Happy Tuesday! This time, we’re listening back to our 2018 conversation with filmmaker Debra Granik. In 2010, she wrote and directed “Winter’s Bone,” the acclaimed drama that launched Jennifer Lawrence’s career and was nominated for a Best Picture Oscar. Now, the long awaited follow-up is available to stream on Amazon. It’s called “Leave No Trace” and it’s been met with similar acclaim. She and Jesse talk about the new film, about the pitfalls of calling an artist a “genius” and her first ever paid movie gig: shooting weddings!
