'With the right support, I am 100 percent certain that this film can break through to a wide audience the way 'CODA' did,' says the helmer of a film about a father (Bobby Cannavale) and his autistic son (William Fitzgerald).
’s backstory, Cannavale’s performance and his hopes for the film’s future.
Tony Spiridakis [the film’s screenwriter] and I have been best friends for over 40 years. We met at the Williamstown Theater Festival in 1981 where I got my first professional job . Tony was the first person I laid eyes on as I stepped out of my ‘77 Chevy Nova on a beautiful Berkshire morning, and I knew instantly that we would be friends for life. We’ve been best men at our weddings and are godfathers to each other’s first child.
In putting the film together, it was critical that we keep the autistic community central to the process. In addition to those on our producing team and cast with autistic children, we have multiple neurodiverse people in our cast and crew — chief among them is William A. Fitzgerald, the extraordinary young autistic actor who plays Ezra.Bobby Cannavale embodies everything we were looking for in Max. Bobby brings a kind of electric volatility and danger to everything he does.
