Many stories have their origins in unique places, personal stories, a sense of classic narratives, emotions, or the media that may be prominent in our youth. For writer-director Christy Hall, the origins of Daddio were in fact all of those, beginning when she was a youngster in a small town in Oklahoma. "This story really started to manifest itself a very long time ago," says Hall. "As a kid, there was a show on HBO called Taxicab Confessions that I was way too young to be watching. But I remember I would sneak downstairs in the house and put it on and watch it in the dark. It had these incredible narratives of delicious characters from all over New York who would get in a cab and bare their souls to the cabbie. It captured a quintessential reality of the New York City landscape."

Immediately following the screening, Deadline's chief film critic Pete Hammond, who can also be seen on PBS SoCal's Must See Movies, moderates an in-person Q&A with director/writer Christy Hall.
