Doc Talk Podcast: ‘Seeking Mavis Beacon’ Filmmakers On Searching For The Woman Who Became The Face Of A “Servile Fembot”


Jazmin Jones and Olivia McKayla Ross talk Seeking Mavis Beacon, a documentary about finding the model on the cover of famed typing software.

The cinematic sleuths join the latest edition of Deadline’s Doc Talk podcast to share why they were so intrigued by L’Espérance, and the larger truths they believe are revealed in the story of Mavis Beacon. Jones jokingly suggests she had to strike a balance in the film between veering into conspiracy theory territory (hence the reference above to the tinfoil hat) and adhering to a journalistic/investigative approach. That’s on full display in the new episode of Doc Talk, hosted by Oscar winner John Ridley ( 12 Years a Slave, Shirley) and Deadline’s documentary editor Matt Carey.
