Michael J. Reynolds

Michael J. Reynolds sometimes turns up in the credits as Michael Reynolds or Jay Reynolds. He recently took a moment out of a busy schedule to write a brief note to Northern Stars about working with Atom Egoyan on Where The Truth Lies: “Atom is the most generous and gracious of directors. He also is in no doubt whatsoever that what he wants is what he wrote. I have a very bad habit of paraphrasing lines – a word here or a word there. Not this time! To give him his due, Atom is what you might call a multi-dimensional artist and I think his liking for his own words is an expression of his commitment to a very specific artistic vision. Working for Atom was a treat – too short – but it was also ruefully amusing to be directed by someone who was a school friend of my daughter!”
