Making a movie with your partner is one thing. Making a movie about a couple on the verge of emotional collapse while traveling abroad? That’s either very brave… or very cinematic. For Brian Crano and David Joseph Craig, longtime collaborators in life and art, I Don’t Understand You is both. The writing-directing duo channels real-life dynamics into a film that’s equal parts existential comedy, cultural confusion, and romantic reckoning.
Hear what they had to say!
Awards Buzz’s Sari Cohen sat down with the creative couple to talk artistic shorthand, emotional translation, and what really happens when two storytellers try to write an argument without starting one in the living room first. I Don’t Understand You is a sharp, soulful exploration of disconnection, identity and tells the story of how a little language barrier can reveal a lot of truth.
I Don’t Understand You is in theaters now.
