Its A Small World

Due to be released in January is 10 Minutes Older, a compilation of 10 short stories, each a 10-minute sequence in someone’s life and each segment directed by someone different.  “The directors on it range from the Coen brothers to David Lynch to Spike Lee.  I did one with Wim Wenders, and my story is about a guy who lives out in the desert that accidentally takes mushrooms.  It’s about his journey across the desert and how he starts tripping out.  I save him.  It’s all very visual.  What made it so cool is that when I went in to meet Mr. Wenders for the audition, my dad gave me a picture to take in there of me and Dean Stockwell, who is the star of [Wenders’] Paris, Texas.  Dean is my godfather.” 

“In the picture, he was holding me on the set when I was 1,” she adds.  “I showed Wim, and he laughed and said he was godfather to Dean’s children.  We had this immediate connection.”
