Love can occasionally present itself in some pretty strange ways....In theatres now, it's time to make an unexpected trip back to this hosts home province and an unexpectedly charming tale of true love.  It's time for 'French Girl'.Gordon (Zack Braff), is a hopeless romantic, finds his proposal plans are thrown into chaos when his girlfriend is swept away to Quebec by a job offer from her ex, a sophisticated celebrity chef. Determined to keep their love alive, Gordon leaves Brooklyn for her hometown, only to find himself hilariously out of his depth in attempting to charm her hard-to-impress, French-speaking family.This one was unexpectedly charming which is likely thanks to the somewhat fresh take that debut writer/directors James A Woods and Nicolas Wright took in telling this story.  It still has all the appropriate emotional moments without overtly leaning too hard into any expected story telling beats from the genre.We had the unique pleasure of sitting down with James and Nicholas in advance of the release to talk about the origins of the story, making Quebec City a character of its own, the distinct nature of Quebecois cinema and so very much more.

Mike spoke with Nicholas Wright about his co-directing and co-writing feature film debut, French Girl (2024) which stars Zach Braff as a teacher who wants a romantic weekend away with his girlfriend (Charlotte Aubin) where he can pop the question. What he gets is a trip to her home city of Montreal where she's trying out for a position as an executive chef. The other complication is that her new boss would be an old flame (Vanessa Hudgens).French Girl opens March 15, 2024.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.

“She never forgot that she had a daughter out there somewhere.” – Lisa Wright, Black Adoptee Despite being born in the 60's when closed adoptions were the norm, Lisa Wright's progressive mother opted to be open and transparent with her daughter about her adoption status. Her goal was that her child would not feel disconnected, angry, or abandoned. While Lisa was able to detect distinct differences between, she and her family, she also was astutely aware the family doesn't always mean DNA was involved. The fact that her mother had adopted and also fostered children, #TheBlackFamily constellation looked a lot different, but had the same love as any blood-related family. Lisa was so secure within her family; she rejected the notion of engaging in a search and reunion process. When asked by her mother if she would ever look, Lisa's response was, “I don't need to find my mom. Last time I checked, you were still here.” These words held true until one fateful request to take a 23andMe DNA Test came from Lisa's son, Nicholas. Who knew that Nicholas's desire for a tribal tattoo would create a pathway to locating biological family in such a beautiful and unexpected way? In this story, a mother and daughter are reunited after 50 years. And GUESS WHO HER MAMA IS? If you want to know, you'll need to listen in to this VERY SPECIAL episode where we hear for the first time, the perspectives of not only the Black Adoptee (Lisa), but her first known blood relative – her son, Nicholas.

David Lan is a huge force in theatre in Britain, indeed internationally. But how he got there is surprising. Brought up in Cape Town, he began his career as an anthropologist, living for two years in a remote area of Zimbabwe in order to study spirit magic. He went on to become a playwright and documentary director, and he's written the libretto for two operas. One critic recently described Lan as a 'Diaghilev-like figure' because of his flair for bringing artists together. As Artistic Director of the Young Vic, he led the £12.5m theatre rebuild - and has over the last 14 years established a reputation both for spotting new talent, and for persuading directors from all over the world to come to London to direct wildly inventive productions. His latest role, announced this year, is Consulting Artistic Director for the New York Arts Centre, which is still being built, on the site of the 9/11 attacks. In Private Passions, David Lan talks about his upbringing in South Africa, and how he learnt to love music as a young boy in his grandmother's shop, which sold bicycles - and piles of old 78s. He describes his time as an anthropologist in Zimbabwe, living in a remote and dangerous part of the country just after the war of independence. And he pays tribute to the relationship at the heart of his life, with distinguished playwright Nicholas Wright, whom Lan met when he was only 17. Music includes Beethoven, Shostakovich, Paul Simon, Nina Simone, a Bach Prelude played by jazz pianist Keith Jarrett, and the overture to Mozart's Magic Flute - played on marimbas.
