Michelle Memran's The Rest I Make Up celebrates the fierce and unquenchable spontaneity that is Maria Irene Fornes—a virtuosic theater artist and educator whose plays and writing workshops helped shape American theater. When Memran began spending time with her for the film, it became clear that Irene—then in her 70s—was suffering from an undiagnosed dementia. Weaving together footage of the present with archival from the past, the documentary moves mentor and student towards an ever-deepening connection in the face of forgetting.
