Thanks to Entertainment Squad & Liz Rodriguez we got to check out Documentarian's first stab at a narrative feature, and DAMN, you can see why he has a stack of awards!!! PLUS, we got to cut it up with him, and one of the films stars, which wasn't expected. As we do, we got into every aspect of the film, and those other things that help you see what kind of storyteller someone is! A great chat, not to be missed!!!
'Grace Point' is the scripted feature directorial debut from Rory Karpf, which he also co-wrote with Paul Russell Smith. We follow a young man (John Owen Lowe), who, whilst on the way to a remote drug rehab with his Dad (Andrew McCarthy), finds himself in a strange town being chased by the locals (Sean Carrigan, Harlan Drum, Aljamain Sterling, James Storm, Din Thomas), as well as his own personal demons.
