REBECCA BRUDER AT TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL

REBECCA AT TRIBECA --- We spotted burgeoning actress Rebecca Bruder at the Tribeca Film Festival last week; there to see the debut of Deadfall, with Eric Bana; Olivia Wilde; Treat Williams; Kate Mara; Charlie Hunnam, Kris Kristofferson; and, Sissy Spacek. The thrill-a-minute epic involves a brother and sister who pull off a casino heist and literally moments later find themselves immersed in a life-or-death chase with the authorities. Written by Zach Dean and directed with propulsive passion by Stefan Ruzowitzky, it had us glued to the screen every step of the way. Bana and Wilde are just outstanding and what great performances are rendered by Kristofferson, Spacek and, Williams; both sorely missed from the big screen. The film is also richly photographed, especially during a white-out snow storm. Special kudos to cinematographer Shane Hurlbut; soon to be much in-demand for his beautiful work onscreen. When this film comes out, we cannot recommend it enough. Bruder let us know she just participated in a reading (The Perfect Wife) at the Abingdon Theatre here in New York, with director Jan Buttram and Kim Sharpe (literary manger at Abingdon), and is in consideration for several new roles as the new TV-season starts filming shortly. Ably guided by manager William Schill, look for her to become a familiar presence on the screen quite soon.
