The Big Picture Two people in a cab talking is an ambitious idea for a play, let alone a movie. It's also the perfect vehicle for artists to show the power and beauty that can come from starting a conversation with someone you'd otherwise never cross paths with. Daddio, which was written and directed by playwright Christy Hall in her feature film debut, does exactly that.

Daddio RDrama A woman taking a cab ride from JFK engages in a conversation with the taxi driver about the important relationships in their lives. JOHNSON: When we were trying to figure out who Clark was, the number one dream person was Sean Penn. And then I was lucky enough to send him the script and he read it and wanted to be a part of it, so that was amazing. It's a magical script. It's a magical experience and I was desperate to perform it, but also to produce it with my company was a real honor.

JOHNSON: I would definitely do it again, yeah. I mean, depending on the DP, for sure. But I would. It was so wonderful for us, and while we were shooting it made it so there weren't all these natural variables that would cause issues for us. It created a really cool environment for us because when we looked out the window we were seeing the streets of New York go by and not looking at a green screen, which also makes people look sickly. It was great.
