Jack Champion and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth go head-to-head with acting greats like Bryan Cranston, Allison Janney, and Chris Cooper in Jon S. Baird’s “Everything’s Going to Be Great.”  Both star as the children of regional theater parents (Cranston and Janney) mapping their own journey of owning their spotlight.

The film is sweet, tender, with enough levity provided by both Champion and Ainsworth.  I spent some time with the young actors to talk about their interest in making the film, their characters, the family dynamics, and their plans for the future.

“Everything’s Going to be Great” from Lionsgate is coming to VOD digital and at-home on July 11.
