From KCRW Santa Monica and KCRW.com, it's The Treatment.

Welcome to the treatment. I am thrilled to have an old acquaintance, I like to say friends,

or Mr. Jones, who I've known since her first moving, Breaking Upwards.

In 2009, I met her at the South by Southwest Film Festival, and she's written and been in a few movies since then.

Of course, we had no her from the show Life and Pieces. be about the hard work of love, be it breaking upwards or lower verses or consume, which is also

about the love affair of a mother and his son, but also the work it takes to keep the boy alive.

And your new film is writer-director, Band-Aid. First of all, you have such a great way with titles.

Oh, thank you. Talk about where Band-Aid came from, because it certainly fits where the movie is.

Yeah.

Well, you know, it's a story of a couple who can't stop fighting,

and so they decide to turn all their fights into songs and start a band.

And I don't know, I don't remember the exact moment when the title came to me,

but it just felt apt when it did that a band was coming to a couple's aid, and that that is obviously a sort of moniker that we're all familiar with but that it's a play on that and there's this often kind of

almost a brutal honesty in these relationships that you write yeah i mean i mean, I always, my favorite films, I think,

capture the authenticity of relationships,

and that is often brutal.

And what are some of those films as Casavetti's for you?

Cassavetti is definitely an influence, yeah.

Because I can see up just between breaking upwards and this,

you can really see the feel of Casavetti's.

Yeah, yeah, I mean, especially in this film because we shot all handheld, and I definitely watched a lot of Casabettis and also Woody Allen's husbands and wives was a big influence because I think there's something about just the visual aesthetic that lends itself.

You like those of the handheld masters and husbands and wives?
