Back in June 2021 I had the pleasure of speaking to prolific playwright, film writer and director John Patrick Shanley. Thanks to former guest Jim Maxwell (digital matte artist) for putting me in touch with John. 

In this episode of the Filmumentaries podcast, I speak with acclaimed writer and director John Patrick Shanley. We explore Shanley's creative journey, from his early days of writing poetry to his successful career in theatre and film. Shanley shares insights on the importance of mentorship, the challenges of navigating success and failure, and the collaborative nature of storytelling in both mediums. He reflects on his experiences with boredom as a catalyst for creativity, the impact of success on future projects, and the significance of character development in his works. The conversation culminates in a heartfelt reflection on winning an Oscar and the importance of allowing oneself to embrace joy and success. Shanley also delves into the challenges of directing and editing, as well as his upcoming projects, including a new film and a play.
