'Making Marie Antoinette' Producer Sofia Coppola

Friday, October 23, 2026 • Duration 34:00

During the making of her boundary breaking period drama "Marie Antoinette," Sofia Coppola's mother Eleanor shot hundreds of hours of behind the scenes footage. Sofia and her long time editor Aaron Mathews assembled it into a feature length documentary, with the aid of Diane Lane reading the late Eleanor's journals from the set. She opened up with IndieWire's Chris O'Falt about the intimate access a filmmaker grants their own mother, working under the shadow of her father's reputation for grandeur, and her pride in her mother's art.

'You Can See Everything' & 'Primetime' Director Lance Oppenheim

Monday, October 19, 2026 • Duration 53:53

Lance Oppenheim is a favorite guest on the Filmmaker Toolkit; a director who loves dissecting his process. Lance has two films in theaters that demand this kind of breakdown more than any this year. First, we dig into the Elizabeth Holmes documentary he co-directed with Nathan Fielder, 'You Can See Everything.' Lance explains the web of confusion and falsehoods they were drawn into by Holmes, often disagreeing about the nature of what they had just captured on camera. Then we cover Lance's first scripted feature 'Primetime,' including how he got Robert Pattinson on board and how his brand of narrative documentary adapted to fiction filmmaking.

'Fjord' Director Cristian Mungiu

Wednesday, October 14, 2026 • Duration 43:03

Director Cristian Mungiu ("4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days") uses his films to challenge audience's morals and sense of justice. In his newest film, the Palme d'Or winning "Fjord," Mungiu follows an immigrant Romanian family targeted by Norwegian child protective services for their conservative beliefs. Our challenging conversation digs into the messy morality of a progressive nation enforcing its beliefs with authoritarian practices, and how Mungiu writes his films to place the viewer in the role of jurist.
