Exclusive: For Howard Ford Directing Never Let Go Was a Personal and Terrifying Experience
We’ve all heard stories about directors and stars saying that a film had a personal meaning to them. For many of these stories, it’s something minor, something that seems so incidental as to be almost negligible. But when it comes to Never Let Go, which follows a single mother as she searches for her abducted child in a foreign city, director/producer Howard J. Ford (The Dead, The Dead 2: India) has a connection that is all too real and all too terrifying.
Below is an exclusive clip where he tells of the time that his son nearly drowned in a pool and the thoughts that went through his head. While the video cuts off before we get a resolution, Ford assures us that his son is, thankfully, alive and well. But it was this experience that inspired him to make Never Let Go.
The award-winning Never Let Go stars Angela Dixon and was shot on location in Morocco and Spain. It is out now on DVD.
Synopsis:
A single mother desperately searches for her missing child in a beautiful, but unfamiliar land, following an apparent abduction. Trusting no one, and stopping at nothing, as she weaves her way through the murky backstreets and barren landscapes, now implicated in the murder of a seemingly innocent man, her connections back in the US begin to reveal that there is much more at stake than first meets the eye.
