"Puzzle" is a a wonderfully written and beautifully acted independent film starring Kelly Macdonald, Irrfan Khan & David Denman. It was written by Oren Moverman ("The Messenger" & "The Dinner") and directed by business man turned producer/director Marc Turtletaub (He produced "Little Miss Sunshine" which earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Picture & "Loving"). This is Marc's second directed feature and he was kind enough to lend us a few minutes of his time to talk about his new film "Puzzle" which will be released in theaters on July 27th.Check out more on NextBestPicture.comPlease subscribe on...SoundCloud - @nextbestpicturepodcastiTunes Podcasts - itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/negs-…d1087678387?mt=2And be sure to help support us on Patreon for as little as $1 a month at www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture Learn more about your ad choices.

"Leave No Trace" is writer/director Debra Granik's first film since her Oscar nominated 2009 hit "Winter's Bone." The film made its debut at this year's Sundance Film Festival to critical acclaim. It stars Ben Foster as a troubled father to his daughter Tom played by Thomasin McKenzie. They are living off of the land in isolated parts of Oregon and while her father can't seem to re-adjust back into society, Tom might just have a chance to do so.I had the opportunity to talk with Thomasin McKenzie about her work on the film, what it was like working with Ben Foster, her background, her future and more.
