  1. Why is Greta Gerwig talking? Or even considered worthy of sitting next to greats like Michael Mann or Todd Hayes as a director she made Barbie ffs… Woke box ticking

  2. Making a film or rather succeeding in any field within this industry takes enormous amounts of dedication and determination, so when I see this amazing people talking about their experiences I know for a fact they mean every word they say, my absolute respect and appreciation for this directors who got up on the horse and didn’t stop till they finished the race.

  3. I dont think i'll ever watch Origin…did anyone see it? Is it worthwhile? Too bad duvarney was roped into doing a project on a book she says she didnt understand the 1st time she read it

  4. This is the oddest installment of this series. Of these directors, only Greta Gerwig made a financially successful film, and only Bradley Cooper (Maestro) was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director. Otherwise this is a collection of film directors and films that Bombed big time at the Box Office (combined budgets of $328 million vs $59 mil in returns.

    Why were these the directors and films that were spotlighted? I wonder.

  5. I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation but I was disappointed that no one acknowledged that Ava Duvernay and Blitz Bazawule face that many more obstacles and hurdles to their success due to pervasive persistent systemic racism. I thought that both Ava and Bltz were incredibly generous in not pointing it out to the larger group.

  6. Michael Mann is a giant director ,one of the very best ! his films are classics ,not only HEAT but also COLLATERAL, THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS, PUBLIC ENNEMIES, ALI etc.. ! he is a true visionary master ,it's only fair that these young directors around the table payed him a tribute, his talent and commitement to story telling is an inspiration for all directors !!

  7. I’m here for Ava. I’m a fan of her work. She really impressed me with Origin. I read Caste and it’s such a dense book. Her approach in making it, writing the screenplay is so smart. I loved it and her, even though she blocked me on Twitter 😊.

  8. Great interview for many reasons. I appreciate hearing the testimonies of the struggles. They are inspiring. These subjects believe in themselves and their content. That’s my takeaway for pitching and eventually selling my book.

  9. One day, I would love to see a Filmmaker Roundtable with some of my favorite Legends:

    1. Steven Spielberg 
    2. George Lucas 
    3. James Cameron 
    4. Ridley Scott
    5. Christopher Nolan
    6. Quentin Tarantino
    7. Vince Gilligan & Peter Gould
    8. The Duffer Brothers
    9. Gareth Edwards
