Frank V. Ross on 'Quietly On By' (2005): A Split Tooth Interview

For Split Tooth's fifth anniversary in April 2023, we had the privilege of screening Frank V. Ross' Quietly on By (2005) in Portland, Oregon, at the Movie Madness Miniplex. To make the showing extra special for those in attendance we conducted a video interview with Ross to follow the film. In celebration of Split Tooth's sixth anniversary today, we are publishing an updated and extended version of the interview that is the first in an upcoming series devoted to each of his films.
Looking back at Quietly on By, his breakthrough third feature film, Ross recalls the people and experiences that inspired it, his relationship with frequent leading man Tony Baker, and recognizes aspects of the film that have only become apparent to him in recent years. The lessons learned and ideas that led him to make the film continue to drive his creativity.
