“They call it the autism spectrum for a reason because it is a wide spectrum of behaviors and abilities…I think this film does a lot to open people’s eyes to the reality of what it’s like to raise a kid like Po.” – Christopher Gorham
IMTA alum Christopher Gorham’s 20 year career has included many memorable characters on some of television’s most popular shows, such as “Ugly Betty’s” boyfriend Henry Grubstick and “Covert Affairs’” blind CIA handler Auggie Anderson. He has had starring roles on “Jake 2.0,” “Harper’s Island” and “Medical Investigation,” and many featured appearances on series such as “The Magicians,” “Two Broke Girls” and “Once Upon a Time” among many others. Gorham has also branched out into the other side of the camera, directing several episodes of “Covert Affairs,” the short Gamechangers comedies, and the recently released We Love You, Sally Carmichael! But in the independent feature A Boy Called Po, Gorham takes on a role unlike most of his previous work; a role that it is both deeply personal and relatable to his own life.

“This business is so unstable, and you never really know where you’re going to be … My child is the most important person to me, and her upbringing is paramount to my work right now.” – Katie Holmes
IMTA alum Katie Holmes is having a very good year career wise. As she has added to the complexity of her résumé with directing and producing projects (All We Had, Touched with Fire) that have enhanced her star-power in Hollywood, her acting roles reflect a variety and depth sure to please her fans.
In the Steven Soderbergh-directed caper comedy Logan Lucky, brothers Jimmy and Clyde Logan set out to reverse a family curse by executing an elaborate robbery during the legendary Coca-Cola 600 race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Holmes is in the role of Jimmy’s ex-wife, who plans to take their daughter and, with her new husband, move far away from Jimmy—triggering the Logan brothers’ robbery plan as a means to fund a lawyer to keep his daughter near. In a statement oddly reflective of Jimmy’s motivation for the robbery, Holmes recently said about herself in an interview with People magazine, “I think the most important thing in my life is giving my child the childhood I want her to have. That comes first. That dictates where I work and when I work because it’s my main job right now.” In addition to Holmes, the film also stars Channing Tatum, Daniel Craig, Adam Driver, Seth McFarlane, Sebastian Stan, Hilary Swank and Riley Keough.

“Whenever I’m not working I like to capitalize on that time by spending it with the people I love, traveling, working on music. Being able to just step back and enjoy all the things life has to offer.” – Joseph David-Jones
A police raid in 1967 resulted in one of the largest citizen uprisings in United States' history, with riots that lasted five days, an event that brought into focus the systemic racism that was present during those times in urban Detroit. The telling of that period comes to the screen in the feature Detroit, directed by Oscar-winner Kathryn Bigelow. Detroit stars John Boyega, Kaitlyn Dever, Anthony Mackie, John Krasinski, and IMTA alum Joseph David-Jones.
“Detroit tells the story of one of the most horrifying events that took place during the 1967 Rebellion in Detroit,” said David-Jones. “An incident which took place at the Algiers Motel changed the lives of everyone unfortunate enough to be involved in it. In the film, I play Morris, a Musician who winds up getting caught in all the chaos of the rebellious activity happening around him. Morris finds himself being affected in more ways than one by the events that took place on those tragic days.”

“I think that she believes that when she commits that crime and she's in prison, now she's almost safe… There's a relief. It's easier to be here than it is to live in the real world.” – Jessica Biel
On a beautiful summer day at the beach, a young mother—who appears to be living the perfect life with her loving husband and son—suddenly and inexplicably stabs a man to death. The shocking scene kicks off the USA Network’s limited summer series “The Sinner,” starring IMTA alum Jessica Biel. The subsequent investigation into what happened, and why an ordinary person would do something so out of the ordinary, are the heart of the series that is adapted from Petra Hammesfahr’s book of the same name.
“When I read the book, every step of the way for me was a shock,” said Biel. “I feel like nothing can shock me anymore. There’s nothing too weird, nothing too dark. We’ve all seen it all in a sense, the way we’re exposed and have access to everything. But every time there was a surprise in the book, it was a genuine surprise for me. It just felt incredibly rare to find a piece of material where you didn’t expect every twist and turn along the way. That felt incredibly rare. I wanted to play (Cora) and be a little nuts.”
