The actor opens up about the genre-blending experience.
Having previously delivered the independent productions Thunder Road, The Wolf of Snow Hollow, and The Beta Test, filmmaker and actor Jim Cummings knows a thing or two about bringing to life a compelling story on a limited budget, both in front of and behind the camera.
Jim Cummings: He sent me the script, and I guess his buddy Scott from middle school, his best friend, heard me on a podcast saying that nobody asked me to act in anything. They've probably seen my movies, they have good reason why they don't ask me to act. But Scott reached out to Francis and said,"You should ask him, he'd be very good. I think he'd be very good for this part." So thank you, Scott Holmes.
Oh, no, no. When Francis and I were talking, we talk about filmmaking as a whole, a feature film being an equation. It's not just this amalgamation of scenes in a boxcar that gets chopped up. You're on this roller coaster and you have to weave the audience's attention throughout. Yeah, Francis is much better at ensemble work than anybody I've ever met, certainly me. When I make a movie, it's like ... Almost all three of my films, the main character's in every scene, and that's not the case with this. In an ensemble, you're pairing off different people, you're seeing how the equation works with these conversations. There's different locations that then add to the story.
