Oscar-winning writer Diablo Cody (Juno, Young Adult) directs a feature film and finds it not for her. She talks honestly about not wanting to be an ‘authority figure’ and about the stress of balancing directing with mothering. Filmmaker James Toback talks about how and why he made his HBO movie Seduced & Abandoned with Alec Baldwin.
