Director Aaron Davidman and cast members Joshua Close, Joanne Kelly, and Gilbert Owuor discuss American Solitaire, a powerful film exploring the psychological toll of war, PTSD, and the challenges of reintegration.

In this interview we discuss:

• The reaction from veterans and their families
• The responsibility and purpose behind telling this story
• Research, data, and real-life perspectives that shaped the film
• Why the film is positioned as a conversation starter, not a political statement
• Exploring themes of gun safety, identity, and masculinity
• Breaking down key scenes and emotional moments

American Solitaire follows a veteran struggling to find his way after returning home, confronting the unseen scars of combat in a society that often fails to understand them.

Written and directed by Aaron Davidman, the film offers a raw and urgent look at the cost of war and the complexities of healing.

In theaters April 17, 2026.
