This week, I'm delighted to be joined once again by my good friend Kate Hagen, who is the Senior Vice President of The Black List. Returning to the show for another conversation with some of our favorite independent filmmaking heroes, in the past, we've spoken to such greats as writer-director Allison Anders and actors turned producers Amy Robinson & Griffin Dunne.
Today, we're honored to be chatting with the woman who received an award naming her a New York trailblazer, writer-director Nancy Savoca, who, along with her frequent co-writer, producer, and husband Richard Guay have made such groundbreaking & beloved award-winning & critically acclaimed indies as TRUE LOVE, DOGFIGHT, HOUSEHOLD SAINTS, THE 24 HOUR WOMAN, and more.
A must for fans of independent filmmaking of the '80s & '90s, in this illuminating discussion, Nancy & Rich chronicle not only their journey as filmmakers but more recently, their incredibly vital work on behalf of MissingMovies.org to try to locate, preserve, and safeguard indies for future generations.
