Interview: Rachel Wolther & Alex H. Fischer – Nobody Nothing Nowhere | 2018 January Screenwriters Lab

Date:

Hopefully co-writer/co-director tandem Rachel Wolther (who produced micro indie gems See You Next Tuesday, Thou Wast Mild and Lovely, and Stinking Heaven) & Alex H. Fischer will consider keeping their excellent working title of Nobody Nothing Nowhere. The description for their lab project they workshopped at the 2018 January Screenwriters Lab and what would become their sophomore film (they first paired on Snowy Bing Bongs Across the North Star Combat Zone) sounds like a zany split universe. I got the chance to speak with the pair on their new project – here’s the logline: Just like everyone she knows, Ruth is a “non-person” in a solipsistic universe built around the only being to truly exist, a congenial Midwestern bachelor named Dave. Tired of serving someone else’s story, she unexpectedly upends the narrative when she has the audacity to demand a life of her own.
