George, who has won five Tony Awards, also directed the feature Ma Rainey's Black Bottom discusses:
Making a complicated homosexual factual film.
Financing through President Obama.
Adapting a true story using a mix of documentary techniques.
Starting out in Theatre, what to show and not show when adapting for the screen.
The screenwriting process and casting the perfect lead.
