Grant Rosenmeyer, 29, has appeared in Wes Anderson’s classic comedy-drama The Royal Tenenbaums, Money Monster with Julia Roberts and George Clooney, the groundbreaking TV show Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and Larry David’s Curb Your Enthusiasm, among other things, but he’s never talked about anything for as long as he’s been chinwagging about his latest film, Come As You Are. And he’s pleasantly surprised.
As the lead and producer of the modest independent feature, which had its première at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas, in February last year, he never imagined it being seen outside the United States, he admits over WhatsApp from his home in coronavirus-locked Los Angeles.
“It’s just too big a dream,” explains Rosenmeyer. “You make a little movie for, like, a million bucks or so, and you don’t know what’s going to happen. You hope anybody sees it. You hope anybody likes it. So it’s definitely encouraging to see that it’s getting a life elsewhere. We’re now in 13 or 14 territories, which is kind of trippy.”
