Italian filmmakers Roberto de Paolis and Carlo Lavagna venture to Rome’s decaying and dramatic Cinecittá Studios to talk with one of Hollywood’s most celebrated and controversial players, Paul Haggis, in today’s illuminating short. The screenwriter behind Clint Eastwood’s Million Dollar Baby and director of the intense, multiple Academy Award-winning Crash took questions from the playful filmmaking duo on the set of his newest movie, The Third Person, starring James Franco and Mila Kunis. Divulging personal insecurities and pulling apart actor-director relationships, Haggis speaks frankly about the obstacles he encountered in creating the movie. The Third Person is a more intimate affair for Haggis, attempting to get to the root of the mystery of relationships in a narrative that homes in on three interlocking love stories. Haggis himself is shrouded in Hollywood mythology and also part of a very public break up with the church of Scientology after 35 years of service. De Paolis and Lavagna were surprised to find him so open in the interview: “He’s a mix of sensitivity and self-confidence,” Lavagna says.
