Driveways (film)

The houses used in Driveways

... that the crew of Driveways went to a local real estate broker to find the two houses (pictured), with front porches and a driveway between them, used in the film? Source: "We searched far and wide throughout Poughkeepsie, looking for houses with porches attached to them. We had our location manager looking, I was looking, my producers were looking, etc. We ultimately found these two houses through a real estate agent that we went to and asked, 'Hey, we have an interesting challenge for you…', Filmmaker; May 14, 2020.
- ALT1:... that Christine Ebersole was able to film her scenes in Driveways and perform on Broadway on the same days? Source: "We were also close enough to New York City where someone like Christine Ebersole, who has a supporting role in our film, could come and do a couple hours on our set and then go back down to New York City for an evening performance." Filmmaker Andrew Ahn interview linked above.
- ALT2:... that Driveways director Andrew Ahn said that the experience of directing a script he didn't write improved both his writing and directing? "Directing something that I hadn't written is something that I practiced a little bit before on the TV show Disclosed, but it is different when it's a film. There's a certain kind of objectivity that you can have with the material when you haven't written it. But I also experience the opposite in a way where sometimes I was more generous with the material, where if something was confusing to me I would really try and find some reason behind the confusion. I would really investigate the material. If I had written it myself, I might just be like, “Oh this doesn't work, let me just rewrite it.' The Film Stage; May 8, 2019. "I've found that directing other people’s writing makes you become a better writer. You begin to see, in a very intense way, what other writers are doing. It's not the same as just reading someone else’s screenplay and thinking, 'Oh, I've learned some lessons from this.' When you actually have to direct that other person’s screenplay, the lessons that you learn about writing really come across. What I've learned from Hannah and Paul's script for Driveways are lessons about intense character development and humanity." Filmmaker Ahn interview.

Comment: While I have expanded this to the point of eligibility, I'm not done, so there's no need to rush.

5x expanded by Daniel Case (talk). Self-nominated at 19:57, 23 January 2021 (UTC).

Starting review. Zeete (talk) 19:22, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
Expanded well over five times within seven days, cited, neutral, Earwig reported Violation Possible, but only long quotes, so ok

all three hooks cited, interesting, ALT2 was insightful, QPQ done, picture looks ok

@Daniel Case: Questions:

I notice there are no references cited in the Synopsis section. Is this within policy?

@Zeete: Generally yes, per MOS:PLOTSOURCE. Daniel Case (talk) 22:28, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

How would one know that those are the two houses in the film?

You can see one on the onesheet. You can also see it and the other in the trailer and this clip. And in the film, you see (a couple of times) those houses, from that angle (albeit in summertime). Daniel Case (talk) 22:28, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, Zeete (talk) 19:54, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

@Daniel Case: Thanks for your answers. Now I get the picture.
Good to go. Thanks, Zeete (talk) 11:56, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
