How 'Navalny' Filmmaker Daniel Roher’s Post-Oscar Creative Depression Inspired ‘Tuner’
Roher said a chance meeting with a piano tuner and post-Oscar creative paralysis shaped the heist romance, which stars Leo Woodall and Dustin Hoffman.
- The heist thriller "Tuner" opens in theaters Friday, following a piano tuner who inadvertently helps criminals crack a safe during a mansion job.
- While on a "new boyfriend tour" with his future wife around Los Angeles, filmmaker Roher met a piano tuner, peppered him with questions, and had an epiphany about safecracking that became the film's basis.
- Leo Woodall stars as apprentice Niki opposite Dustin Hoffman's veteran Harry Horowitz; Woodall noted Hoffman responded perfectly when directed to focus on the script during improvisation.
- After winning an Oscar for "Navalny" at age 29, Roher experienced creative paralysis; he overcame this funk by directing "Tuner" and an AI documentary simultaneously over the past 18 months.
- Critics describe "Tuner" as a spiritual descendent of "Good Will Hunting," blending crime thriller and romance; Roher has relocated to Rome with his family to begin several new projects.

A streetwise rogue who can quote Dostoevsky or play Rachmaninoff may only exist in the realm of fantasy, but it’s catnip for actors (almost always men) who want to play rough around [...] The post Tuner — Daniel Roher [Review] appeared first on In Review Online.
