, noting that the film itself is a “clever, gripping docudrama.”

“From the moment Winner, an ex-USAF Airman fluent in Farsi, Pashto and Dari and working as a translator for an NSA contractor, arrives back to her small house in Augusta, Ga., to discover the FBI waiting for her, Sweeney’s every flicker of emotion, micro-reaction, evasion and retraction, is utterly believable,” Kiang wrote., Sweeney told journalists she studied Winner’s interviews in order to adapt her mannerisms and way of speaking for the audition.

“When Tina connected us, I was like, ‘Oh my god, this is a dream for an actor,’ because I’m actually getting to speak to the real person, I’m getting to dive more into their mind and and what she’s gone through in her life,” Sweeney said. “Reality” is produced by Noah Stahl, Brad Becker-Parton, Riva Marker and Greg Nobile. Executive producers are Ellyn Daniels, Will O’Connor, Daniel Ginsberg, Andrew Beck, Bill Way, Elliott Whitton, Eva Maria Daniels, Philipp Engelhorn, Caitlin Gold and Satter. David Duque-Estrada and Rita Walsh co-produced.

The film is a Seaview and 2 SQ FT production in association with Burn These Words, In The Cut, Fit Via Vi, Cinereach, and Tanbark Pictures production. Financing, production and distribution legal handled by Eugene Pikulin at 3B Law.
