Tribeca Interview: Neil LaBute, Phil Burke, and Gia Crovatin of Dirty Weekend

Neil LaBute returned the Tribeca Film Festival again, in another film starring Some Velvet Morning’s Alice Eve. But in his latest, the often controversial playwright and filmmaker hit the road and made his gentlest, and possibly most crowd-pleasing film. Eve co-stars with Matthew Broderick, as two business travelers stuck in Albuquerque, and find they are in the same city as Broderick’s last "dirty weekend" (out of town sexual affair). LaBute was joined at the festival by actress Gia Crovatin (who plays a mystery woman from Broderick’s past) and actor Phil Burke (as the cabbie Eve and Broderick can’t escape). Lesley Coffin sat down with Neil LaBute, Phil Burke and Gia Crovatin to talk about the new movie.
