How many times have we wished we could replay a moment in our life to do over? Would it be for ourselves, or the benefit of someone else? What if it was as easy as pressing Play? In Greg Björkman‘s new film – his directorial debut – we get to find out how that might work. The film is propelled by some wonderful, impressive and effective acting from Clara Rugaard (I Am Mother) and Lewis Pullman (Top Gun: Maverick) and their chemistry really sells the story.
We sat with Greg to talk about mix tapes, taking chances as a director, and trusting actors to deliver what they think is right for the role. We also got to talk a bit about time travel, Danny Glover, and other fun topics. But nothing was quite as fun as the film itself, so check out Press Play as soon as you can.
For now, enjoy our spoiler-free discussion with Greg!!
Laura (Clara Rugaard) and Harrison (Lewis Pullman) have the picture-perfect romance built on the foundation of a shared love of music. After a deadly accident, Laura is given the chance to save the love of her life when she discovers that their mixtape can transport her back in time. Featuring a moving soundtrack with songs by Japanese Breakfast, Father John Misty, Dayglow and more, Press Play reminds you that love can always be replayed.
Distributed by The Avenue, Press Play was released in theaters and on digital & on demand on June 24, 2022.
