Hello! I’m Mark Olsen and welcome to our first 2021 edition of the newsletter companion to “The Envelope: The Podcast,” where my cohost Yvonne Villarreal and I bring you highlights from each week’s episode.
As pieces looking back on 2020 give way to thinking about what’s ahead for 2021, Ashley Lee wrote a thoughtful essay onCountless projects have roots in theater, whether it be adaptations of stage pieces like “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” or pinching performers with roots in the theater. And now, Lee proposes, it is time for Hollywood to give back, to find ways to support the institutions of the theater at a time when many of them are struggling. As she writes, “if Hollywood is going to continue reaping the creative benefits of the theater — the actors’ training, the ambitious storytelling, the characters fleshed out over countless rewrites — it bears an obligation, artistic and moral, to assist the theater in its time of need.
“This was like your two dream projects happening at the same time,” he said. “I was like, ‘I’m going to make it work or die trying, and I’m never doing this again.’ I was like, ‘I’ll never pull double duty like this ever again because of how hard it is. But if we pull both of these films off, it will have been worth it.’”Thanks for reading/listening/subscribing. We have lots more to come.
