Getting "Halfway There" Into The Sundance Film Festival
For the first time ever, the Sundance Film Festival is featuring a category dedicated to episodic content. One of the inaugural selections of the category is "Halfway There," starring Matthew Lillard and Blythe Danner.
Lillard, as well as writer Nick Morton and director Rick Rosenthal, describe the process of creating the new series. "Halfway There" chronicles recovering addict Jimmy Bishop (Lillard) as his sober living facility teeters on the edge of bankruptcy. He is forced to take in his wealthy alcoholic mother (Danner) as a client.
Morton, Lillard, and Rosenthal also discuss the fact that Sundance is showcasing episodic content for the first time ever.
