Exclusive: In a filmmaking strategy that must have given her a sense of déjà vu when she watched the recent Emmy Awards to see cameras in the home of every nominee, Stephanie Laing has managed to direct Shoot the Rooster, an indie feature based on loss in her own life that she co-wrote with Brad Morris. She accomplished the mission by sending around 23 cameras to the homes of her cast so that they could set up the scenes under her direction and shoot safely as Covid-19 shut down the business. The shoot covered five states and the drama stars Henry Winkler, Margo Martindale, Elsie Fisher, Judy Greer, June Squibb, Casey Wilson, Tim Simons, Sam Richardson, Scott MacArthur, Ann Dowd, Zoe Chao and Billy Magnussen.
The story centers on a family matriarch (Squibb) who wants to reunite her family before she passes. Laing, who produced the film with Alex Saks and Peter Odiorne,...
