We recently had an opportunity to catch up with Dominique Schilling (writer/director) and Caroline Risberg (producer)to discuss their new movie, A Reason, starring Marion Ross (Mrs. Cunningham from Happy Days). See what they had to say about working with a Hollywood legend, their biggest obstacle for this film and what they have in store next. What was the most memorable moment for you while making “A Reason”? Dominique: That’s a hard question. There are so many memorable moments, like when I first drove on to set or when we shot the driving scene with Magda Apanowicz and Nick Eversman.

When you think about someone like Marion Ross, I suspect your mind is immediately taken back to memories of watching Happy Days on television. What you may not know is that Ross has been in show business since the mid-1950s and is showing no signs of stopping. Her latest role, in director Dominique Schilling’s A Reason, is a departure of sorts. Ross plays Aunt Irene, an elegant, yet villainous woman dying of pancreatic cancer. Well aware of her impending death, she calls her family together for a reading of her will.

Ross sat down with CinemaNerdz to chat about her experience with the movie, the differences between acting for TV versus movies, and her oddest jobs.
