Mark Webber: The Prince of Sundance ELLE Mark Webber: The Prince of SundanceJanuary 25 2:31 PMby Irina Aleksander 0 Comments Photo: Getty Images If you spotted a blotchy face and smudged mascara around Park City this week, it was safe to assume that a screening of The End of Love had probably just let out. The film stars Mark Webber, who also wrote the screenplay and directed, as a struggling actor trying to raise his two-year-old son after the death of his wife. Inspired by his split with actress Frankie Shaw and featuring their real-life three-year-old son, the film is only semi-autobiographical; not only is Shaw alive and well, but she too appears in the film. But End of Love is not the only reason that Webber's name karen millen outlet online has become ubiquitous around the festival. The actor appears in two other feature films this week: Save the Date with Allison Brie and Lizzy Caplan; and For a Good Time, Call... with Ari Graynor and Lauren Ann Miller. And though all have been well received, it's Webber's directorial entry into the competition that has Sundance audiences buzzing. Amidst a hectic schedule of promoting three films herve leger sale within three days, Webber took a few minutes to talk to Elle.com. ELLE: How did the idea for The End of Love come about? MW: As a director and actor, I really like to strip everything away. I wanted to create the ultimate environment for myself to give the best performance that I could herve leger sale give. karen millen online Also, I had recently become a dad and I was at the end of this relationship with the mother so it became about writing about the death of this relationship. I'm fascinated with relationships in general and how people act when they're most vulnerable. ELLE: Was it difficult drawing on such personal experiences? MW: Only in a good way. When you put yourself out http://kmoutlet365.co.uk/ there I think you're able to get rid of that awareness that actors have sometimesthat consciousness that you can see. Then audiences are able to connect with your character better because they're seeing real emotions. As an artist, I kind of get off on that. Also, it's not really me. This guy is in a much darker place. ELLE: Had herve leger dress sale you always intended to write, direct and star in it? MW: I did. That was the intention from the beginning. My first film [Explicit Ills] I just directed and didn't act in it. This time I really wanted to create an opportunity for myself. ELLE: First time you came to Sundance was in 2002 for Todd Solondz' Storytelling. Does it feel different this time around? MW: This time is totally different. I've only been here as an actor and never as a filmmaker. As a filmmaker, it's what you want to be here as. You're engaging with people and talking about your worksomething that you createdso there's more of a responsibility. I really like that.

The film, which was also written by Mills, follows Oliver (Ewan McGregor) as he deals with the recent death of his father and falls for the lovely Anna (Mélanie Laurent). But it is Oliver's father Hal, shown in flashbacks throughout the film, that shapes the http://kmoutlet365.co.uk/ story. Hal, who comes out to his son at 75 and enjoys just four years as an openly gay man before succumbing to cancer, is played with delightful enthusiasm by Christopher Plummer. For Mills, the story was an echo of his own father, who came out after the death of his wife and passed away four years later. According to Mills, a linear story was never an option. He sat down to write just six months after his father passed away and began to tell his story in pieces: "When you're in that place it's hard to stay in the present, these unfinished conversations or karen millen outlet online memories or images come to you." After working in that heightened emotional state, Mills was confronted with a few surprises when he revisited his material years later. "The grief isn't all bad...there's an intensity. When I see the film I'm like `Whoa' I was sort of drunk. I'm not that brave all the time." For Mills the accidental outsourcing of an international cast was a fitting choice for the film. "I didn't surprise me in that my family didn't fit into the American box neatly. Christopher is so my dad and so right to be a museum director born in 1924. Ewan and I come from really different places and paths through life...He's so Scottish and I'm so Californian. I guess on some deeper level we share some frequencies." As for the captivating Mélanie herve leger sale Laurent as Anna, Mills picked her after seeing her on a talk show talking animatedly in French. About what, he doesn't know since he doesn't herve leger sale karen millen outlet speak the language. herve leger sale "I was like she seemsnot precious and really smart...and kind of wild." For Laurent, working with Mills in one of her first English speaking roles was ideal, "Everything was built on freedom, which is super rare." Although she had a difficult time believing a few of her character's decisions, "I was like asking Mike `Why isn't she in love with Ewan?'" In an odd twist of fate for a film about falling in love, Mills' wife (director Miranda July) has her own film, The Future, coming out in just a few short weeks. Although the two work in similar fields and both come from a fine arts background, Mills insists they keep things separate. "We're pretty separate. Way more separate than people might think. It's like `Oh wow you're so alien to me.' We say that back and forth" Beginners opens tomorrow.

What's your favorite film about amour? ML: Bridges of Madison County. It's so frustratingughwhen Meryl Streep doesn't open the door and leaves Clint Eastwood out in the rain.

ELLE: Ewan McGregor has a little dog in the film that communicates to him in subtitles. Can we talk about how adorable that dog is? ML: He was not that adorable, because he hated me! He was jealous of my relationship with Ewan. But you know what? I don't care because I'm herve leger outlet a cat person. ELLE: You are? Okay, be honest, how many cats do you have? ML: Just one.

How many Fashion Weeks have transpired without this reliably boozy and rowdy dark hole as its go-to after-after-party cheap karen millen spot? The West Village club once primarily associated with the Misshapes is responsible for putting the lower West Side highway (and, for that matter, fog machines) back on the fashion map again, ever since slipping into the magic hands of new owners Nur Khan and Paul Sevigny last fall. This being winter, fur, in all variations, abounded last nightfake, real, karen millen outlet armless, capes, white mink, the http://herve-outlet.com/ tan mink Chloe Sevigny wore while chatting with a woman who looked very much like her mother (we didn't have the audacity to ask, and Paul was nowhere to be found).

"He said he had been there before and shot some footage for a one-hour show Margaux was going to make [in the 1970s]." The resulting find was 43 hours of raw footage and five hours of audio tape of Margaux speaking. This remarkable footage puts a new, realistic face on the mental illness that has plagued the Hemingway family for generations and was seen in a special screening of Running from Crazy at the Tribeca Film Festival yesterday. Kopple and Mariel cheap herve leger Hemingway discussed the film after the showing. "It was interesting to me," Hemingway said of the first time she saw the footage. "I saw all of these things and thought, I wasnt making it upour kitchen really was that ugly." She added, "Its shocking to see my family karen millen outlet online and see http://herve-outlet.com/ how sad and depressed my mother was...I have so much compassion for my sister [Margaux].

"My family is crazy, why would I want to make a movie about this? Ive been running from this my whole life," she said, but on closer examination, it helped her heal. "Ive gone full circle now and embraced herve leger sale my family and who I am."

MAC Fabulousness Holiday Collection Liz Goldwyn Interview ELLE Exclusive: Liz Goldwyn on Her Holiday Collection for MACOctober 24 4:30 PMby Jillian Kirby 0 CommentsPhoto: MAC CosmeticsFashion icon, writer, and director, Liz Goldwyn, has collaborated with MAC Cosmetics to create three lingerie-inspired beauty bags for the holidays. Her collection, Fabulousness, hits stores today, and will be available through December 20. The beauty loot retail from $39.50 to $49.50, and contain eye makeup, beauty brushes and lip products. ELLE.com chatted with Goldwyn about her signature red lip, creative process, and relationship with MAC.ELLE: You have some history with MAC. How did this particular collaboration come about? Liz Goldwyn: Ive had a longstanding relationship with John Demsey and MAC. He and I were in L.A. during Oscar week, and we were speaking about cosmetic bags. I asked him why MAC wasnt making any at the time, to which he replied, Why dont you do it? Later, he put me in touch with MACs wonderful Creative Director James Gager. The rest is history! ELLE: What was the creative process like?LG: I began by going through my own karen millen outlet online collection of lingerie to find the right blend of nets and laces. I had to source modern fabrics but wanted to capture that vintage feeling. I located herve leger sale a pair of herve leger outlet treasured 1950s leopard-print under garments to reference, and I sent them to MAC to have the pattern updated. It was quite funny because I originally bought them on eBay when I was 17 or 18they probably cost $6! ELLE: How did you bring your designs to life?LG: I made pen and ink sketches with watercolor, because I wanted the MAC bags to have a very specific pastel, lingerie-like quality with underlays of silk and overlays of the net and lace. As I was working on the sketches, I drew all the makeup inside the bags in order to envision how it would look. Once we created prototypes, I used the bags myself in order to road test them. I travel a lot and wanted to carry them around to get a sense of what worked and what herve karen millen leger sale didnt. ELLE: Can you talk herve leger sale about your signature look? Were obsessed with your red lipstick! LG: Thanks! Red lipstick has been my beauty staple for years. I show up to pilates or yoga at 8 a.m. wearing my red lipstick. The truth is, unless I have a meeting or an event, I can be a bit lazy about makeup, but I feel like a slick of red lipstick is enough to hide my under-eye circles. ELLE: What do you carry in your own MAC bags? LG: In the brush bag, I have mineral powder, three different kinds of mascara, an eyelash curler, a mascara brush, and several eye pencils. In the hanging bag, its sunscreen, a sewing kit, essential oils ,and my hair brush. I try to keep the clutch fairly streamlined: my cell phone, credit card, cash, and lipstick. I firmly believe a lady should switch her bag at night! Photo: MAC CosmeticsPhoto: MAC CosmeticsPhoto: MAC Cosmetics
