The latest scifi-thriller from Bleecker Street is I.S.S., and director Gabriela Cowperthwaite (Blackfish, Megan Leavey) stops by to talk about making this thriller about personal and political tensions affecting American and Russian scientists aboard the International Space Station during a breakdown of international relations on Earth.
She talks about the the importance of story built around character-driven drama, and getting the actions and reactions of the characters under impossibly stressful conditions, getting the zero gravity effects in a confined space right, and more.
