Noam Ash & Mike Doyle on Bookends — Love, Loss, and Life’s In-Between Moments | SBIFF
from The Buzz - BuzzWorthy Radio · host The Buzz - BuzzWorthy Radio
At the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, I sat down with actor Noam Ash and writer/director Mike Doyle to talk about their new film Bookends. We dive into the film’s coming-of-age themes, the emotional hospital scenes with F. Murray Abraham and Caroline Aaron, and why ambiguity—not closure—was the right ending for Nate’s journey. Funny, heartfelt, and deeply human.
