Henry Alex Rubin is no stranger to filmmaking. He was nominated for an Academy Award for his 2005 documentary Murderball, about paraplegics who compete in full contact rugby. But his first narrative feature, Disconnect, required him to work differently… or did it?
In this CraveOnline Exclusive preview of the Disconnect DVD’s special features, Rubin and co-star Paula Patton (Two Guns) reveal how the director’s experience in a different cinematic medium influenced the production of an ambitious ensemble drama about the impact and failings of modern communication technology, starring Jason Bateman (“Arrested Development”), Alexander Skarsgard (“True Blood”), Michael Nyqvist (Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol), Hope Davis (American Splendor), Frank Grillo (The Grey) and Andrea Riseborough (Oblivion).
Disconnect is now available on DVD and VOD.
