Hollywood Is Purging Its Women Execs vanityfair.com/story/layoffs…
I took a look at the way top female studio execs being ousted due to mergers and layoffs, and how it'll hurt the movies Hollywood gets to make and who gets to tell those stories: vanityfair.com/story/layoffs…

Did you see YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING this weekend? I broke down all the spoilers, and even reached out to the NYT about that quote: vanityfair.com/story/spoiler…
So glad others can see this doc and we can all finally talk about it! Just thinking back to when I saw it at Telluride:
One of the funniest anecdotes about last night’s surprise screening in #Telluride: when word started to get out that it was a Nathan Fielder movie, some people were worried the audience/screening might be filmed as part of the doc. vanityfair.com/story/nathan-…
I wrote about the wildest revelations from YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING but I couldn't even capture ever single crazy thing. Warning: SPOILERS! vanityfair.com/story/spoiler…

Though Elizabeth Holmes’s journey from founder and CEO of blood-testing startup Theranos to convicted felon has been told several times, ‘You Can See Everything’ takes viewers on a mind-bending, singular journey. Nathan Fielder uses his signature absurdist tactics, blurring fiction and reality as he creates fascinatingly uncomfortable situations, resulting in a layered story that reveals brand-new information about Holmes and her husband Billy Evans while exploring the nature of truth and storytelling.
The top secret film directed by Fielder and Lance Oppenheim has finally hit theaters. See what shocked Vanity Fair’s @beccamford the most: vanityfair.visitlink.me/CRno…
We are doing a mailbag episode on Little Gold Men soon. Would love your awards season questions! Send them to [email protected]
Happy to report I survived my own personal Hunger Games today and found my way back to my car at the AMC Century City parking lot after a screening.
I got to talk to the breakout of the new SENSE AND SENSIBILITY Esmé Creed-Miles about her disastrous audition, being the daughter of Samantha Morton, and transforming into the wild Miss Marianne: vanityfair.com/story/sense-a…
The LA premiere of You Can See Everything is packed with talent, many of whom are A24 friends. I’ve seen: Hannah Einbinder, Lionel Boyce, Steven Yuen, Gus van Sant, Clea DuVall, Aidy Bryant, Patrick Ball , Jesse Williams, Kieran Shipka

Joseph Zada battled thousands of fellow up-and-comers to nab the role of Haymitch Abernathy in ‘The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping’—and that's not the only way his life imitates his art.

DIGGER is getting bad reviews, but Tom Cruise may still be a part of the Oscar race. If only he can calibrate his campaign right. I dig into the tricky balance of wanting an Oscar but not coming off as "sweaty": vanityfair.com/story/tom-cru…
Joseph Zada is the same age as Jennifer Lawrence was when THE HUNGER GAMES launched her to stardom. I spoke with the star of SUNRISE ON THE REAPING about fame, his name, and the EAST OF EDEN adaptation: vanityfair.com/story/joseph-…

In an exclusive interview with VF's @Beccamford, Aaron Sorkin discusses Mark Zuckerberg, reshoots, lawyers, Mikey Madison, and whether Meta can be redeemed vanityfair.com/story/aaron-s…
I spoke with Aaron Sorkin about THE SOCIAL RECKONING: what had to be changed for legal reasons, reshoots, Mark Zuckerberg, Trump, dachshunds, and much more. vanityfair.com/story/aaron-s…
A24 is re-releasing MOONLIGHT for its 10y anniversary on Oct. 2. It would be so special to see it in theaters again. I spoke with Barry Jenkins about his emotional connection to the film, having to go to therapy after envelopegate, and more: vanityfair.com/story/barry-j…

Jordan Firstman owes his career to banana bread. At the height of the lonely COVID-19 pandemic, the aspiring writer started posting zany impression videos on Instagram: a town gossip who has no gossip during quarantine, the personification of the pronouns they/them, a white person at a protest who can’t chant on beat. But the one that broke the internet was the one where he became the publicist for banana bread, the go-to comfort bake of lockdown.
After rising to internet fame during the pandemic and playing lovable sidekicks on the cult-favorite TV series ‘English Teacher’ and ‘I Love LA,’ Firstman wrote, directed, and stars in ‘Club Kid,’ a sincere coming-of-age dramedy about a hard-partying gay New York City club promoter, Peter (Firstman), who discovers he’s a dad when a 10-year-old boy arrives on his doorstep. It’s a story about growing up in which art imitates life—and nobody has more riding on the project than 35-year-old Firstman, who’s hoping this movie will help him shed his internet personality and lead the industry to take him seriously as a filmmaker.
For Vanity Fair’s New Establishment Issue, @Beccamford caught up with an auteur on the brink—and the colorful cast of his big debut: vanityfair.visitlink.me/uarz…
I profiled Jordan Firstman and the cast of Club Kid and then followed them around for this insanely gorgeous photoshoot in Telluride!
