'Untogether' director Emma Forrest on putting her life on screen and why working with Jamie Dornan has spoilt her forever
Forrest speaks to MEAWW about working with a star-studded cast, writing romance and the influence of 'female artistes whose detractors dislike them for oversharing' in the film
There aren't many times that a directorial debut manages to amaze a film festival, but Emma Forrest isn't your garden variety director. Forrest is a journalist, novelist, and screenwriter and has previously written for Brad Pitt's production company Plan B Entertainment as well as big players in the game like Miramax and Paramount. Her debut venture too has some big names — it features 'Fifty Shades of Grey' star Jamie Dornan, 'Animal Kingdom's Ben Mendelsohn, and sisters Lola Kirke and Jemima Kirke from 'Gone Girl' and 'Girls' respectively. However, Forrest's 'Untogether' isn't about the stars — it's about a damn good story.
