Welcome back to A History of Film Festivals in 100 Movies.

This is Episode 4: Lady Bird - directed by Greta Gerwig and Telluride Film Festival

As with the previous filmmakers shared on this podcast, Lady Bird was a low budget indie, taking film festivals by storm, in this case, premiering at the top tier Telluride Film Festival. 

The movie would help Gerwig transition comfortably to the filmmaker's chair, launching her career, that has continued to thrive, eventually leading to the Billion dollar Barbie juggernaut.

Here's to hoping it does well at this week's Oscar ceremony, even with the Academy snub…but we'll get to that later.  First a little personal backstory.
