Producer Suzanne Farwell & White Burgundy
As Nancy Meyers' long-time producing partner, Suzanne Farwell established her career making big studio films like The Intern, It's Complicated, The Holiday and Something's Gotta Give. She's stepping out as an independent producer with the upcoming Carrie Pilby, which premiered last week to rave reviews at the Toronto International Film Festival. In this episode, she sits down with us to discuss the state of female films, the battles of taking a small book to the big screen, and how an overnight "dialing friends for money" campaign saved Carrie Pilby from falling apart a month before shooting. Through it all, we drink three white burgundies whose Frenchy names are too long to account for here and also get the dish on Suzanne's first movie job working with an 11-year-old Lindsay Lohan in The Parent Trap.
