A filmmaker’s true life relationship with his son is center stage in a new indie drama in which Michael Cera, Amanda Seyfried, Shannon Sossamon and Jason Ritter either co-star or cameo as heightened versions of themselves. Mark Webber, an indie actor whose biggest credit is playing Stephen Stills in the cult movie “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World,” wrote the script. He also stars in and is directing the untitled film, which is in production in Los Angeles. Webber is producing through his company Poor Rich Kids along with his partners. The movie (with a budget well below $1 million) centers on a struggling single father, an actor played by Webber, raising his two-year-old son after the death of the child’s mother. Because the story so closely mirrors Webber’s own life story, he is using his own two-and-a-half year old son to play the young boy in the film. He said he is taking great pains to shield his son from the rigors of the shoot and conducted tests to see if he could make it as non-invasive as possible. To that end, he is shooting with no crew — just himself, a director of photography and a sound guy — and is using Canon 5D Cameras.
