Writer, director and producer Clint Bentley joined the stars of Jockey — Clifton Collins Jr. and Molly Parker — onstage at Deadline’s Contenders Film: Los Angeles award-season eve…
“It was from a very personal place,” Bentley said. “My dad was a jockey, so I grew up behind the barns, I grew up being babysat by the trainers as he was out exercising horses. There are many horse racing films, but of the ones that we do have, none at all deal with jockeys.”
“I had never seen the back side of the tracks,” said Parker, “where all of the trainers and the jockeys live, so it was a completely new world to me, as I think these guys were saying, to a film audience too. We just haven’t seen this.”In the film, Collins stars as an aging jockey hoping to win one last title for his longtime trainer , who has acquired what appears to be a championship horse.
“I think as an artist you’re always stealing from the world and life,” says Collins, “so there’s so many aspects like dropping weight… I dropped to 143, pretty fast.”“He would still come with you to lunch and just watch you eat,” said Parker. “For me, a desire to be accepted and embraced as one of them was my main goal,” said Collins. “Occasionally I would cheat, past 5 o’clock I might have a peanut M&M or two and there was always guilt with this. Pound for pound, the toughest athletes on the planet. Just little and tough, and they break bones like it could be like putting your shoes on in the morning.
