Screen Thoughts was present for the opening night of the 24th annual Woods Hole Film Festival – which featured the Sundance hit "Infinitely Polar Bear". The autobiographical film marks the directorial debut of Writer/Director (and 4x Emmy-nominee) Maya Forbes. Hollister and O’Toole discuss the genesis of the film (it actually involves Wes Anderson), its themes (bipolar disorder), and the music (including a song by Maya’s sister China Forbes – of Pink Martini fame).
Starring Mark Ruffalo, Zoe Saldana, Ashley Aufderheide, and Imogene Wolodarsky (Forbes’ real-life daughter).
To hear in Maya Forbes’ own words how she came up with the title of her movie, check out O’Toole’s Encore from the Woods Hole Q&A here: https://vimeo.com/134558467
