REUTERS/Mark BlinchTORONTO, Sept 10 - Canadian actor Elliot Page hopes that his role in the new film "Close to You" moves people and cracks open the hearts and minds of viewers as it did for him.
The film, which in part parallels Page's life, is co-written by Page and Dominic Savage who also directed the film. The 37-year-old actor said that he was so nervous making a movie heavily reliant on improvisation, but Savage created a safe space for the entire cast to explore their characters. "It allowed us to feel free, limitless and dive into the material, and it worked," he said.
