In his blog "The Verge", Movieline's Kyle Buchanan spoke with Keir Gilchrist, one of the stars of Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck's It's Kind of a Funny Story.
The occassion of the interview is the film's premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival this weekend, an event that is particulaly dear for Gilchrist, since Toronto is his hometown. But Gilchrist goes on to talk about the film, working with a directing couple, and his co-star Zach Galifianakis.
There was a considerable deal of improv on the set. Obviously, when you have Zach there, it’s pretty unavoidable, because he loves improv. They gave me a big say in a lot of the scenes, actually. I always had the option to rework lines or rework scenes and the script was constantly changing. They’re very open to whatever will make the film better. They don’t think their words are too important to lose.
