Being an actor since she was a child, Jena Malone has been on her fair share of film sets. And what she’s learned is that working with first-time filmmakers is what she enjoys the most.
“I think, throughout my career, my number one favorite activity is working with first-time filmmakers that have a very unique vision,” Malone explained. “And [who] support innovation and clumsy emotion, and have just a unique perspective on humanity, you know?”
As his first feature film, Begert admitted at TheWrap’s Sundance Portrait and Interview Studio presented by NFP that it started “just as a bit of a writing experiment,” and evolved from there into a short film and, eventually, into this feature.
