Lectures For Lifelong Learners!

We all grew up at the movies — the studios, the stars, the magic of the big screen. But how does Hollywood actually work? Emmy-nominated filmmaker Kareem Tabsch has had his films premiere at Sundance, been heralded as “Essential” by the New York Times, and his last three documentaries have all landed on Netflix. Now he takes you behind the curtain to discuss the evolution of the production process, from the golden age of the studio system to today’s world of Netflix and streaming. With warmth, humor, and stories from his own career directing documentaries, he reveals how a film really gets made — and who decides which stories reach the screen.
