Roske singled out cast member Catherine Urbanek for her ‘excellent’ work on the film, both in front and behind the camera:
“Catherine (Urbanek) is such a solid performer – the beats she has in the movie land every time with a soft elegance – but her work getting the film completed is equally impressive. She was the real dynamo that helped put the whole thing together.”
"I am so happy to be a part of "Courting Des Moines", especially as it coincides with the current election cycle. Not only was I able to work with a very talented cast, but I also was able to learn more about the political process of our great nation. Filming in Iowa was wonderful. The people are so gracious and helpful. We had a great time working there. Meeting both Senator Tom Harkin and Senator Paul Strauss was an honor. "Courting Des Moines" is a pleasant reminder of what politics can be: people working together to improve the lives of the everyday American. I hope audiences will enjoy this movie as much as I enjoyed being a part of it." - Associate Producer and actress, Catherine Urbanek
