    (Vanity Fair, 2022-11-21) Breznican, Anthony
    This article discusses the collaboration between Steven Spielberg and Tony Kushner in creating "The Fabelmans," Spielberg's intensely personal, semi-autobiographical film. Spielberg had contemplated making this film for some time, but because of its personal nature and revelations about his family, he had been reluctant to do so. Kushner coaxed him to do it. According to Speilberg, "the decision to make the movie was maybe one of the scariest lines I’ve had to cross. Once, with Tony’s help, I got past that, it was a very interesting experience.” Click on the link to read the article.
