The Big Picture Nadia Conners’ narrative feature debut is a true performance showcase. She penned a poignant script brimming with layers and complexity, put the material in the hands of an ensemble full of acting aces, and let them soar with it.
“I have wanted to direct a narrative features since I was 25. It's been a long, long time since I went to the NYU directors program. I spent a lot of time doing documentaries, ecological films, environmental messaging, but I've always been writing and always trying to direct a movie and, as you know, it's very hard. It has been much harder for women.
“We have a 13-year-old, Nadia and I, and in success, it is harder to go to work for me, and I think maybe my wife is now experiencing that, than it has ever been because that means that you're gonna be away from your child for a very long time. So it's not just shiny, glossy things. These are real absences and real memories that you won't have the opportunity to make because you're away on location for a really long time.
“The one thing that I love about Hollywood is the creative community. As everybody up here has, I’ve spent a lot of time, and a lot of different groups of people. But the groups of people that I feel most myself around and most comfortable around are artists and storytellers and writers and directors , and people that are passionate about storytelling. That's my home. It resides in my body.”
