...and there are more cast and crew interviews on the official website.
"The cast of THE WHOLE TRUTH take tremendous risks and extend themselves further than I had ever imagined possible. Creating a safe environment in which Actors can fully experience themselves 'out of the box', takes a great deal of trust between them and their Director and clearly Colleen is a master at creating this safe environment and bond."
Russell Boast, Casting/ Director, Pagano/Manwiller, Inc.
"It's an uncommon comedy. I had a lot of fun. I was thrilled to see a U.S. comedy so extreme (well you’re the country that invented political correctness, right ;-), really edgy... and I can see why people can love or hate it. It’s just not what you can expect nowadays from a common comedy – or a festival film... it’s bolder and riskier."
Uwe Lützen, former marketer, English speaking films for Europe

Notes from pros who have worked with Colleen
"I thoroughly enjoyed working with Colleen on MORTAL WOUND and I am truly glad to have met her.
I found her to have a very detailed, focused and consistent vision for her film from pre-production through post-production.
Colleen's enthusiasm is extremely infectious - she truly loves what she does and I found myself driven further by her vibe.
I also found her to be an excellent communicator, mixing solid direction and constructive feedback with humor and fun.
I sincerely enjoyed working with Colleen and hope I get many more chances
to do so in the future. It was a pleasure."
-Dave Chick, Composer, Hatched Productions
