Every producer has a story to tell when it comes to revealing the challenges they faced when making an awards-worthy movie, but it was Weapons‘ Miri Yoon who hit the nail on the head during a celebration Saturday for this year’s PGA Awards nominees for Theatrical Motion Picture.
“Everything’s hard. Producing is hard. It is ghetto. It is difficult. There are problems to fix every damn day. It never ends,” Yoon said during a panel at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills. “Even with us, it was like with a lot of people on this panel. We had a cast, we had a budget, we had a schedule. We’re ready to go. The strike hit. We had to rebuild the entire cast. We were shooting in beautiful, wonderful Atlanta, with an incredible crew, but in the dead ass of summer, while we were trying to be the fall in the Pacific Northwest. And then we had kids, 17 of them, and their parents.”
