Your questions for Franklin Leonard

Now that things have settled down a bit around here, I thought it would be a good idea to have a conversation with Franklin. And after discussing it, he and I decided it would be great to include as many people in the GITS community as possible.

As a quick reminder, here is some of Franklin’s background info:

Prior to Overbrook, Franklin was the director of development at Universal Pictures. He has done similar work at the production companies of directors Sydney Pollack and Anthony Minghella, actor Leonardo DiCaprio and former Paramount Pictures president John Goldwyn.
