When is a Hollywood story not just a Hollywood story? Russell Brown’s charming and tender Loren & Rose answers that riddle in the same way that all great films about the business do, with captivating performances and a theme — in this case, it’s the love between a director and his mentor — that transcends the context.

Brown, who has a passion for Hollywood history and Los Angeles architecture, wrote the film to share the experiences he has had with some of his mentors. He said, “I’ve worked with a lot of amazing people, and when you’re in those rooms with them, there’s a certain kind of magic that happens when you are listening to their life stories. The movie started as an attempt to capture that feeling, to show what it feels like to be in the presence of somebody like that.”

Jaqueline Bisset is Rose Martin, a unicorn of an actor who made a big impression on Loren (Kelly Blatz), a young filmmaker just out of school obsessed with one role she knocked out of the park in the 1970s. This film is a love letter to unlikely friendships and proper mentorship that knows when to exit the stage gracefully, as Rose does at the end of their series of meals over time.

Kelly Blatz plays ambitious gay director Loren, and opposite him is film bombshell Jacqueline Bisset (who I knew as villainous James in season 4 of FX’s Nip/Tuck), Rose, a reclusive and “notoriously difficult” actress who speaks fondly of her storied career. They first meet at the same restaurant Rose has been frequenting for fifteen years now to discuss a comeback role on the wings of Loren’s various short-film accolades. An instant connection is formed, a bond that bleeds through every second the duo share onscreen together. There is almost a mother/son vibe, only far more crude.

Rose Martin (Jacqueline Bisset) and Loren Bresher (Kelly Blatz) are the title characters in writer/director Russell Brown's engrossing two-hander, "Loren & Rose," about a young up-and-coming filmmaker and the once-famous now troubled actress he is meeting with to possibly cast in his feature debut. The film is having its world premiere at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival on March 3 and 5 and will screen March 25-26 at the Sonoma Film Festival, where Bisset will be honored on the 25th.
