Sean Baker On Rejecting Gangster Genre In ‘Anora’ & Fighting For Theatrical Windows: “Hopefully, The Next Time I Get Way Over 90 Days” – Crew Call Podcast
On the latest episode of Deadline's Crew Call, Sean Baker talks about defying the gangster genre in his award winning 'Anora' and long theatrical windows.
“We shouldn’t abandon the medium which created this artform,” Baker tells us on this episode of Crew Call, on why he opted to shoot Anora on film. “With each film, I fight for a longer theatrical window and hopefully, the next time I get way over 90 days,” says the filmmaker about the demands he expects for his works for bidding distributors. We talk with Baker, and his producers Samantha Quan and Alex Coco about cracking the original high class stripper-Russian oligarch son romantic comedy, which Cannes Film Festival jury boss Greta Gerwig likened to the “structures of Lubitsch and Howard Hawks,” the story’s origins, intentional divisive ending, and discovering Anora herself, Mikey Madison.
