The prolific actor, producer and filmmaker, whose “Before Sunrise” and “Before Midnight” premiered at the festival (among many others), was back at the festival with “The Weight,” from director Padraic McKinley. Set in Oregon in 1933, Sundance programming describes “The Weight” as a “tense, atmospheric Depression-era crime drama” following a group of “desperate convicts on a perilous journey through a physically and morally treacherous backcountry.”
The script was still a work-in-progress when producers Nathan and Simon Fields (Fields Entertainment) presented it to McKinley, who sent it to Hawke — but there was “something cool about the world of it,” the actor recalled.
