Join us as we spend an evening with the writer-director of such films as Three Kings, I Heart Huckabees, and most recently Silver Linings Playbook.

David O. Russell’s films have been described as “surprising and exciting,” “solidly entertaining,” and “witty and irreverent.” His first film, Spanking the Monkey, won twin Independent Spirit Awards for Best First Feature and Best First Screenplay, along with the Sundance Film Festival’s Audience Award. His films continue to garner awards and nominations, including an Academy Award nomination for Best Director for The Fighter.

Interviewer F.X. Feeney moderates the conversation.
