'The Frontier' Interview: Oren Shai, Jocelin Donahue, AJ Bowen and Izabella Miko

It’s tough enough directing a first feature, but Oren Shai decided to go all out and make his first feature a pulpy Western set in the 1970s. The story goes down at a secluded motel/diner on a desert road. Jocelin Donahue plays Laine, a young woman on the run from the law who pulls up to the motel looking for a little refuge before continuing on her way. However, while laying low, she overhears that some of the other guests could have big money coming their way, money that could make all the difference to Laine given her current situation. While in Austin for The Frontier's SXSW world premiere, Shai, Donahue, AJ Bowen and Izabella Miko all sat down to discuss their experience making the film. We ran through how Shai got the green light to make an especially ambitious first feature, the audition/offer process, delivering exposition through subtext, Donahue’s experience working on Terrence Malick’s Knight of Cups with Antonio Banderas and more.
