Description

Before he created the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, which inspired HBO's award-winning series GAME OF THRONES, George R.R. Martin was a kid growing up in an underserved neighbourhood, selling made-up stories for a penny each, until he raised his prices to a nickel. In this hour-long talk hosted by TIFF Cinematheque director Jesse Wente and recorded at TIFF in 2012 just before GAME OF THRONES' second season launched, Martin talks about how his childhood influenced his creative life, what he learned working in TV before GOT began, and how he built the massive and intricate world of Westeros.
