Welcome to another episode of The Following Films Podcast! I'm your host, Chris Maynard and today I’m joined by director Joshua Caldwell to discuss his latest film, MENDING THE LINE.
In the film, a wounded veteran (played by Sinqua Walls) returns to the States still carrying the demons of war, hauntingly disturbed by the everyday expectations of friendships and love interests. While in Livingston, Montana, he meets Ike (played by Brian Cox), a surly, headstrong fly-fisherman more than twice his age, and Lucy (Mattfeld), a talented photographer turned librarian who reads aloud to veterans, both damaged in their own way. While getting treatment for his wounds, both physical and psychological, we follow a man who wants only to re-enlist, to have something to die for. But the real challenge is finding something to live for.
But before we dive into our conversation with Josh,, I'd like to take a moment to thank our sponsor, Bookmans. Bookmans is your go-to independent bookstore, where you can find an extensive selection of books, movies, music, and more. They truly believe in the power of storytelling and the magic of the cinematic arts. So, if you're looking to expand your film collection be sure to visit your nearest Bookmans.
