Filmmaker Jesse Moss talks about his new documentary “Mayor Pete” with Emmy Winner Charlotte Robinson host of OUTTAKE VOICES™. “Mayor Pete” is available worldwide on Amazon’s Prime Video. This riveting film takes viewers inside Pete Buttigieg’s historic campaign as the first openly gay democratic Presidential candidate’s bid for the highest office of the United States. From the earliest days of the campaign to his unexpected triumph in Iowa and beyond, this documentary reveals an intimate insider’s inquiry of what takes place behind the scenes in a significant political campaign and how it impacts the lives of those involved. We all know Buttigieg’s story from a little known Mayor from South Bend, Indiana to his Presidential bid for the White House and his Biden Administration appointment as the first openly LGBTQ Cabinet member in U.S. history as U.S. Secretary of Transportation. In this film Moss provides a modern cinéma vérité experience that explores the reality of what takes place behind the curtain in a high profile political campaign including the emotional roller coaster ride it provided for Buttigieg’s staff, family, friends and especially how it affected his relationship with his husband Chasten. “Mayor Pete” has been making the film festival circuit to rave reviews and is directed, written and produced by Moss in collaboration with writers Jeff Gilbert, Amanda McBaine and produced by Dan Cogan, Amanda McBaine, Jon Bardin and Laurie David. We talked to Jesse about his inspiration for taking on this must-see film “Mayor Pete” and as a fierce gay ally his spin on our LGBTQ issues.
Jesse Moss is an Emmy and Sundance Grand Jury Prize-winning director. His last film “Boys State” co-directed with his wife Amanda McBaine premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival. The film was awarded the Grand Jury Prize and released by Apple Original Films and A24. The film was shortlisted for the Academy Award for Best Feature Documentary and nominated for two Primetime Emmys. It won the 2021 Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Documentary. Moss has twice been nominated by the Directors Guild of America for Outstanding Directorial Achievement. “Mayor Pete” will be released globally by Amazon Studios on Prime Video November 12th.
