In the short “All Saints Day,” a quietly sad young woman (Mamie Gummer, daughter of Meryl Streep) is heading home in a bedraggled costume the morning after Halloween - and an unsatisfying one-night stand.
Looking for directions, she strikes up a conversation with a charming young man (Benjamin Walker) sipping a cup of coffee on his Manhattan stoop.
Writer Brooke Berman came up with the idea for the plot the old-fashioned way: She and director Will Frears (son of Stephen Frears) stole it from life.
“Will heard this great story from our friend, [actor] Logan Marshall-Green,” says Berman, who is developing an expanded version of the short.
“Logan’s birthday is Nov. 1, and every year on his birthday his favorite thing to do is get up early, make a cup of coffee and go sit on the steps and watch the walk of shame in costume.”
With that seed of an idea, Berman, who was living in L.A. at the time, wrote the first draft in a day - after a little digging for details.
