"Maestro" is one of the year's most well-crafted films, both on the page and up on the screen. Following our behind-the-scenes interviews with more people involved in making the film, Ema Sasic got some time with Oscar-nominated co-writer Josh Singer, and Dan Bayer spoke with Oscar-nominated cinematographer Matthew Libatique. Each had stories to tell regarding working with director Bradley Cooper, honoring Leonard Bernstein's legacy, crafting an unconventional biopic compared to many others that are out there, and more. Please give both a listen and be sure to check out the film, which is available to stream on Netflix and is up for your consideration at this year's Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Cinematography. Thank you, and enjoy!
