Watch With Jen - S3: E31 - Crew Members Turned Director with Conor O'Donnell & Dan Mecca
Episode description
This week, I was so pleased to welcome two friends and the hosts of The Film Stage's excellent podcast The B-Side, which covers movie stars in a fascinating way by focusing not on the films that made or kept them famous but the ones that actors made in between. The delightful show just celebrated its four-year anniversary and I had such a fun time joining hosts Dan Mecca and Conor O'Donnell to discuss a handful of films starring Marisa Tomei last year.
A producer and filmmaker living in Pittsburgh, Dan Mecca started The Film Stage with Jordan Raup in college at Buffalo and Conor O'Donnell is a post-production supervisor based in New York City and also serves as a critic for The Film Stage.
Joining me to celebrate four former crew members turned directors and the diverse films that resulted from their work, in this episode, we tackle Douglas Trumbull's Silent Running, Jack Fisk's Violets are Blue, Ava DuVernay's Selma, and Jesse V. Johnson's Avengement.
