Movie Family weekend

SY: Another main relationship the film focuses on is the one between Samantha and her husband, Duncan, like you mentioned. Matthew Modine portrayed Duncan in the film, so what was it like working with him?

KC: Matthew perfectly plays Duncan as a dear, kind man who loves his family and wants to have fun and focus on his art. We were constantly tied to a chair, and Matthew made it bearable for me, because I’m not very good at sitting still. He would talk with me and we would laugh. We had many meals together, and he’s a special guy. I’d love to work with him again, too.

SY: Like you mentioned, Samantha and Duncan are tied to the chairs for most of the movie. What was that process like as an actress-did that prove difficult while you were shooting?

KC: Yes, because you don’t realize how much you need to move your hair or scratch. (laughs) You need your hands! We didn’t have them for quite a while while shooting.

When I was watching the movie (at the New York premiere on March 21), it all came flooding back to me. I realized I really was tied to the chair for a long time. But it’s funny and a great premise I haven’t seen before. I’m really proud of it; it’s almost like the little engine that could. It’s a gem.
