Director Zach Braff dealt with COVID and the loss of dear friend during the making of his new film “A Good Person.”
Characters who never fall down, never have to crawl and struggle to regain their emotional footing, hold little interest for Zach Braff.
“We would say that a lot on ‘Scrubs,’” recalls the 47-year-old South Orange, New Jersey, during a recent interview in San Francisco. “We would say, ‘Don’t do that … . People only do that in the movies… .’ I wanted to make choices where the audience might think ‘oh x-y-z is going to happen.’ I tried to subvert that.”Braff wrote and directed “A Good Person,” which is his most ambitious yet.
“I lost my sister to an aneurysm,” he remembers. “And sitting in the ICU waiting room with my family — and it was as miserable as you can imagine — someone said something that they didn’t even intend to be funny but everyone just starts belly laughing. And there’s tears coming out of your eyes — joyful tears to replace the painful ones.”
“I know people that are still doing cocaine but they don’t want to give up cocaine so they bought fentanyl test strips for their cocaine. I mean that’s what a time ” Cordero’s wife, Amanda Kloots, remains a close friend of Braff’s. She along with Cordero and their baby son Elvis stayed in Braff’s guest house in those agonizing days before he died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
Not only did his anxiety skyrocket from trying to stay true to a strict 26-day shooting schedule, which included filming at his old high school, but he had to stay within the indie feature’s wafer-thin budget, which included expenses from adhering to COVID-19 protocols and testing.
