For anyone who is in the industry, Tim’s Superhero is a hell of a read.
At its core, Superhero gets to what we all secretly wonder. Does our work matter? And how do we prevent the power structures of the business of filmmaking from corrupting us?
During the event, Tim shared his philosophy and methodology for filmmaking and story creation.
And, on an incredible personal note, he shared two conversations that changed his life. One from his mother, the other from Joel Coen.
