PODCAST| Angelo Acerbi interviews Mark Blane and Ben Mankoff, directors of the film Cubby.
Mark Blane and Ben Mankoff are thrilled and enthusiast. They wrote, directed and, as for Mark, acted in a fresh unusual and funny feature film with a weird lead character in New York, babysitting on a kid that sometimes looks his age and dreaming of a “Leather-man” who can steal his heart. A quirky film with purity, though. They tell us all about it.
Cubby: In this coming of age dramedy shot on 16mm, a misanthropic gay artist finds hope and self-discipline through his friendship with a sensitive 6 year old, Milo, and the adult superhero “Leather-man” who is conjured from a psychedelic cupcake.
