‘Eco Village’ Director on Working With ‘Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Always’ Breakout Sidney Flanigan, Why Musicals Have Got a ‘Bad Rap’ (EXCLUSIVE)
Phoebe Nir credits early 2000s teen movies as a major source of inspiration for her epic summer love story ‘Eco Village,’ starring Sidney Flanigan.
Nir’s feature debut is adapted from her eponymous Off-Broadway play and has its world premiere in the Bright Future strand of the International Film Festival Rotterdam. In the film, “Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Always” breakout Sidney Flanigan is Robin, a musician who hitchhikes to the titular village run by Ursula (indie veteran Lindsay Burdge) in search of pastures new. Before “Eco Village” even met its first audiences, Nir had already begun working on a travelogue-style docuseries about Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, long-rumoured to be the true author of the bard’s plays.
