Thanks to Alex Gibney, my friend, former boss and heroic filmmaker, for a great session with dozens of the best media pros in our tribe.
You don't need the proof of Academy Awards, Emmys, Grammys, and every other industry accolade to judge the importance of Alex's constant contribution to film, truth, journalism, and the fight for what's right - you just need to watch his work:
Taxi to the Dark Side, Enron, Citizen K, Zero Days, The Inventor, Going Clear on Scientology, We Steal Secrets on Wikileaks, Steve Jobs, The Armstrong Lie, Gonzo on Hunter S. Thompson, The Magic Trip on Ken Kesey, Mea Maxima Culpa on the Catholic Church, The Family, Dirty Money, Why We Hate and then there's all the music films: Frank Sinatra, The Eagles, James Brown, Janis Joplin, Rolling Stone Magazine, Laurel Canyon, and the 8-film series I got to work on with Alex: Martin Scorsese Presents The Blues.
We talked about his films, about his parents, his commitment to independence and teamwork, his new partnership with Ron Howard and Brian Grazer - and Alex shared excellent advice about how to present a winning pitch in the room.
We even talked about 3 upcoming films in the works: one on Tiger Woods and two films not yet announced on Trump.
