One of the many films that premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival was director Ry Russo-Young's (You Won't Miss Me) Nobody Walks.  Written by Lena Dunham and Russo-Young, the ensemble drama stars John Krasinski, Olivia Thirlby, Rosemarie DeWitt, India Ennenga and Justin Kirk.  In the film, "Krasinski plays Peter, a Hollywood sound designer who’s agreed to help Martine (Thirlby) with her experimental art film as a favor to his wife (DeWitt). Martine, a beautiful and driven 23-year-old artist, comes to stay in the family’s pool house at their posh Silver Lake home, and her arrival ignites raw emotions and desires throughout the entire family." Ennenga plays the daughter.  Since premiering, Magnolia picked up the film for domestic distribution, so you'll be able to see it at some point down the road.During my interview with Ennenga we talked about being at Sundance, who she plays in the film and what it's about, and how she got cast.  In addition, with Ennenga currently filming Treme season 3, we talked about what we can expect from her character, the music of New Orleans, how much is improvised, and what else she has coming up.  Hit the jump to watch.India Ennenga Time Index
