Hollywood needs more Theodore Melfis. It would make the film industry a much better place. The quality of his work is so high. His screenplays are witty, important, and moving. His directorial ability brings stories to life in the most beautiful and gripping way. And perhaps most importantly, he knows how to assemble a crew. Melfi insists teamwork is the key to the success of his films, like his current hit Hidden Figures. Melfi is one of the few directors I’ve talked to who actively works to have an inclusive set with diverse collaborators both in front of the camera and behind it. What he has to säga about representation is imperative for all creatives to read and apply to their projects. In this interview, Melfi discusses learning on the job, working stress-free, and why diversity is the key to telling a compelling story.
When did you realize you wanted to be a screenwriter and director?

The Rogers Revue
Here we are with another round of Director’s week of INTERVUE! In today’s edition, I interviewed director Theodore Melfi. He directed a celebrity I would like to interview one day – the one & only Bill Murray in his directorial debut, St. Vincent. The movie focused on the life of Vincent, a retired curmudgeon with a penchant for alcohol and gambling. Suddenly, he gets new neighbors; Maggie played by comedienne Melissa McCarthy and her 12-year-old Oliver played by newcomer Jaeden Lieberher. Somehow, this odd pairing of ordinary people begin to help each other grow up.
I heard that you had to get to Bill Murray through a 1-800 number, is that correct?
That’s correct. Bill Murray doesn’t have an agent or a manager; he just has this 1-800 number. So, you just call this 1-800 number and if Murray calls you back, he calls you back. If he doesn’t, he doesn’t.
How long did it take from the initial call from the time he called you back?
