Cole Sprouse, Corey Fogelmanis & Tommy Dorfman Interview: I Wish You All the Best
29The SXSW 2024 line-up was loaded with wildly impressive feature directorial debuts. For example, there was the incredibly clever seamstress thriller, Sew Torn, from Freddy MacDonald and also the riveting competitive cheerleading film, Backspot, directed by D.W. Waterson. Yet another artist making their feature filmmaking debut in a very special way? Tommy Dorfman who’s behind the book to film adaptation, I Wish You All the Best.
In his first headlining performance in a feature film, Corey Fogelmanis leads as Ben DeBacker. Ben is a non-binary teen who comes out to their parents and is then thrown out of the house. From there, Ben moves in with their estranged older sister (Alexandra Daddario) and her husband (Cole Sprouse), and attempts to get a fresh start at a new school. Not only does Ben finally have a home life filled with love and support, but they find the same at school when Nathan (Miles Gutierrez-Riley) instantly welcomes Ben into his group of friends. A happier life feels more within reach to Ben than ever.
While in Austin for I Wish You All the Best’s world premiere at SXSW, Sprouse, Fogelmanis and Dorfman all visited the Collider interview studio to discuss their experience bringing Ben’s story to the big screen.
