The cast and crew of Lake George joined us on the red carpet for the film's world premiere Sunday at the SVA Theatre in New York City. We spoke to stars Carrie Coon, Shea Whigham, Max Casella, Keri Safran, Troy Metcalf, and Joey Oglesby about the film and what it was like working with this all star lineup. Directed by Jeffrey Reiner, Lake George is a dark comedy that follows the story of Phyllis (Carrie Coon) and Don (Shea Whigham) and their plot for revenge on a group of mobsters who want Phyllis dead and hired Don to get the job done. This tale of a deviant duo is a thrilling and comedic neo-noir in which Coon and Whigham give masterclass performances. Audiences are sure to be enthralled.

00:00Hi, this is Keri Kuhn and you're watching Life Minute TV.
00:02It's a road picture, it's a neo-noir, kind of in the style of those 70s neo-noir films,
00:12and I play a grifter and a shyster who maybe has a chance to redeem herself.
00:18When we sort of come together in this movie, it's a really beautiful recognition of things
00:23that have been lost, and I think it's something that everybody can relate to, and it is the
00:27best set I have ever been on.
00:29Shea Whigham, who I worked with on Boardwalk Empire, is a great actor.
00:33Keri Kuhn is fantastic.
00:34It's a great cast, great actors.
00:36I've known Keri for a while, and people are going to get a chance to really see her.
00:41I mean, she's one of the, I mean, for me, right there, the top actress is working today.
00:47The very first take that I had on my first day, I was very nervous because Shea and Keri
00:53are who they are, right?
00:55I remember Shea looked at me, and he just goes, hey, just look into my eyes, and from
01:01that moment on, between Shea and Keri, they always had me.
01:06We were able to put together just this incredible cast, two of the best working actors in the
01:09world, and Keri and Shea, and then these amazing character actors.
01:13Shea Whigham should be a leading man.
01:14Don't believe a word that she says.
01:16She's full of...
01:17I'm full of love and admiration for Shea Whigham.
01:20When you make these small films, everybody has to live and work so closely together.
01:25We just had a really, really special time.
