Paul F. Ryan may not yet be a household
name. But this
September, he'll
be living
the dream of every independent moviemaker when his debut feature, Home Room,
begins its nationwide theatrical run through DEJ Productions, the distribution
arm of Blockbuster. Here, Ryan speaks with MM about the challenges
of working
with an extremely sensitive subject line and what it's like to wear the simultaneous
hats of writer, director,
producer and editor.
