Join us for an evening with one-of-a-kind filmmaker Barry Sonnenfeld, who will share stories only he can tell, from his blockbuster career with iconic actors, studio execs, and producers. His soon to be released book, BEST POSSIBLE PLACE, WORST POSSIBLE TIME, delivers a cavalcade of sometimes baffling, often enlightening, and always funny stories about Sonnenfeld’s many films and television shows. From battling with studio executives and producers to bad-script-solving on set to coaxing actors into finding the right light and talking faster, Sonnenfeld provides an entertaining master class in how to make commercial art in the face of constant human foible. Over four decades in Hollywood, his mega-franchises include The Addams Family and Men in Black; the critical favorites, Get Shorty and Pushing Daisies; the icons, Will Smith, John Travolta, and Michael Jackson; and the projects that got away, Forrest Gump, Ali, and anything starring Jim Carrey.
The true stories escalate from surreal to outrageous to unbelievable. Sonnenfeld's humor and insight provide an inside glimpse into how Hollywood really works, or how it doesn’t. You’ll never see Hollywood the same way again.
This event is free and open to the public; no registration required. Books will be available for sale and signing.
