Why MakingOf

When I started my film development company, I became immersed in trying to translate books to screen, develop compelling characters and great stories and find the right directors. It was then that I realized the magnitude of what really goes into making movies — and wished there were more people to give me insight and direction. Several treatments, screenplays and pitches later I met Natalie on a film set. We became dear friends and soon the idea for MakingOf was born. MakingOf’s mission is to champion the art and craft of entertainment creation. Natalie and I know that so much of what goes into entertainment creation is unavailable to the people who love and consume it most. We wanted to give fans a way to experience how it’s done and learn from the insiders. At MakingOf we feel very lucky to sit and talk with the most amazing filmmakers – hear their insight, their path, and their advice. And the MakingOf team and I get to share all that wisdom and experience with you! We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. As William Goldman writes in his book Adventures in the Screen Trade "Movies help mark out our lives." We agree with Mr. Goldman and believe that in some way each of us has a deep relationship to movies. We hope that MakingOf brings you closer to your favorite movies and sheds some insight on how the world’s greatest filmmakers create movies that touch our lives.
