Making a first feature is a feat in and of itself no matter what, but Christy Hall opted to roll with an especially challenging scenario for her first go-around behind the lens as a director. Her feature debut, Daddio, takes place almost entirely in a moving vehicle focusing on just two characters. 

Dakota Johnson and Sean Penn both produce and headline the film. Johnson plays a woman taking a New York City cab from JFK to Hell’s Kitchen and Penn is her driver. What may seem like surface-level chitchat with a stranger becomes anything but as their small talk evolves into a conversation about far weightier topics bound to make a lasting impression well beyond their flat-rate drive.

In celebration of Daddio’s international premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, Hall visited the Collider media studio at the Cinema Center at MARBL to explain how she went about sustaining a two-hander in a single location for a feature-length film. Check out this TIFF 2023 interview to hear all about her choice to make Daddio a film instead of a play, her collaboration with Johnson and Penn, why she turned to Volume technology to film the movie, and loads more!
