Video: “On Story: Deconstructing ‘Dog Day Afternoon’”

Screenwriters Peter Craig and Robin Swicord at the Austin Film Festival.

Clicking around online, lo and behold, I found this video featuring Peter Craig (The Town, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Parts 1 and 2) and Robin Swicord (Little Women, Matilda, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) in a panel discussion at the 2014 Austin Film Festival. The discussion: Deconstructing the 1975 movie Dog Day Afternoon for which Frank Pierson won an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.

Interesting piece of trivia related to the panel: I was the moderator! You don’t see me, but there’s an acknowledgement at the end of the video.

“On Story” is an excellent PBS program out of Austin. You can see a whole bunch of episodes online for free by going here.
