From NY Post:
THE old Hollywood cliché for actors used to be: “What I really wanna do is direct.” Nowadays, however, more and more actors are realizing that the real power lies with producing.
Take 25-year-old Anna Paquin. The veteran actress, who won an Oscar at 11 years old for “The Piano,” just co-produced (with her brother Andrew) her first film, the politics-tinged romantic comedy “Blue State,” using the opportunity to cast herself in a role vastly different from her usual dark dramatic fare.
“Blue State,” out Tuesday on DVD, stars Breckin Meyer as John, a liberal campaign worker for John Kerry’s 2004 presidential run who vows to move to Canada if Kerry loses - and winds up keeping his promise.
