Like so many sibling pairs, David and Nathan Zellner often finish one another's sentences. There's a fluid start and stop to their exchanges, as if what one stumbles to express, the other vocalizes with ease. They repeat one another as well, each an echo, and yet the two are immediately distinct.
Hanging out in the Sundance Filmmaker's Lodge on the afternoon of their last screening of feature debut Goliath, David sits the closer of the two. The writer-director of the pair, his attention is always direct, a never faltering focus seeming to aim him at some visualized destination. He speaks articulately, with no tension, the consummate leader, always seeming to know what he means and to know where it will get him.
