Sonoma Christian Home<\/em> Editor at Large and SAVN.tv\u2019s Suzanne Niles recently had the privilege of engaging in a conversation with the delightful Logan White about her role in the laugh-out-loud Moms\u2019 Night Out<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

SCH: You are in one of the funniest yet honestly heart-warming movies I have seen in a long, long while. I have screened it three times, including the premiere last week and I am going this weekend when it opens at the box office.<\/strong><\/p>\n

ALW: <\/strong> Wow, that is so incredible that you are seeing it for the fourth time. That is so encouraging, thank you. That blows me away, thank you! We hope to hear more of that from our audiences.<\/p>\n

SCH: Do you have children and if so, what stage of life are you in with them?<\/strong><\/p>\n

ALW: <\/strong> My husband and I have three children, 7, 4 and 14 months. The baby was 11 weeks old when we were shooting, so literally the whole film, I was nursing her in between scenes and through some very long nights.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

SCH: How did you get involved in Moms\u2019 Night Out<\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

ALW: <\/strong> In the midst of our real life, my husband and I were struggling to just get out together by ourselves. We were exhausted, trying to balance parenthood and marriage. We were able to get out on a date one night and we went to a movie. It was then we had the idea to make a film about marriage and parenting, how hard it is, yet make it funny.<\/p>\n

On a daily basis, what was happening in our home was great material for a movie. So we developed the concept and brought it to writer Andrea Gyertson Nasfell. Then Jon Erwin co-wrote with her as well. Andrea is a mom of two young ones herself, and director Jon Erwin has three. We all wanted to connect to moms and families, to show how hard it is to keep the marriage alive and not put yourself or your husband last. You should not lose yourself once you have children and you need to really encourage yourself. We are all a mess, but we are God\u2019s masterpiece. We want to encourage moms and dads: to inspire the human spirit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

SCH: Moms\u2019 Night Out<\/em> is relatable to young moms or moms who have been there, or even grandmas. How did the filmmakers achieve that wide spread generational appeal?<\/strong><\/p>\n

ALW: <\/strong>I give credit to the writers. Our goal is always to make something that appeals to a wide demographic and different generations. My 81-year-old grandparents were at the MNO premiere, and I am planning bring my kids Friday night. When you make a clean family comedy you can broaden your audience.<\/p>\n

My kids, for example, will watch any movie with other kids and laughter in it. With my grandparents, when you bring marriage, family and faith into the story, they love to watch that. I know that my husband\u2019s mom before she passed, she was 96 and she loved to watch Patricia Heaton in Everybody Loves Raymond<\/em>. Everybody can relate to family and comedy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

SCH: Speaking of Patricia Heaton, what was it like to work with a comedy pro like Patricia?<\/strong><\/p>\n

ALW: <\/strong> Oh my goodness, she is such a professional. It was truly fascinating to watch her. She is one of the most wonderful, likeable people. I walked into the makeup trailer on day one and I had my baby in my arms, and she was just gushing over the baby and talking about her own four kids with me.<\/p>\n

She was on set working on Everybody Loves Raymond<\/em> right after she had her children (Patricia Heaton and her husband David Hunt have four sons). As we spoke, Patricia was curious about my family, the baby, and how I was managing it all. She asked about our company Pure Flix. She is not your typical Hollywood actor; a lot of actors can be self-obsessed.<\/p>\n
