Another installment of my interview with the screenwriter of FOURPLAY: SKOKIE, Jessica Hedrick. Read part one here. And exciting news about where you can see FOURPLAY this fall at festivals around the world shortly! - Kyle
I think SKOKIE deals with a central theme in FOURPLAY, which is the
unalloyed, cringe-inducing vulnerability at the center of our desire to
be loved and recognized.
The film zeroes in on this vulnerability
with a kind of quiet insistence, and unapologetically cheers for the
characters on their odd journeys.
I loved the critic who pointed out how FOURPLAY echoes the undiluted humanism and storytelling of films from the 1970s. I love the innocence of this movie. It is plainspoken and direct about its priorities, dedicated to our all too human hearts in a way that I have not seen since my own 70s childhood.
