Rocking on City Island in the Bronx with Johnny Legs. 

This shot is from the Groomsmen. We had a great crew and a great cast but had the worst DVD artwork of any film I've made.

Someone out there asked for a photo from Purple Violets. Here's one of me working on the script with Patrick Wilson and Selma Blair in Washington Square Park.

I’ve always just been more attracted to smaller character stories. The first film I saw when I was a film studies minor – and I was not a film buff as a kid – was Billy Wilder’s "The Apartment."

I called up Connie Britton and said, 'You know how I work. The part right now is small, but you tell me what you want to do with it and we'll flesh it out. If we can work out the dates, I would love to have you.' She read the script and said, 'I'm absolutely in.'

There's nothing about this film that is edgy or hip or cool. It is heartfelt. It's emotional. It's honest.

When I was writing The Fitzgerald Family Christmas, I had the moment where I was like, "Okay, what am I going to do with this movie? Am I going to do light and funny, romantic and charming, or am I going to go dramatic and have the big emotional ending? Voila! 'It's a Wonderful Life.' Given that's my favorite Christmas one, I figured let me go for the rocky ground.

"Because the film is about a family reunion, I thought, 'I've done 10 films now. Why don't we make the casting sort of my filmmaking family reunion?' We cast at least one actor from every film." - Ed on The Fitzgerald Family Christmas in The Huffington Post.
