The day we landed in Park City, Ryan and I had only a few hours to get from the airport, to our accommodations in Deer Valley, to the Eccles Center, where we were set to interview the cast and crew of “Newness,” just minutes before the film’s World Premiere at the Sundance Film Festival.

What started as a hectic day quickly turned into one of the most fun conversations I’ve had as I chatted with director Drake Doremus, Matthew Gray Gubler, Laia Costa, and screenwriter Ben York Jones. They shared in our excitement about what lay ahead that night and also the memory of Anton Yelchin (Doremus), our previous interview history (Gubler), filmmaking similarities of past films (Costa), and our common Alma Mater, Chapman University (Jones).
