Interview by Paul Salfen
A single meal frames this three-act story of the indelible bond between Loren, a promising filmmaker, and Rose, a storied actress looking to reinvigorate her career. From a lunch meeting to discuss a possible collaboration grows a years-long friendship between two people whose love of art, understanding of grief, and faith in life’s potential guide them through personal and creative hardships. Kelly Blatz and Jacqueline Bisset star with a chemistry that is at once authentic and intoxicating.
LOREN & ROSE was written and directed by award-winning filmmaker Russell Brown (Search Engines, The Blue Tooth Virgin) and was produced by Russell Brown & Valeria Lopez. The film also stars Gia Carides (My Big Fat Greek Wedding), Paul Sand (Sweet Land), and Erin Cahill (“Sleepy Hollow”). It has a running time of 82 mins and is not rated by the MPAA.
