Q&A with Amir “Questlove” Thompson

You did almost all of the work on this film— what was that experience like?
Jessica Kingdon: I did have a close cinematographer, Nathan Truesdell, and we shot it together. But, yeah, it was very much a film that was coming out of my own mind.

Q&A with Adam McKay

How did you arrive at the very specific tone of the film?
Adam McKay: It was always going to have comedic elements to it. But in the editing process, the tone was very tricky.
