The ensemble reflected on bringing Debora Cahn’s political drama to life and returning to their characters for another season.

Actor and filmmaker Juan Pablo Di Pace (‘Fuller House’) joined us at the Meryl Streep Center in Los Angeles for a screening of ‘Before We Forget’, a semi-autobiographical drama he co-wrote, co-directed and stars in, followed by a conversation about bringing this personal story to the screen.

Inspired by his years at the United World College of the Adriatic in Duino, Italy, the film follows an Argentinian filmmaker struggling to finish a movie about his unrequited first love who gets an unexpected chance to revisit his memories and perhaps find a new ending to his story. Co-directed with Andrés Pepe Estrada, whom Juan Pablo met in high school, the film won the Audience Award for Narrative Feature at NewFest.
