Reality and fantasy, dreams and memories flow freely into one another in the haunting, layered works of iconoclastic auteur Carlos Saura, arguably the most important Spanish filmmaker to emerge between Luis Buñuel and Pedro Almodóvar.

Michael Schultz is unique in Hollywood. At 83, and still directing TV, the man behind “Cooley High,” “Car Wash” and “Krush Groove” is likely the longest-working Black director in history. We had a series of talks about his 50 years in the business.

"Todd gave me complete freedom for Lester. The only direction he gave me was that Lester was afraid of everything. I thought he would cover himself completely so that nothing could touch him.I tried a few different looks made up of thermals and thrift-store pieces."

"Costume design can be very psychological...You have to look at where people are in their lives and what’s influencing them. What are they listening to? I always like to ask actors what kind of music they think their character listens to."
