To Olive, Ukrainian immigrant/single mother, classic films like Bonnie & Clyde and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid aren’t just entertainment, they’re her ticket to the American Dream. So influenced by these larger than life characters Olive sets out to live the way she believes things are normally lived in America. In Bringing Up Bobby, she finds out the hard way that she’s not the only one paying for her delusions. Likened to anti-heroes like Thelma & Louise, with her son in the passenger seat, she quickly learns that she too is fast approaching a dead end. Go,See,Talk sat with writer/director Famke Janssen to talk about her first feature film. For those not familiar with it, check out the trailer below and read some…

Video Roundtable Interview Discussion With ‘Casa de mi Padre’ Star Will Ferrell
Note: This roundtable interview is presented in both written and video formats. Read what Will had to say about ‘Casa de mi Padre’ or scroll to the bottom to see the video of our session with him (you can also see the video here). Thanks to our contributing writer Bill Graham for transcribing the whole discussion. Will Ferrell stars inCasa de mi Padre, the hysterically self-aware Spanish language film. Akin to Austin Powers and other self-aware comedies, Casa de mi Padre is an exercise in bad filmmaking as it delightfully parodies Mexican cinema and some of the bad spaghetti westerns from the late 70s and early 80s. As part of a Dallas area PA tour Will…

Interview…’Silent House’ Directors Chris Kentis and Laura Lau
In conjunction with the release of Open Road’s one-take horror exercise, Silent House, I was presented with the opportunity to interview Chris Kentis and Laura Lau, the writer-director team behind the film, who many will remember as the duo behind 2003’s Open Water.

Luckily for me, Mr. Kentis and Ms. Lau made for one great, insightful, informative interview, providing a ton of detail about the process of making Silent House and working with star…

Roundtable Interview Discussion with ‘Shame’ Director Steve McQueen & Actor Michael Fassbender
On November 17th, writer/director Steve McQueen and actor Michael Fassbender stopped in Dallas as part of a whirlwind PA tour to promote their new movie Shame. McQueen and Fassbender held this very private round table discussion to talk about their brilliant and controversial film. Having worked together on the powerful fact-based film Hunger the two have undeniable chemistry and are talented entertainers of the highest merit. After being simply floored by Shame at the screening a few weeks before Thanksgiving I could not stop thinking about the film and as such had a boat load of questions for the them. Go,See,Talk and some select local media outlets sat in on (and directly across from I…
