Interview with Elizabeth Darko aka Angela Nahigian

Talking with Angela Nahigian, a 2nd year institute student at A.R.T. / MXAT, she told of her experiences working with Marcus Stern and the A.R.T. company members on Donnie Darko and her reaction to the film.

I was thrilled to be given a part. I heard about the institute version in 2004, and I had seen the in the summer of 2003 and thought it was puzzling. I had watched it several times; after the first time, though I didn’t get a deep understanding, I really felt for Donnie in the story. I found it enjoyable and weird despite the fact I didn’t know what it meant.

Interview with Seth aka Thomas Kelley

Thomas Kelley is a 2nd year institute student at A.R.T. / MXAT. I asked him to chat with me about his experiences working on Donnie Darko with Marcus Stern and the A.R.T. company members and his reaction to the film.

Taking Marcus Stern’s class last year was one of my favorite experiences in my first year in the institute. The way he works is sensitive, kind and generous. I have come to see that he works the same way in professional setting.

When the words Donnie Darko fell from the lips of Gideon Lester at the company meeting, I wanted to stand and applaud.
