Producers David Heyman and Shannon McIntosh take us through the wild world of working with Quentin Tarentino on Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood.

Heyman and McIntosh reflect on the rush to get the film to Cannes in time, the necessity to have physical film prints delivered in order to make the deadline, and the success that followed.

THE LAST EMPEROR: Remembering Legendary Producer Jeremy Thomas

Producer Wendy Finerman discusses the making of 2006's Oscar-nominated classic The Devil Wears Prada.

JUNO: Diablo Cody's Journey from Exotic Dancing to the Oscar Stage
Producer Mason Novick recalls the making of 2007's unlikely cultural sensation Juno. Mason reached out to Wisconsin-based writer Diablo Cody whose edgy blog grabbed his attention.

A few years later, after securing huge stars Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman and the genius casting of Elliot Page and Michael Cera to star in Jason Reitman's groundbreaking film, Diablo and Mason found themselves at the Oscars. Juno resonates to this day and remains one of the only indie films to find massive success at both the box office and the Oscars. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
