Film festivals are a creative wonderland. You have the films themselves, thoughtful, and interesting indies, many from far away places, that shed new perspectives, and expanded cultural horizons. Then, of course, there are the creative people behind the making of the movies — the directors, producers, actors, crew. Often, though, it’s a candid moment that puts a smile on your face.
Up-and-coming actress Sophie Nélisse is the subject of this episode of Stark Insider Uncut — when we tone down Clint Stark’s production ambitions for a second or two, and just let the camera roll.
Here, at the Mill Valley Film Festival press conference for The Book Thief premiere, we catch a charming interaction between director Brian Percival and the ever sweet Sophie. They cutely kill time, discussing how to deflect tough questions from journalists, and await the arrival of actor Geoffrey Rush so the proceedings can begin.
