Interview: Director Michelle Danner ('Hello Herman') Christian Toto DENVER, May 13, 2011 — Michelle Danner came across something unusual while auditioning pre-teens for roles in her new film “Hello Herman.”
The actors, most of whom were roughly 13 years of age, looked old enough to be either entering college – or about to graduate. “Hello Herman” director Michelle Danner on the set “Youth has gone so fast, it’s a mirror of how fast our society is,” Danner says. “I see it with my [own] kids.” It’s one of many themes explored in “Hello Herman,” the film version of John Buffalo Mailer’s play about a school shooting. The movie, which stars Norman Reedus, Martha Higareda and newcomer Garrett Backstrom, examines society through the eyes of both a copycat killer, and the journalist who views tragedy as a career enhancer. Danner, an acting coach and Artistic Director at Edgemar Center of the Arts, says even though other films like “April Showers” and “Elephant” have touched on school shootings, the material still needs to be addressed.

Q: What was your favorite part about playing Daryl? A: He’s such a mixed guy. Growing up with a brother like Michael Rooker’s character, you’d imagine he’d have tons of chicks on his shoulder.
