1/5/2024 update: Rodrigo Prieto & Greta Gerwig interview (YouTube) – Great discussion hearing some of the creative challenges Rodrigo faced, certainly more challenging than I appreciated while watching. The hard part is making it look so easy, and that’s why Prieto is one of the greatest to ever do it. – Wes
