I sat down to interview Mark Ruffalo to discuss a new film he EPs, Jordan’s official Oscar submission, All That’s Left of You.
We also interviewed the film’s audacious director, writer, producer, and star, the Emmy-nominated Cherien Dabis (dir: Ozark, Ramy, Only Murders in the Building).
Here’s the synopsis:
After a Palestinian teen gets swept up into a West Bank protest, his mother recounts the family story of hope, courage and relentless struggle that led to this fateful moment.
Ruffalo was struck by the film’s multi-generational portrait of overcoming trauma with grace.
He’s the type of artist who doesn’t mind delving into darker, messier projects about human nature, like Foxcatcher and HBO’s I Know This Much Is True.
And that’s part of what attracted him to partner with Cherien Dabis.
Dabis shared the wild process of making her film. Having to cancel the shoot two weeks before production and move to a new country, the finished product is a seamless combination of four crews from four countries, three assistant directors, and two cinematographers.
Yet, it doesn’t miss a beat. Here is the trailer:
