Exclusive: Ann Dowd and Reed Birney talk Mass and its emotional effect
Coming out this week from Bleecker Street is Mass, written and directed by Fran Kraz and starring Jason Isaacs, Ann Dowd, Martha Plimpton, and Reed Birney. Also featured in the film are Breeda Wool, Michelle N. Carter, and Kagen Albright.
Years after an unspeakable tragedy tore their lives apart, two sets of parents (Reed Birney and Ann Dowd, Jason Isaacs and Martha Plimpton), agree to talk privately in an attempt to move forward. In Fran Kranz’ writing and directing debut, he thoughtfully examines their journey of grief, anger and acceptance by coming face-to-face with the ones who have been left behind.
BlackfilmandTV.com’s Wilson Morales spoke with Dowd and Birney about their emotional journey in tackling such a heavy topic and film.
