INTERVIEW: Zac Efron & Dennis Quaid Stick With Independent Film ‘At Any Price’

The studios want him, but, these, days Zac Efron only has eyes for indie film.  After making a splash at the New York Film Festival with  The Paperboy last fall , Efron is back in the Big Apple, at the Tribeca Film Festival, with  At Any Price .  What’s the deal? “Y’know, Dennis [Quaid] says that the only rule he sort of had for himself in his career is to do as many different types of movies as possible, and never stop stretching and trying something new,” Efron told when I talked to him about the project. I also talked to Quaid who said that he and At Any Price  director Ramin Bahrani drew inspiration from Arthur Miller’s classic play:  Death of a Salesman . “We talked about Death of a Salesman and the Willy Loman character a lot…[my character] is a man who’s really trying to do the best for his family but he’s corrupted himself in the process,” the actor told me. The buzz on At Any Price is that Efron will get you into the theater, but you’ll leave it talking about Quaid. Check out my full in-depth interview below: Follow Grace Randolph on  Twitter .

Artist-Producer Andrew Levitas on the Art of Getting By in Film

Movie producers routinely say they’re about artistic integrity, but Metalwork Pictures’ Andrew Levitas finds himself in the unique position of actually being an artist himself, having come up through the New York City art scene as a heralded painter, sculptor, and photographer. So when he speaks of box office potential as being almost incidental to a film as work of art, he’s the rare producer who actually sounds genuinely unconcerned with financial returns.
