Three people, one conversation, ninety minutes: that was the stage play Sheepwell. Now it's a feature film, and it's heading to the Austin Film Festival as a fresh voice in a very crowded field.
This Special Report brings Mike White together with Sheepwell (2026) co-writer and producer Danielle DeMatteo, producer and star Lauren Elizabeth Harris, and actor Mark Ryan Anderson. DeMatteo founded the nonprofit SheNYC Arts, which first staged the play at its Off-Broadway festival. Harris runs Pathway Pictures.
They dig into the hard part of adaptation: turning characters who only get talked about into people you can see, and building two roles that never existed in the original play. They trace how a staffer's insistent phone call put the script on DeMatteo's desk, why producing makes Harris a better actor, what Anderson found stepping into a close-knit set late in the shoot, and what Harris hopes women will see in her character. They close with Austin plans and what each guest tackles next.
