Reading of the feature
Last night I got a group of extremely talented actors to meet at Theatre 68 in North Hollywood to read the script out loud for the first time. It was an incredible experience. I also had each actor write down what they thought the film was about which was really helpful. There were four categories of what people thought it was about:
A veteran stage actor, rehabilitating in the twilight of his career, struggles to find accountability for his past transgressions, and relevancy in an industry that only sees him as a problematic relic.
Karma
#MeToo, sexual politics, and the problems with cancel culture.
Nature vs. Nurture, can we change our nature?
I have a lot to think about as we move forward.
