## Resource

Director-producer Jay Silverman joins this episode of the Movies In Focus podcast to discuss his new film Yale . The comedy-drama launches at the Dances With Films film festival on June 18th and it’s a smart, well acted piece that feels like it was lifted straight from the 1990s - and I mean that in a good way. Starring Caitlin McGee and Kevin Dunn , Yale is based on a true story about a troubled author who must confront the deadbeat father who abandoned her as a child in an effort to find a kidney donor for her dying son. It’s a film with good performances and a lot of heart - and it has the potential to be a real crowd pleaser when it reaches an audience. A veteran of film and TV, Jay Silverman joined the podcast to talk about the process of developing Yale with writer Van Billet, the personal connection of cinema, working in the independent film world and much, much more.
