Back To One

Cooper Raiff Returns

21 Oct 2025

Description

Cooper Raiff returns to the podcast (first time was Ep. 128) to discuss his latest project, the eight-episode, independently-made, decades-spanning series "Hal & Harper." He picks up right where we left off in the first interview, 5 years ago, taking us through the process of getting "Cha Cha Real Smooth" made, and how that green light helped him avoid compromising "Hal & Harper." He explains why no matter what success you've had (like winning top prizes at the biggest festivals for his previous two films) the industry makes you start over and prove each new project's worth. He talks about how the grueling shooting schedule took a toll on his health, what makes Lili Reinhard the perfect Harper, how ignoring good advice paid off, and much more. "Hal & Harper" is streaming now on Mubi. Back To One is the in-depth, no-nonsense, actors-on-acting podcast from  Filmmaker Magazine. In each episode, host Peter Rinaldi invites one working actor to do a deep dive into their unique process, psychology, and approach to the craft.  Follow Back To One on Instagram
