PODCAST | Chiara Nicoletti interviews Chloë Sevigny and Charlie Plummer, actors of the film Lean on Pete.

Andrew Haigh presented his latest film, Lean on Pete, in competition at the 74th Venice International Film Festival. Two of the actors in the film, Chloë Sevigny and Charlie Plummer (FRED also interviewed Sevigny on her short film Carmen from this year’s MIU MIU Women’s Tales, also presented in Venice this year), stopped by our Venice studio to talk about working on the film. During this interview, they share with us their experience of working on the movie and how they connected with their characters.

Lean on Pete follows fifteen-year-old Charley Thompson. He wants a home, food on the table and a high school he can attend for more than part of the year. As the son of a single father working in warehouses across the Pacific Northwest, stability is hard to find. Hoping for a new start they move to Portland, Oregon, where Charley takes a summer job, with a washed-up horse trainer, and befriends a failing racehorse named Lean on Pete.
