Academy Award-winning director Sam Mendes on his new film, "Away We Go." From the first original screenplay by novelists Dave Eggers and Vendela Vida, the film tells the story of a longtime couple expecting a baby who set out on a journey to visit friends and family and to evaluate different cities in order to decide where they should put down roots to start their family. "Away We Go" opens Friday, June 5th, at the Regal Union Square and AMC Lincoln Square in New York.

Handsome. Nice accent too!
ps. I realized this decision was probably the screenwriter's, but any info Mr. Mendes can share would be great!
I read that Maya Rudolf's character in this film is a medical illustrator. I'm a medical illustrator myself. Most people have never heard of my profession. How did you discover it, and why did you choose to make it Maya's profession? Thanks!
