With a movie set for release and a book on the way, Jason Cook has a lot to celebrate this year.

Getting Creative

In his latest movie, The Creatress, Director/ Writer/Producer Jason Cook blends his love of books and films. The story follows author Eryn Bellow, played by Lindy Booth, whose debut novel is a huge success and faces critical backlash. A zealous critic, played by Peter Bogdanovich, publishes a faux memoir to mock her work. In retaliation, Eryn writes a faux memoir of her own to rewrite the course of her life. “The journey is her trying to follow up her debut with something that’s worthwhile,” explains Cook. “And her agent, who’s played by Fran Drescher, is asking for something fast: ‘Just give me something ’cause I can sell it. It doesn’t have to be wonderful, just get it done.’ And so she’s kind of struggling with the, ‘How do I follow up this huge success with something worthwhile to say?’ And the movie is about going on that journey with her. A lot of people always ask, ‘What does it feel like to write a book? Where do your ideas come from?’ I wanted to try and speak to that curiosity, and I thought it would be fun to show and not tell.”
