The Storytellers

Director: Jelly Helm
Filmmaker in person
This intimate film follows seven company members of the Oregon Shakespeare festival from the moment the curtain falls to the moment it rises again the next day:  Six actors - John, a rising young star; veteran Dee, discovering her greatest roles; intense, complex Jonathan; Charles, a soft-spoken grandfather; Greta, who embraced her gift after 16 years as an accountant; and Michael, the father of two teens looking back on his days of playing leads - plus the stage crew captain, Tommy, changes sets and "people, every day." (2006, 28 min.)
