Josh Greenbaum (Will & Harper | Netflix)
Description
Director Josh Greenbaum’s latest documentary, “Will & Harper”, depicts an intimate portrayal of friendship, understanding and America as Will Ferrell and his recently transitioned close friend Harper Steele, former SNL head writer, embark on a cross-country road trip. Josh shares with Tiller the experience of being approached by Will and Harper with the initial film idea (2:30 ), Josh’s multi-step prep process (6:00 ), how he ensured the road trip felt authentic (12:30 ), finding acceptance in the most unexpected places (15:30 ), the grand epiphanies they realized along the way (20:00 ), how removing the “comedy” was the key editorial breakthrough (25:00 ), and the fundamental definition of a director (29:00 ).
