In ‘The Easy Kind,’ Country Music Favorite Elizabeth Cook Plays Herself — or Does She? — in a Docudrama That Splits the Difference
Country music's Elizabeth Cook talks about playing 'EC' in a semi-documentary, semi-fictional film, 'The Easy Kind,' which premiered at Telluride.
That filmmaker is Katy Chevigny, whose filmography consists of documentaries, many of them award-winning (including “Deadline,” which she co-directed with Kirsten Johnson, and such Sundance and SXSX-debuting films as “E-Team” and “Election Day”). Ironically, although Cook has chafed at some fans’ interest in her personal life, she relished the chance to do some decidedly flirty scenes in “The Easy Kind,” including several with a re-simmering old flame played by the “Nashville” TV series’ Esten. The romantic elements are only a minor part of the film, though, against the overriding themes of what it’s like to be an artist in mid-career, facing the prospects of the ongoing exhilaration of creating art juxtaposed with the grind of how to keep afloat.
