The Treatment
Chris Rock Chris Rock's first film as actor and director, Head of State, was a comedy about a black presidential candidate. His newest, I Think I Love My Wife, is, for him, even more political, a romantic comedy about the black middle class. He'll see if he can get your vote.

The Treatment
James Sanders The book, Scenes from the City: Filmmaking in New York, is not only a sumptuous and evocative photo-history of New York filmmaking, it's a sharp and compelling look at city's cultural and social history through cinema. Its editor, James Sanders (co-writer or the Emmy Award-winning PBS series New York: A Documentary Film and its companion volume, New York: An Illustrated History, as well as Celluloid Skyline: New York and the Movies), connects the dots, from Marlon Brando to Woody Allen.
The Treatment
George Miller There's not as big a gap between the Mad Max cycle of films, the Babe movie and Happy Feet as you might think. They all come from filmmaker George Miller, whose instincts as a entertainer also connect to using film as fable. He discusses the difference between making film for kids and for adults.
The Treatment
Christine Vachon Christine Vachon, one of most prolific forces in independent films, has opened the door for some of the most singular talent in movies.
