Close Quarters movie debuts

In Close Quarters, a form invented at iO, scenes are improvised around a single place and time. In Close Quarters the movie, opening Saturday 12 at the Gene Siskel Film Center, the cast (including Bill Arnett, Noah Gregoropoulos, Gregory Hollimon, Bruce Jarchow, Holly Laurent, Linda Orr and David Pasquesi) plays characters whose lives overlap at a coffee shop. We sat down with director Jack Newell and cast and, similarly to both Close Quarters the form and film, broke them into pairs for simultaneous interviews.
