And Mike has vision impairment, and he doesn’t stop.” “And for what they’ve gone through - Sagirah battling MS and Ashley donated a kidney and she used the marathon as her motivation to get up and get healthy again, get moving and recover. It’s an amazing feat to run a marathon,” Cameron told Us.

And, I guess, it helped because all three of them finished! We’re all finishers. I would tell them where I screwed up and also succeeded in the marathons. The You Deserve Better author traveled to San Francisco over the weekend after working with Degree’s “Not Done Yet Marathon” team - Sagirah Ahmed Norris, Michael Zampella and Ashley Zirkle. While James and Kirkconnell have been spending time in Miami, Cameron, for his part, moved back to Jupiter, Florida, and has been seeing Paige Lorenze. They keep each other happy and keep each other going and that’s what’s important.” But we’ve also learned from each other, so that’s good,” he added.

“They’re very happy and I think we clash just because we’re both passionate people in what we believe in. We look forward to seeing a lot of more of Benenati’s work in the future - as we can only hope there’s a lot more water in the well from where Tyler came.Bachelor’s Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell: A Complete Timeline Read article It doesn’t hurt that DP David Richardson captures absolute beauty on the RED Epic, complementing the poetic nature of Benenati’s narrative with slow-motion dance moves, hand-held naturalism, and a warm color palette. Scenes jump cut back and forth in time, dialogue bleeds together between cuts, and characters (like Tyler’s mother) enter and exit the narrative like ethereal beings, saying their peace and then moving on. He replied, ‘Why would that be embarrassing?’ He proved to be the most talented child actor I’ve ever worked with.” In just four short minutes, Dakota Allbecker brings a wide array of emotions and depth to the eponymous role of “Tyler”, no small task for any actor, but even more impressive given the boy’s age.īenenati said he wanted his film “to feel like a memory”, and in that regard, he has excelled. I asked him, ‘If it’s not too embarrassing’, would he dance a bit for the audition. “They sent me one name: Dakota Allbecker. ” But then he asked the Adderly Youth Theater Company in Santa Barbara (Benenati’s hometown) for a recommendation.

It comes as no surprise, then, that casting the role of “Tyler” proved to be the most difficult part of the process for Benenati: “It was very challenging to find a LA child actor with a keen sense of wonder and spontaneity,” Benenati said. He also shows to have a knack for directing children without making them feel precocious or “child actor”-y.

Tyler stands as an assured showcase for Benenati - who proves himself an accomplished student of Malick and Dominik. But the more I worked it out, the more I realized the story centered around Tyler and his relationship with his brother’s girlfriend.” “I wanted to create something that embraced …I wanted to create something that gave me room to experiment and collaborate with the actors…At first, it started as an experimental piece about this family who had just lost their father. Although I’m proud of the final outcome, I felt constrained during the entire process.” Wanting something different, Benenati decided to take a different approach. We had a large crew, we had every shot planned, we had very little improvisation, and I pretended that I knew exactly what I was doing. It was an ambitious project that had its share of bad luck (rain, money, locations, reshoots, etc). “I had just finished a short film that took a year to complete. Even though its narrative leans more towards experimental than traditional (asking the audience to put a lot of the pieces together themselves), Tyler packs quite a bit into its tight running time of just four minutes, and Benenati took quite a unique approach when it came to the writing process: “The idea stemmed more from the process the content at first,” he said. The official plot-line for Tyler reads: “A young boy falls in love with his older brother’s girlfriend,” but Benenati’s short film is so much more than that. “You like getting in trouble, don’t you?'” Few films capture the ephemeral nature of childhood with accuracy - the restlessness, uncertainty, and fleeting elation of being a kid evades even the best of filmmakers. Enter Writer/Director Sam Benenati’s Tyler, a poetic ballad about brotherhood, young love, and growing pains.
