Katie Holmes, Alan Cumming, Derek Luke & Julia Mayorga talk perseverance and hope in 'Rare Objects'

Silence on Set

Katie Holmes, who directed, co-wrote with Phaedon A. Papadopoulos, and starred in 'Rare Objects' sat down with her co-stars Julia Mayorga (American Rust), Derek Luke (upcoming in Disney+ series The Crossover), and Alan Cumming (host of hit series The Traitors) to discuss the importance of never giving up, being okay not being okay, and taking things in one day at a time in their latest film. Holmes, who said the story is about friendship, also reiterated the importance of self-discovery. Adding that this project was one, she knew she had to adapt and direct. Meanwhile, Mayorga said while her character goes through a personal tragedy, she enjoyed the freedom, as an actor, to explore the character and watch her find her strength. Meanwhile, Luke and Cumming said they were happy to play characters that were emotional and flawed, with personal problems to overcome -- yet, one trait they were both particularly proud of was the way their characters were supportive of the women in the film. While all of the cast reflected on various themes in the film during the interviews, for me, the most important thing to take away was that it's okay to fall apart; we can glue ourselves back together.
