Dementia at the Movies : Gregor Collins Rodger That

The Father: Anthony (Academy Award Winner Anthony Hopkins) is 80, mischievous, living defiantly alone and rejecting the carergivers that his daughter, Anne (Academy Award Winner Olivia Colman), hires to assist him. Yet help is also becoming a necessity for Anne; she can't make daily visits anymore and Anthony's grip on reality is unraveling. As we experience the ebb and flow of his memory, how much of his own identity and past can Anthony cling to?
 
Supernova: Sam (Academy Award winner Colin Firth) and Tusker (Academy Award nominee Stanley Tucci), partners of 20 years, are traveling across England in their old camper van, visiting friends, family, and places from their past. Following a life-changing diagnosis, their time together has become more important than ever until secret plans test their love like never before.
 
Our guest, Gregor Collins, started his career in Los Angeles, producing reality TV, then later shifted gears to acting, performing on stage, television, and in independent feature films. His writing and acting have been featured in The Los Angeles Times, The Guardian, Huffington Post, Publishers Weekly, Cinema Editor Magazine and many others, as well as on Off-Off Broadway stages across New York.
