Meet the Filmmakers: Director Nicole Holofcener and Actors Catherine Keener, Amanda Peet, Rebecca Hall, and Oliver Platt, “Please Give”-

The writer-director of “Friends with Money” discusses her new dramatic comedy, which follows a couple (Catherine Keener and Oliver Platt) patiently waiting for their elderly next-door neighbor to pass away so they can expand their own apartment. But unexpected relationships with the neighbor’s granddaughters (Amanda Peet and Rebecca Hall) complicate their plans.

Meet the Filmmaker: Ed Burns, “Nice Guy Johnny”-

The accomplished actor and director (“Purple Violets,” “The Brothers McMullen”) talks about his new romantic dramedy, “Nice Guy Johnny.” The film follows Johnny, a baby-faced 24-year-old who’s about to trade his dream job for something that will pay enough to please his fiancée. Enter Uncle Terry (Burns), a womanizer set on instigating an eye-opening fling for his nephew.

Meet the Filmmaker: Thomas Balmès, “Babies”-

Award-winning filmmaker Thomas Balmès discusses his latest documentary, “Babies.” The film simultaneously follows four babies around the world—from birth to first steps. Redefining the nonfiction art form, “Babies” joyfully captures on film the earliest stages of the journey of humanity that are at once unique and universal to us all.
