The entire month is devoted to the female filmmaker and we're kicking things off with a look at her 1971 debut feature A New Leaf with May biographer Carrie Courogen. Courogen discusses May's foray into directing, the challenges of making her debut feature, and how it started to show the cracks that would see May exit Hollywood. We also talk about her mad brilliance and the humor of Walter Matthau. Buy Miss May Does Not Exist at this link. I have a new book dropping on July 28th!
