Show Notes
Writer, director, and producer Phil Kaufman recalls the scary moment when the hottest writer in Hollywood walked out of a meeting with the studio because they wanted to change his script. That fateful moment changed the course of the film. Phil Kaufman took a stab at his own draft of the script, but wasn't sure if he wanted to direct the film until the legendary Jean-Luc Godard told him he would direct it if Phil passed. It was a hard shoot, but a magical one launched the career of Sam Shepard and won 4 Oscars.
