‘Reality’ Star Sydney Sweeney & Writer-Director Tina Satter Give Voice To Unsettling Case Of Reality Winner Deadline FYC House + StreamOnMax Full interview here:
, which debuted on May 29, uses the exact same words as the play — and both use the exact same words of the actual Reality Winner: The dialogue for the screenplay, co-written by Satter and James Paul Dallas also is taken directly from the transcript of the first conversation-slash-interrogation between FBI agents and an unsuspecting, at least initially, Winner.
“I did not see the play,” Sweeney says, “and I didn’t even know Reality’s story until the script was sent to me. I never read anything ever quite like it before. It was a real moment in someone’s life, and I was completely intrigued. I literally called my team and I said: ‘This cannot be someone’s actual experience. How did this happen?’ It completely blew me away. and I started doing research.
Satter says that when she first read news accounts of Winner’s arrest, her response was mixed. “I saw that she had taken this idealistic stance, but the ‘good girl’ part of me was, ‘Yeah but she broke the law.’ That’s what really drew me to the story, because I didn’t have a clear answer myself [about Winner’s actions].”
“I looked at it as a coming-of-age story for her character,” she adds. “When people watch this film, it shows that she is a person, a human being, and not a left-right headline. She is a human being who went through a very difficult moment.”
