And I think that’s about what is so special with her performance in the movie is that she’s completely, emotionally naked. It was limitless with what she was willing to explore. But at the same time, really kind of brave, and didn’t have any boundaries or limits potentially. ![]() She was really in the right place, spiritually, in her life to play this role. Since Shailene is the real center of the film, how involved was she?ĭrake Doremus: So much, so much. ![]() It’s really important for me to do that, and I do think that’s what gives the actors a little agency to go to a place that they normally wouldn’t on a more conventional script or process. Bring all of our souls into it and mix it together essentially. How much do you the characters evolve once they’ve been cast, is there a lot of collaboration?ĭrake Doremus: We always leave a little room for the actors to kind of make it their own, and bring their life into it.

So, most of your movies center on relationships, how much do you pull from your own life when writing?ĭrake Doremus: Emotionally speaking, I definitely draw things from my own life, and people around me.

Of course, that also means navigating two new love interests. It’s about a young woman, post-breakup, in search of what she wants and discovering how to love herself. Drake Doremus, who has done several romantic dramas ( Like Crazy, Equals) comes back with another, new take on the messiness of love and life with Endings, Beginnings.
