Director George C. Wolfe talked with HFPA journalist Ana Maria Bahiana to discuss his new adaptation of the August Wilson play Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, how its setting in 1927 Chicago distinguishes it from Wilson's other work, and the transformation of star Viola Davis as she took on the eponymous Ma Rainey. They also discuss the difference between directing for film and stage, working with the late Chadwick Boseman, how the arts will bounce back after COVID-19, Brazillian culture, and more.
