Stacey Sher On Working With Tarantino And Soderbergh, Why Producing Has Been “Devalued” & An Update On Her Martin Scorsese Series ‘Devil In The White City’ — Locarno

Locarno Film Festival runs from August 7 – 17.

There are no direct flights from Los Angeles to the quaint Swiss town where Sher will be the guest of honor as she receives the festival’s Raimondo Rezzonico Award for career achievement. Twice nominated for the Best Picture Oscar with Erin Brockovich and Django Unchained — both of which will screen this week in Locarno — Sher’s most recent credits include the Aretha Franklin biopic Respect and Chris Pine’s feature debut Poolman. SHER: I took a position at a large video game company for three years when my kids were at a certain age where I couldn’t be on the road and then I came back with the Aretha Franklin film Respect and then made Mrs. America.
