It’s easy to believe that a director who never got to see a feature film until he was 17 might try to squeeze everything he could into the first one he ever got to make.
The too easy conflation of story and back story ignores the fact that Canosa, who grew up without movies in a family of conservative Christian missionaries, is an exquisitely careful director who spent two years storyboarding “Conversations” before ever shooting a frame, obsessively mapping angles and balancing visual freights and weights.
With a small but sufficient budget and a tight if unusual script, Canosa was able to attract major talent to his film, but always with complications.

Under Mas Canosa's leadership, the foundation survived the sudden shift in political winds when in 1992 a Democratic candidate, Bill Clinton, defeated Republican President George Bush, a foundation ally in the White House.
