We chat with MendingTheLine director Joshua_Caldwell about the importance of portraying fly fishing and military PTSD accurately in the upcoming Brian Cox film:

Mending The Line is an emotional movie that is sure to touch everyone who watches it. It follows John Cotler, an injured Marine who is dead set on returning to combat as soon as his physical wounds heal. When he meets an older fly-fisherman and a photographer turned librarian, he works towards finding something to live for, instead of finding something to die for.

Joshua Caldwell Talks Mending The Line Screen Rant: What was it that drew you to want to be a part of Mending The Line? From there, you've got Perry Mattfeld, who was on the hit show In The Dark, and was pitched by our fantastic casting director, who really went out of her way to find these great actors. Perry came on board, and it turns out she had actually fly fished before. She had done it a year before in Montana. She'll say, I didn't really fly fish, but that was more experience than anybody else we were looking at had.

Screen Rant: One of the things I really enjoyed about this film was Sinqua's perfromance of portraying a Marine that feels a need to go back to war. Can you talk about bringing that out of him? A lot of it was just connecting Sinqua to these veterans who had actually gone through this and experienced it and hearing from them and the emotional journey that they went on. You hear about soldiers being very stoic, but we found that to be pretty much the opposite. They were really, really vulnerable with us and shared their story with us and a lot of that ended up making it into the film. Joshua Caldwell: I think it's twofold.
