Festival Interviews & Announcements:
Nick Frangione and Actor James Le Gros on KUSI News, San Diego.
“Grief runs throughout the film - what do we do when, as if with the snap of a finger, we lose someone who was vital to our very existence? What happens when life demands of us that we change? Buck Run doesn't choose sides, it is as authentic a portrayal of these experiences as could be mustered by myself and a cast and crew of incredible artists from literally around the world.'“

"The inspiration for the film: Frangione draws on childhood memories of growing up an outsider in rural Pennsylvania for this affecting drama."
“Everything started for me with my mother, Danna Frangione, she was a dancer and choreographer. I grew up in the stage wings, and I knew from an early age that I’d spend my life in the performing arts.”
