'It creates this experience on set that really is unlike anything I’ve ever done.'
The Big Picture At this year's Toronto International Film Festival, director Dominic Savage's latest feature, Close to You, made its world premiere. Starring Elliot Page and Hillary Baack, the film brings a rather personal story to the screen. However, one aspect in particular makes it stand out from the crowd: it is fully improvised. To promote the film, Savage, Page, and Baack stopped by the Collider media studio at MARBL to discuss the film.
When speaking to Collider's Perri Nemiroff, Baack and Page talked a bit about their experience filming a project that was largely improvised. For Baack, she was excited to take on the challenge, crediting her solid rapport with Savage as an important factor in tackling the process. She was nervous at the start, but eventually fell into the rhythm of the film: "[T]here’s so much freedom as an actor, and I had a couple of gems with Dominic, and we also really hit it off.
Page similarly praised collaborating with Savage, sharing his thoughts on how the director was able to pull off filming Close to You the way he did. Page said that Savage "leads with his heart. He leads with feeling, he leads with instinct, he leads with just wanting to find honesty and create something that feels real.
What Is 'Close to You' About? Close to You centers on Page's character Sam, who hasn't seen his family since he transitioned. However, he has to rip the band-aid off eventually, and that time has finally arrived. So, Sam heads back to Cobourg, his hometown, where he and the rest of his family gather to celebrate his father's birthday.
