Kate Bosworth

And While We Were Here is an indie starring Kate Bosworth as Jane, a writer whose marriage is strained-to-breaking. She is aching to find meaning in her life. Jane accompanies her husband Leonard (Iddo Goldberg) to Italy’s Amalfi Coast paradise where she has decided she will spend the time revisiting a recorded interview she did with her grandmother (narrated by Claire Bloom) and mold the WWII stories into a memoir.

Q&A with Josh Pais: The Sexy TV Character Actor Turned Indie Film Star

Josh Pais

Native New Yorker Josh Pais shines in Showtime’s “Ray Donovan” as creepy rich guy Stu Feldman. He is also starring in writer director Lynn Shelton’s 2013 Sundance Official Selection indie, “Touchy Feely.” Abby, a massage therapist (Rosemarie DeWitt), has a commitment-phobia attack that gushes out sideways. She’s caught the heebie-jeebies and can’t touch other people’s skin—awkward in her line of work. Abby’s brother Paul (Pais) is a sad, uptight, socially inept dentist with a floundering practice. Ellen Page plays his encouraging and emotionally-stunted daughter. The talented cast includes DeWitt’s real-life hubby Ron Livingston, and Allison Janney as the healer who loosens Paul up. “Touchy Feely” is about living in one’s skin, both figuratively and literally.
