"Harris Dickinson's characters are demarcated by specific class consciousnesses: Coney Island's Frankie in Beach Rats, who cruises for older men on a webcam site; a particular brand of selfishness and vulnerability as a model and influencer in Triangle of Sadness; most recently, a supremely confident intern who casts a domineering spell over a tech CEO in Babygirl. Urchin, the film Dickinson chose as his feature directorial debut vehicle (he's directed shorts before, as early as 2013), stars Frank Dillane ( Fear the Walking Dead)"
"Filmmaker: I saw that you curated a screening series for the Roxy Cinema in New York. Usually, filmmakers are invited to be a festival's guest artistic director-for example, Guillermo Del Toro at AFI Fest later this month-so it's great to see your standalone series. Were you always interested in curation, and do you think filmmakers might try curating either as a part of their preparation or more generally pursue it?"
Harris Dickinson embodies characters shaped by class consciousness across films, from a cruising teen in Beach Rats to an influential model in Triangle of Sadness and a commanding intern in Babygirl. Urchin serves as Dickinson's chosen feature directorial debut and stars Frank Dillane as a homeless addict attempting rehabilitation after a jail stint. Dickinson experienced pre-premiere anxiety at Cannes but felt reassured by early audience response. Dickinson curated a Roxy Cinema screening series in New York, treating curation as an extension of preparation by showing the cast and crew films that revealed the essences of characters.
