle Danny Williams but she kept a separate shelf of books about the Warhol factory. If I cracked her copy of The Andy Warhol Diaries, or Edie: an American Girl, it would fall open to a small picture of Danny, or the odd underlined sentence that included his name–Director Esther Robinson
Unsettled: Controversial Israeli Docu by Adam Hootnick
“Unsettled” is not a political story. It's a story of young people in conflict, told in their words, seen through their eyes, and heard to the beat of their music. And it's not just an Israeli story–it's a story about trying to find peace by combating extremism at home–perhaps the only strategy that will ever break endless waves of attack and reprisal–Director
Then She Found Me Finds Helen Hunt
I‚Äôd been wanting to direct for a long time. I knew that it would take a story I felt very personally connected to. Some people just want to direct, but to me, who would want the job unless they really cared about the story Over the long process of re-writing this movie, I became more and more married to it, and created characters who were me all over the place–Helen Hunt
