Fully Realized Humans / Film School Radio interview with Director Joshua Leonard & Writer Jess Weixler
Director Joshua Leonard (Elliott) and Screenwriter Jess Weixler’s (Jackie) raucous and raw comedy FULLY REALIZED HUMANS they set out to blow-up the accepted wisdom that there is never a perfect time to have a baby. Jackie (Jess Weixler) and Elliott (Joshua Leonard) beg to differ. There will be a perfect time — just as soon as they've fixed all of their own issues and become the kind of people who won't screw up their own kids the way their parents screwed them up. Realizing that if they want to break their cycles of dysfunction once and for all, they'll have to confront their deepest fears and greatest shortcomings head-on. With less than a month until their due date, they embark on a madcap mission to become FULLY REALIZED HUMANS. This crusade will push them to the edge of sanity, forcing them to battle with themselves, each other, their friends, and even their families. When the smoke clears, they'll either be the world's greatest parents... or they'll be institutionalized. Director, co-writer and lead actor Joshua Leonard and co-writer and lead actor Jess Weixler join us to talk about the lightning quick turnaround for filming, working while pregnant and bringing together a talented supporting cast that includes Beth Grant, Tom Bower, Janizca Bravo, and Jennifer Lafleur.
