One sign of a great actor is versatility, actress and Ulster County resident Vera Farmiga said at the Woodstock Film Festival awards ceremony Saturday night.
“When I think of Keanu, I am at once struck by the decade-defining character Neo in ‘The Matrix’ and the vulnerable, strung-out hustler that he portrayed in ‘My Own Private Idaho,’” Farmiga said in presenting the festival’s Honorary Excellence in Acting Award to Keanu Reeves.
Farmiga described Reeves as a “pop culture phenomenon and a subculture hero,” adding that “this dichotomy is a testament to Keanu’s ability to just dance between these two worlds.”
She also described Reeves as an actor who is not afraid to step out of his comfort zone and take “big-time risks.”
Farmiga co-stars with Reeves in “Henry’s Crime,” which was shown at Upstate Films in Woodstock on Saturday as part of the festival. Throughout the filming, Farmiga said, Reeves “threw me lot of curveballs.”
Reeves accepted the award on behalf of himself “and everyone I’ve ever worked with.”

THE INTERVIEW WITH KEANU REEVES AT THE WOODSTOCK FILM FESTIVAL

“Yeah, I started a company called Company Films with a friend of mine called Stephen Hamel, who's really great at developing. We started working on Henry's Crime about four and a half years ago. We found some dough to pay Sacha Gervasi [The Terminal, Anvil!] to write a script, then we developed it and found some money to make a film. I sort of took this film from beginning to end.”

“Yeah, we set out to make a kinda comedic romance with a crazy idea about a guy who works at a tollbooth and who kind of inadvertently ends up being the driver for a bank robbery and gets caught, and instead of going back to his life, decides not to speak and goes to jail. Then he comes out of jail and decides to go back and rob the same bank to change his life, falls in love with an actress, then there's a Prohibition tunnel that goes from the theater to the bank, then he ends up having to play Lophakhin in The Cherry Orchard in order to get access to the tunnel to rob the bank” …/Keanu Reeves/

And the plan's to keep balancing out the small indies with bigger studio films?

I hope so. Hopefully I'll be working with Universal on 47 Ronin starting in the beginning of the year: It's a mythical Japanese story, kind of a Western, a story of revenge — samurai who want to avenge the death of their lord — and I'm very excited about that. [At Company Films,] we've got a film called Passengers, which was at Morgan Creek, and a script by a writer named Mark Andrus called Bloom, and the director Scott Ellis. So we're going to try to cast that up and get some dough for it. And we've got some drafts of some stories coming in from these writers Mark Hyman and Kristin Gore. Trying to make movies

~PLUS CAMERIMAGE FESTIVAL~

Keanu Reeves also presented Herny’s Crime at the festival in Bydgoszcz a few weeks ago. He was talking about shooting a documentary about modern techniques of film. He took advantage of the fact that in that city, due to Oliveira, world-renowned authors cinematographer have gathered. Keanu played the role of journalist and filmed interviews also with Michael Ballhaus. There were a lot of Keanu's fans over there who took pictures of him using their cameras in cell phones, also the auditorium of the main hall was full of amateur photographers. Keanu with a beautiful smile on his face posed for pictures and gave autographs. That's the fact.

Keanu is loved everywhere he goes
