ONE ON ONE WITH STEPHEN MOYER ABOUT HIS NEW DRAMA, A BIT OF LIFE ( AND MUCH MORE! )

Stephen Moyer gets behind the camera to showcase his fabulous wife Anna Paquin in the moving new drama, A Bit if Light.

A Bit of Light, directed by Stephen Moyer from a screenplay by Rebecca Callard—based on her Bruntwood Prize-nominated play of the same name. The film stars Academy® Award winner Anna Paquin [True Blood, X-Men, Flack)], Bafta-Award Nominee Ray Winstone [Damsel, The Gentlemen,The Departed, Black Widow], Pippa Bennett-Warner [Gangs Of London, See How They Run], BAFTA nominee Youssef Kerkour [Home], and in his big screen debut Luca Hogan. 

Moyer, who can currently be seen in Paramount +’s Sexy Beast, the final two episodes of which he directed, also helmed several episodes of True Blood as well as Amazon Prime Video’s Flack, starring Paquin and executive produced by the pair.  He made his feature directing debut with The Parting Glass, also produced by Moyer and Paquin.

A Bit of Light unfolds as an intimate story about a recovering alcoholic named Ella (Paquin). A series of tough breaks forces Ella to move back in with her father Alan (Winstone), while her daughters are under the care of her ex-husband Joseph (Kerkour) and his new partner Bethan (Bennett-Warner).

Mired in guilt, Ella finds herself in fights with Joseph and Bethan about the kids and Alan over AA meetings. However, an unlikely friendship with Neil (Hogan) opens her eyes to taking responsibility and making the changes she needs to make.

I had the wonderful opportunity to chat at length with Moyer about A Bit of Light, what still surprises him about his wife Anna Paquin, working on Sexy Beast, directing his hero Ray Winstone and why he and Anna can’t helm their own True Blood podcast.
