Ep309 - Marina Zenovich, Director ‘Lance,’ ‘Robin Williams,’ & ‘What Happens in Hollywood’

For twenty years, Marina Zenovich has been making documentaries about subjects that interest her. Past subjects include Lance Armstrong, Robin Williams, Roman Polanski, and Richard Pryor. For her latest project, What Happens in Hollywood, the series takes a candid look at Hollywood’s role in framing society’s overall view of sex and sexuality. Subjects include Robin Wright, Minnie Driver, and Bobbi Banks. In this interview, Marina talks about trusting gut instincts, why she avoids pre-interviews, the secret to great conversations, how to make first contact with a subject, the problem with cancel culture, and her interest in “difficult men” as a documentary filmmaking.
