It was a chilly windy -which made it even chillier- day in May in Ann Arbor when we shot the final scenes of the film. The film wrapped in March, but the last few scenes with the children were postponed due to school and the weather. It was called "The Spring Shoot".
The film tells the true story of a young woman whose brother is convicted of murder and who puts herself through Law school, passes the bar and fights to have him released. In our story there are only two children of the mother...but in real life the mother had 9 children with 7 men and who'd bring them home to stay with her father and look after the children while she went out clubbing and drinking and whatever. She evidently liked whatever.
The film's due to be released toward the end of the year and there was talk on the set of an Oscar contention.
