In 'Tuner', directed by Daniel Roher, actors Havana Rose Liu and Leo Woodall immerse themselves in the world of music, each portraying characters deeply connected to the piano. Woodall plays Niki, a piano tuner and former virtuoso who grapples with hyperacusis, while Liu embodies Ruthie, a composition student. Both actors underwent rigorous training to convincingly perform their roles. Woodall practiced daily, focusing on posture and technique, while Liu, with only two months to prepare, concentrated on five concert pieces, often practicing multiple hours a day. Their dedication was supported by Marius de Vries, a Grammy-winning music producer, who worked closely with them to ensure authenticity in their performances. The film, which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in 2025 and later at Sundance, combines elements of a heist and a musical drama, reflecting on the relevance of classical music in contemporary culture. Liu and Woodall's emotional connections to their characters, stemming from personal experiences of loss, add depth to their performances, culminating in a powerful piano scene that resonates with audiences.
