Sundance Film "We The Animals" Celebrates Boyhood and Coming of Age
"We the Animals" is a passion project for director Jeremiah Zagar who adapted the story from the novel by Justin Torres. Alyssa Julya Smith sits down with director Jeremiah Zagar, and actors Sheila Vand and Raul Castillo to talk about the film, which is ultimately a story about family.
Zagar discusses the process of bringing his favorite books to life on the big screen and the process of working with the Sundance incubator to make that happen. He also discusses casting three first-time actors in lead roles.
Vand and Castillo chime in and talk about how they made the set feel like a family, and how they spent a lot of time together to create that family bond. The film premieres for the first time at Sundance Film Festival.
Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy are calling Michael Oher's claims that they enriched themselves at his expense “outlandish," “hurtful and absurd" and part of a “shakedown” by the former NFL offensive tackle, whose relationship with the family was the inspiration for the movie “The Blind Side."
Firefighters struggling to extinguish a blaze caused by a deadly explosion near the Dominican Republic’s capital this week found two more bodies Wednesday, bringing the death toll to 13, authorities said.
