Duplass, Jay -- CYRUS
Jay Duplass -- CYRUS
 Click here to listen to the interview (15:13)
Filmmaker Jay Duplass channeled the close relationship he shares with brother, co-writer and co-director, Mark, into the sweet but insular relationship the 21-year-old title character of their film CYRUS shares with his mother. As part of the Mumblecore movement, their particular brand of indy filmmaking, their goal is to capture the an emotional immediacy and honesty that tightly scripted films can't touch. Theirs is an instinctive apprpoach to filmmaking that requires their actors to improvise scenes with specific goals, but not specific dialogue, as their guide. In the interview on June 22, 2010, Duplass discusses his relationship with his brother, then and now, ceding control of a film to the actors, the thin line between humor and terror, and why the brothers resisted doing a studio film for so long.
