This week, our guest is trailblazing filmmaker Lee Daniels.

At the top, we discuss his fifteen-year journey to the new Netflix film The Deliverance (4:00), Daniels’ relationship to spirituality (8:30), and his memories of directing theatre at eight-years-old (12:00). Then, we dive into the therapeutic quality of filmmaking (15:00), his work as a casting director at Warner Brothers in the 80s (17:00), and what it meant for Daniels to manage young performers like Morgan Freeman and Loretta Devine (21:00).

On the back-half, he unpacks the tumultuous process of making his award-winning film Precious (27:00), the projects that followed in The Paperboy and The Butler (36:10), his paradigm-shifting work in Hollywood (37:35), the peace that guided him to make his new film (45:00), and what motivates him to keep working (47:00).
