Jason Schwartzman & Carol Kane Discuss Unusual Way They Filmed Their Jewish Comedy
8Inspired by his mother’s own coming-of-late-age story, co-writer and director Nathan Silver’s comedy, Between the Temples, made its world premiere at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. While there celebrating, stars Jason Schwartzman, Carol Kane, Madeleine Weinstein, and Robert Smigel stopped by Collider’s Media Studio to discuss working on the film.
Between the Temples is a heartwarming film about a cantor (Schwartzman) struggling with faith when he discovers his latest bat mitzvah student (Kane) is actually his grade school teacher. From the director behind indies like Thirst Street and Uncertain Times, Silver’s latest feature balances a warm story of connection and the rediscovery of life with its laugh-out-loud cast.
The cast and writer-director of the film stopped by our Media Studio, sponsored by Film.io, to talk with Collider's Steve Weintraub about working with Silver on his first of fourteen films submitted to Sundance. They explain what it was about this script that drew them into the project, how Silver's unusual scripting-writing and filming process proved both difficult and fun, and share other projects they were nervous about stepping on set for, including Annie Hall and Carnal Knowledge with Jack Nicholson.
