Interesting facts

Diane is a 2018 American drama film written and directed by Kent Jones in his narrative directorial debut. It stars Mary Kay Place in the title role, with Jake Lacy, Deirdre O'Connell, Andrea Martin, and Estelle Parsons in supporting roles. It revolves around a selfless woman whose unwavering service to others hides a lifelong secret.

Production

Kent Jones took decades and multiple drafts to complete the screenplay for Diane, which was inspired by the women in his family. Jones said about his approach to making his first narrative film:

There are a lot of ways to talk about why I made my first narrative feature at the age that I did, but one of those ways is to say that everything that I valued in cinema — everything that I valued in the original movies I loved — it was all about the kind of attention that you can bring to filmmaking. It had nothing to do with preconceived ideas. It was just about the work and a direct response to it.

The film was produced by Luca Borghese, Ben Howe, Caroline Kaplan, and Oren Moverman, while Martin Scorsese, Julia Lebedev, Leonid Lebedev, and Eddie Vaisman served as executive producers. Principal photography took place in Kingston, New York, and lasted 20 days in early 2017.
