Writer and director Melissa Miller discusses her debut feature, All These Small Moments, including what inspired her to tell the story through the eyes of a young boy and her experience of taking her film from script to screen, working with both seasoned actors – ’80s star Molly Ringwald and Brian D’Arcy James – and younger actors such as breakout star Brendan Meyer.
All These Small Moments: A boy faces the first upsets of adolescence: his parents are on the verge of divorce, a schoolmate is courting him, a young woman who crosses on the bus lights up his fantasies.
