Great behind-the-scenes stuff! Thanks for posting!
well i've tried and tried but i can't get any interview up.
Judith,
The video may not work in Firefox, but it does work in Explorer.
Thanks so much for posting this link to the interview with Francois Velle. I attended the premiere of "The Narrows" at TIFF 08 and was fortunate enough to speak with Mr. Velle about working with Vincent. His high regard for Vincent is evident here just as it was in our conversation. Both he and Kevin Zegers said Vincent was very helpful to them in making the film because of his background of living in Brooklyn. Mr. Velle also said Vincent is an amazing actor and "a great guy with a big heart". I hope the film soon reaches theaters. Audience reaction at TIFF was great, especially to Vincent's "reveal" scene that Mr. Velle refers to. At that point the audience broke into spontaneous applause. I saw the film twice and loved it both times. I can't wait to see it again.
NLFAN you are so LUCKY to have seen the film and TWICE. who knows when we in the UK will get to see it. we live in hope!!
