    Tell Me Lies w/ Creator, Writer, Exec. Producer MEAGHAN OPPENHEIMER
    Aug 30 2024
    Screenwriter · Exec. Producer · Showrunner Creator of Hulu's Tell Me Lies · Queen America Often when people write or make movies about romances with young adults, I think they are very flippant about it and don't take it seriously. But I think that those friendships and romantic relationships are some of the most important ones because they really set the stage for the rest of our lives. If your first relationship is incredibly toxic and damaging, it can take you years to figure out that that's not normal, and that that's not actually how relationships are meant to be.

    Remembering PAUL AUSTER - Writer, Director (1947-2024)
    May 1 2024
    Writer · Director 1947-2024 What happens is a space is created. And maybe it’s the only space of its kind in the world in which two absolute strangers can meet each other on terms of absolute intimacy. I think this is what is at the heart of the experience and why once you become a reader that you want to repeat that experience, that very deep total communication with that invisible stranger who has written the book that you’re holding in your hands. And that’s why I think, in spite of everything, novels are not going to stop being written, no matter what the circumstances. We need stories. We’re all human beings, and it’s stories from the moment we’re able to talk.

  • There’s another side to every war. Satire, War & Hollywood - Co-creator DON McKELLAR on The Sympathizer

    There’s another side to every war. Satire, War & Hollywood - Co-creator DON McKELLAR on The Sympathizer
    Apr 16 2024
    Co-writer · Executive Producer · Co-showrunner of HBO’s The Sympathizer I think it's central to the message of the show and of the book. This idea that there's another side to every question. That's the central quandary. There's this problem with the whole Vietnam War. It's saying to Americans, at least put yourself on the other side, the Vietnamese side, and then recognize that that side also has two sides and then within that, there are further divisions. And if you do that, I think what it's proposing is that you have to step back. It forces a sort of objectivity and humility, and it asks you to step back and allow the bigger human questions to resonate.

    Award-winning Screenwriters · Exec. Producers · Directors American Rust · The Looming Tower Capote · The Outsiders musical We're all culpable in some way of being both good and bad, being virtuous and also questionable at times in our own lives. And I think when you start answering questions on either side of that too firmly, I think it allows the audience to disconnect from it. And then you just have this sort of a good and bad guy narrative that is oversimplified all too often in our culture. I think viewers will relate to this nature versus nurture versus DNA, raising all the questions of psychological and biological inheritance.
