I love how beautifully and simply Wendy Mass (the author) illustrated the power we have to choose to be joyful, even in the face of great loss. Why did you decide to make this film?When I read Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life, I was deeply moved by the message, namely that each day is precious and it’s up to us to celebrate that gift. Q&A WITH TAMAR HALPERN, WRITER AND DIRECTOR What is the true meaning of your life? Do you take the time to recognize the meaning of your life? The people and things in it? This is a movie that can spark some interesting conversations with the family! While it isn’t a sit-on-the-edge-of-your-seat movie, it does make you sit back and really think about the message behind the story. The story itself is a powerful one that everyone can resonate with. While at first, I thought the movie was starting out kind of slow, as the story unfolded it really drew me in. Some of the other characters have such fun eccentric personalities that it makes you wonder what will happen next. The movie has a wonderful cast, including Ryan Simpkins (Lizzie) and Maxwell Beer (Jeremy Fink) who seem to have a great connection and chemistry in their roles. The adventure ensues as Jeremy and his best friend Lizzie must search high and low through Manhattan, meeting some wacky characters along the way, to follow the clues that will lead them to find the four keys which will unlock the secrets of Jeremy’s box in time for his thirteenth birthday. The box contains a mysterious box with the words “The Meaning of Life – for Jeremy Fink to open on his 13 birthday.” carved into the lid. The movie starts out with Jeremy Fink receiving a package in the mail. Based on Wendy Mass’s children’s novel, Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life is a fun family-friendly adventure movie written and directed by Tamar Halpern and featuring Academy Award® winner Mira Sorvino and Emmy Award® winner Joe Pantoliano. What is the meaning of life? Do you know? It is an age old question and the one that Jeremy Fink is trying to answer in the upcoming movie Jeremy Fink and The Meaning of Life.
