So he would just sit off to the side and film us and Isaac was aware of the iPhone that could record things and take pictures and eventually it got to the point where Patrice didn’t really exist which is what I wanted to have happen, almost like you have this documentary similar to Cinema Verité style and that’s what happened. It was basically Patrice coming over for about a few weeks and making videos of us. Mark: Basically, my DP (Director of Photography) Patrice (Cochet), is a dad as well and he has spent time with me and my son in the whole rehearsal period. How did you get that extraordinary performance out of him? I didn’t have a crew and we made it for such a small budget, that I was able to extend it over a lot of time to protect him and also to be able to get the performances I needed. So our days were short and it was all built around him – his moods and his rhythm. Mark: He was two-and-half throughout, but we spread it out over about two and half months because our shooting days with my son would be a half hour and that was it. How long was the shoot and did you shoot, as he got older? How old was Isaac when you started shooting? I had just become a father and my days were spent with this little boy, my son, and I became fascinated with the idea of making a movie with the most realistic father/son portrayal because that was my reality being a dad. Mark: I was a new dad when I started the writing process. Webber recently sat down with your reporter for an exclusive interview and the following has been edited for content and continuity for print purposes. ![]() One very poignant scene is the Webber character auditioning for a role while Isaac is romping around the room.Īlthough there was a scripted outline, much of the action was improvised by everyone, including the supporting roles by Shannyn Sossamon, Jason Ritter, Amanda Seyfried, and Michael Cera, all of who played themselves. Shot in the Cinema Verité style of filmmaking, we witness, in exquisite up-close detail, the every day challenges the dad, a struggling actor, is facing, ranging from trying to get a handle on the profound loss of his wife to financial difficulties to just plain physical exhaustion. His character tends to the every day needs of his two-year-old son Isaac, played by Webber’s amazing real life son Isaac Love whose performance could stand as an acting lesson on spontaneity and moment-to-moment reality. Mark Webber, a talented young filmmaker, writes, directs, and stars in his latest film, “The End of Love.” It is a semi-biographical, beautifully crafted story about the struggles of a widower father, played by Webber.
