“I feel lucky that Viceland wanted to make it, and I'm producing more than one film with LGBT characters and stories and it's because it's what I'm interested in. I'm not going to read a script and say, 'They're not gay, I'm not going to do it,' but I am interested in playing more gay people, because I've only played one gay person, and I've done a fair amount of movies, and I am interested in those stories. So for me, there's no should-I-or-shouldn't-I. It all feels natural.” PeopleFeelsShouldPersonsDoneCharacterStoriesWantedFilmNaturalAmountGayLuckyFairsScriptsLgbtShould IGay People Author:Ellen Page
“I was in a store in Halifax, Nova Scotia that I love, sort of like an environmental friendly sort of store. But they had a great book section. So I went in there all the time. The woman who worked there - which I feel so bad; I've forgotten her name - she handed me the book and she said, "Hey, you should read this. I think it would make a good movie." I remember reading the back of it and I was like, "Huh." Then I just devoured the book and I was so moved by it and said, "Why don't we start developing this into a film?" So that's how it ['Into the Forest'] all started.” ThinkingFeelsShouldSaidBookRememberFilmReadingNamesMovedEnvironmentalForgottenStoresForestsHeyDevelopingFriendlySectionsGood MovieGreat BookHey YouNova ScotiaNovasHalifax Author:Ellen Page
“It's a beautiful book [Into the Forest], so for those who are thinking about reading it, they absolutely should. First and foremost, I just devoured it, as a story.
