From Sundance to the Cinema 3: Momma's Man

Momma's Man: An interview with director Azazel Jacobs and actor Matt Boren: 

MOMMA'S MAN begins with Mikey returning to his parents' place in New York after deciding not to get on the plane to go home to his wife and small child in California. Unsure of his own motivations, he makes up excuses about why he is staying. His doting mother is more than happy to enable his procrastination, while his father remains typically distanced from the situation. As the days go on, Mikey grows more and more entrenched in his adolescent sanctuary and comes to a point where he must choose his life now or his life then.

We sat down with writer/director Azazel Jacobs at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year to discuss the film, directing his parents, and exploring different levels of reality. Matt Boren, Azazel’s lead actor, joins us to chat about finding his characters heart beat, following non-actors and working with the gentle director.
