Writer-director Drake Doremus, whose own long-distance relationship was the inspiration for the new feature ‘Like Crazy,’ will be joining us for a live online chat at noon on Nov. 2.

After its premiere at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, the drama about the sometimes troubled love affair between a Los Angeles furniture designer (‘Star Trek’s’ Anton Yelchin) and a London journalist (‘The Tempest’s’ Felicity Jones) sparked a spirited bidding war, with Paramount Pictures and independent producer Indian Paintbrush grabbing the film for some $4 million. The largely improvised film, whose cast includes future ‘Hunger Games’ star Jennifer Lawrence, opens this weekend in Los Angeles and New York to strong reviews.

The 28-year-old Doremus, whose last feature was the 2010 Sundance selection ‘Douchebag,’ recently completed principal photography on his next feature, which also stars Jones. The as-yet untitled movie also stars Guy Pearce, Amy Ryan and Kyle MacLachlan.
