Critic's Notebook: Drake Doremus keeps it simple and intimate

PARK CITY, Utah — Drake Doremus is as engaging and open a filmmaker as you are likely to meet, but once he gets down to work, everything changes. "I close my sets as much as I can," the 29-year-old writer-director says. "I treat every scene like a sex scene — it's like the actors are getting emotionally nude. It's amazing. Different things come out when no one is watching."
