Producer Jasmine McGlade Chazelle arrived at the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival for the premiere of “Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench.” It was a heady experience that would lead to a Gotham Award nomination later that year. But when she left Tribeca, she also carried with her the seeds of her next film, “Maria My Love.”
“At the premiere, I ran into a girl from high school I hadn’t seen in over five years, and she told me about her life, how she’d lost her mom and what she’d been going through,” recalls Chazelle, who adds that “Maria” was inspired by her friend’s life.
“It feels like it all got started at Tribeca,” says Chazelle, who will bring “Maria My Love” to the 10th annual Tribeca Film Festival, which runs April 20–May 1 in New York.
She’s not alone in her serendipitous experience.

Tribeca: Please describe Maria My Love in your own words. Jasmine McGlade Chazelle: Maria My Love is about a young woman who learns to open up and process her mother's death with the help of the people she meets over the course of one Los Angeles spring. Tribeca: As the writer/director, what inspired you to tell this story? Jasmine McGlade Chazelle: The idea first came about exactly two years ago, the night my husband's film Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench premiered at Tribeca. My old high school friend Lauren Fales showed up unexpectedly to the premiere, and I hadn't seen her in over five years. After the screening, she told me her mother had passed away from cancer and that she'd been struggling. I was really touched by her story. I knew right then during that conversation I would make this movie, and when I returned to La,...
