Happy New Year! This is a podcast. The Director\\u2019s Club Podcast. Maybe you should get a coffee first before listening. A coffee and a muffin might help. Gosh I\\u2019m so tired. But what a way to start the new year. Podcasting with a wonderful person like Sharon. Then editing it. Then writing these show notes. The thing that you\\u2019re reading right now. Or maybe you\\u2019re not reading this, you\\u2019re listening to the podcast. Wouldn\\u2019t it be weird if suddenly you were on the podcast? You the listener? Sometimes it all blurs and blends together. Anyway, you\\u2019re probably wondering who this podcast episode is all about. I also cheated a little this time because the first three movies, he didn\\u2019t even direct.

I\\u2019m talking about my favorite writer, Charlie Kaufman who is responsible for my 2nd favorite movie Synecdoche New York among many other incredible screenplays most of us know and love. More importantly, joining me for this lively discussion is the creator of the Mental Filmness Film Festival, Sharon Gissy. She\\u2019s also a huge fan of Charlie Kaufman and I knew she would bring a lot of insight, passion and joy to the podcast. If you\\u2019re a fan of Synecdoche, hopefully you enjoy the final minute (in other stay til the very end). In about a week, the favorite films of 2023 episode will drop featuring Patrick Ripoll and Bill Ackerman. What a way to start the year and I couldn\\u2019t be happier getting to talk about the great Charlie Kaufman with Sharon.
