The UB Interview: Cast + Director Talk ‘A Lot of Nothing’
“A Lot of Nothing” is in Theaters and on VOD Today!
James and Vanessa seem to be the perfect couple – happily married, successful, and comfortable. One night, their lives are rocked to the core when, after watching a tragedy play out on the evening news, they realize their neighbor (Hartley) was involved. In a state of shock, and with opposing viewpoints on how to address the issue, they embark on a highly combustible journey to ‘do something‘ about it.
Mo McRae dazzles in his feature directorial debut, with a keen visual eye and a fresh, compelling voice. With “A Lot of Nothing,” he offers a pointed take on the micro and macro dynamics at play in many of our lives, tackling them with nuance, finesse, and wit.
Wildly entertaining, humorous, and often absurd, “A Lot of Nothing” acts as a funhouse mirror to reflect the best and worst of humanity – and how our experiences of race, class, family, fear, love, and happiness drive our choices today.
The film is most definitely worth checking out this weekend. One thing is for certain, is it will start some great conversations. The twists in the movie, along with how it shows how assumptions can be deadly, sums up the title.
