Interviews were shot and cut by rising star filmmaker Fernando Frias exclusively for Filmcatcher.com.  Fernando was on set for the majority of production and prepared this interview in a back room of the sound stage that he “found”.  We weren’t really supposed to use it, but it seemed like a good idea.  Look for more interviews by Fernando coming soon.

Alan Hruska, the writer-director of two independent films, Nola (Tribeca Film Festival, 2003) and The Warrior Class (Hamptons Film Festival 2005) was also the director of the recent off-Broadway production of Waiting for Godot, author of the novel, Borrowed Time (Dial Press, 1986), co-founder and chairman of the book publishing company, Soho Press, and a member of the Actors Studio, Playwrights and Directors Unit. 

The New York Times said Hruska’s Godot was “a pleasure to watch” and “Under Alan Hruska’s direction [Gogo and Didi] have the dynamic of an old married couple, comfortable and quarrelsome and mutually dependent.”  The New York Post said “just the right mixture of pathos and comic bluster,” “an admirable production that well serves the work’s brilliant combination of broad humor and existential despair.”

Soho Press has published the works of many prominent British authors, including Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, Sue Townsend, Jake Arnott, Peter Lovesey and Judith Grossman.
