FOX) – and the Williams’ advisor, Carrie (MISSI PYLE) – to hatch a plan to save his patient. World premiere at Cannes Film Festival 2018 and winner Best Feature Film-First Time Director at the Queen Palm International Film Festival and\u00a0California Film Award Winner for Best Actor: Christopher Cousins.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nobody Knows<\/strong> (Dir. Nolan Goff) (20 mins.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>In the wake of his brother\u2019s death, a quiet high schooler navigates his small Texas town, while knowing he is responsible for the accident.<\/p>\n

The story itself began with a friend asking me if I ever thought I could tell a crime story. I shrugged it off because it wasn\u2019t my natural disposition. But from an unexpected place, I began to see the opening scene. I didn\u2019t know who the characters were, but I knew where it took place \u2013 this very specific creekbed, back home in Texas, where friends and I would run around when we were young.<\/p>\n

One morning, years after that conversation, the characters finally clicked into place. I think that\u2019s how it happens often: it\u2019s when you\u2019re not thinking about it that it suddenly all makes sense. I knew who the characters were and I knew what my version of a crime story could be.<\/p>\n

Since the setting was so vivid for me, what came next was finding the cast to play the characters. I turned to a mutual acquaintance, Tommy O\u2019Brien, for the lead role of Ross. His past work wasn\u2019t anything like this material, but I just had a gut feeling about him. Grateful that I wasn\u2019t wrong. His performance throughout but particularly the tenderness of the final scene still moves me \u2013 all credit to him. He made it alive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
