There’s nothing more tragic and horrifying than the loss of a child, which may be why filmmaker Gaby Dellal (On a Clear Day) decided to explore it in her new drama Angels Crest.
Based on the book of the same name by Leslie Schwartz, it stars Thomas Dekker (A Nightmare on Elm Street) as Ethan, the young father of 3-year-old son Nate, who vanishes when alone in the car in the wilderness outside their small Rocky Mountain town. Lynn Collins (X-Men Origins: Wolverine) is the boy’s absent mother Cindy, an alcoholic always in trouble whose grief is overwhelming when she learns the son she had to give up custody of is now dead. Over the course of the film, we see how the two of them react and place blame for Nate’s death and how the rest of the community starts to take sides on the matter. Things get more serious when a prosecutor played by Jeremy Piven comes to town to investigate the boy’s death. Dellal’s ensemble cast also includes Mira Sorvino, Kate Walsh, Elizabeth McGovern and Joseph Morgan.
A few weeks back, ComingSoon.net sat down with Ms. Dellal and the lovely Lynn Collins to discuss making the movie.
ComingSoon.net: I didn’t realize you made “On a Clear Day,” which was a rather uplifting, optimistic movie, so what made you interested in doing a movie on this subject?
Gaby Dellal: Well, “On a Clear Day” also has a child that died, but you may not remember that. I think I have a running theme, which is exploring what it is to lose a child. Happily it’s never happened to me, but I think it’s always intrigued me. I think it’s the nature of grief but also the nature of parenting, so really this film is about all of us trying to be the best parents we possibly can, and we all do it by the skin of our teeth and there’s no manual, so it’s really exploring different ways of parenting in this small community.CS: And was this a location you were interested in setting a movie?
Dellal: Well, it’s adapted from a book which was set in Montana but we ended up shooting outside of Calgary. It was so beautiful and I explored many, many locations, and I had the happy, lucky opportunity to go across the Rockies and I found this particular town, and it was amazing. Didn’t see a bear…CS: What interested you in playing Cindy, Lynn? She seems very different from some of the other characters you’ve played, damaged with many problems.
Lynn Collins: In my life, I have lost two siblings, and I never really feel like there’s a time in my life where I could figure out the grieving process, and I think Western society in particular has the funeral, but little else in ritual and support for grief and loss, and that’s what attracted me to it, ’cause I was like here’s this person going through this grieving and handling it in all the ways you shouldn’t or in all the ways that it would just make it emotionally worse. Hopefully, it answers something to the audiences, answers an emotional question perhaps, or inspires an emotional question of their own experience with loss and grief, or just to open the dialogue in general is very important.CS: But the fact it’s a kid is especially tough, because you meet this kid at the beginning and he’s quite adorable and if you go in not knowing what’s going to happen, it’s pretty shocking.
Dellal: Yeah, and it happens in the first six minutes, and you think, “Oh my God, where is this film going? It can’t get even darker.” And it indeed does.CS: Considering your own background, Lynn, is this something that’s tough to deal with or is it something you tap into and use as catharsis?
Collins: I kind of did both. I think I was very conscious to bless what I did. I’m not a religious person, I’m a spiritual person, but I wanted to make sure that when you’re dealing with something that is this spiritual, in a way. I don’t want to speak for you as a director, but for any artist dealing with this part of life, death, what we know not of, and what hurts us the most as the people who are left behind, I couldn’t help but bring myself to it, and then there were other times as an actor you can not be able to find the emotional nerve, the vein, and that I also experienced on the shoot where there was a moment feeling numb within the process, because it was so so so intense, so you’re always thinking about what it would be for the child to have died, for the partner to be away, to love the partner, to love the child, to feel responsible. It was a couple of times overloading me and I just shut down. But Gabby was amazing, because I think you were able to sense with all of your actors when they needed pushing and pulling, because to helm something that is so emotional, you have to be emotionally sensitive human being and you certainly were.

Lynn Collins has her sights set on returning to celebrated New York arts school Juilliard to teach kids what she has learned about acting.
The star spent four years at Julliard High School of Performing Arts and admits it was an amazing experience that really set her on the path to success as an actress.
And she’d like to pay her teachers back by becoming one of them and sharing her experiences in Hollywood.
Collins says, “I was actually told to go into drama when I was 14 and I really approached it like a job.
“I knew I had to do it legitimately so I went to Julliard and spent four years there honing the craft and took it very seriously.
“I would love to go back and teach there. I’m working out when that would be appropriate timing wise.
“When I was there we didn’t have a film class so I’d like to teach a class where they do scenes where you tape them and see what they look like, and teach students how to relax in front of a camera.”
