Actress SFF 2014 Interview

This film is part of our Documentary Feature Competition. The lines between non-fiction filmmaking and staged performance are freely and effectively blurred in Robert Greene's beautifully crafted ACTRESS. Brandy Burre, once a rising star on HBO's THE WIRE, serves as both subject and star of this intimate portrait of a performer coming face to face with life's difficult compromises: marriage, children and a burning desire to act again. With her marriage falling apart and her plans to reclaim her career running up against an industry indifferent to her dreams, Brandy allows Greene complete access to her life, creating a collaborative portrait of an artist at a vital crossroads.
