The Five Star Weekend

Last year, I got a call about directing a behind-the-scenes round table for Peacock's The Five Star Weekend featuring Jennifer Garner, Regina Hall, Gemma Chan, Chloë Sevigny, and D'Arcy Carden.

I immediately checked the book out of the library and read it the same day.

My goal was to create a relaxed space and guide the conversation about the series, their characters and the friendships at its heart. As expected, the cast made it easy - their warmth, humor and personal connection took it to the next level.

I was fortunate to collaborate with Director of Photography, Cristina Dunlap, who is an absolute gem of an artist and human being to work alongside. The show's producers and team were also incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout the process, offering support, access, and generosity that made the production run smoothly and made the experience a pleasure from start to finish.

A huge thanks to the Peacock Marketing Team for inviting me to take part.
