About the Filmographers Podcast
The Filmographers Podcast studies a director’s entire career, one film at a time. Each episode examines how a single film succeeded or failed, always considering it in the context of the time it was released.
Hosts Michael Moreci and Keir Graff are film obsessives and working writers. Moreci is a screenwriter, film director, and the bestselling author of such comics as Barbaric, The Plot, and Star Wars. Graff is a prolific author, editor, and ghostwriter whose collaborators include James Patterson and Linda Joffe Hull (writing as Linda Keir).
In their second season, they give the close-up to the legendary Billy Wilder, director of Sunset Boulevard, Double Indemnity, Some Like It Hot, The Apartment, and other classics of American cinema.

The Pitch
Billy Wilder’s chillingly cold-blooded satire of Hollywood is one of his finest films — and indeed arguably one of the greatest movies of the period.
