Fixation Interview: Maddie Hasson, Atticus Mitchell and Mercedes Bryce Morgan
22The start of Oscar season has a habit of eclipsing the independent features looking for distribution at the Toronto International Film Festival. Yes, there were a number of Academy Award nomination-worthy performances seen on screen at the event that will deservedly go on to earn those nods, but one of the very best performances of the bunch comes not from a feature directed by an industry icon or in a film with an ensemble full of past nominees, but rather from Mercedes Bryce Morgan’s feature directorial debut. It’s Maddie Hasson’s performance in Fixation.
She leads as Dora, a young woman who’s locked away in an institution for a crime she can’t remember committing. While there, she’s subjected to one intense evaluation after the next, which includes reenactment therapy. Throughout it all, Dora struggles to figure out, did she really commit this crime? Can these doctors be trusted? Or, is it her own memory and mind that’s failing her?
In celebration of Fixation’s world premiere at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival, Morgan, Hasson, and co-star Atticus Mitchell all visited the Collider Supper Suite and Media Studio at Marbl to discuss the making of their twisty psychological thriller.
Special thanks to our TIFF 2022 partners A-list Communications, Belvedere Vodka, Marbl Toronto, COVERGIRL Canada, Tres Amici Wines, Toronto Star, and Blue Moon Belgian White beer.
