Before Emmy award-winning filmmaker, writer, and actor Mark Duplass made a name for himself, he dreamed of producing a “genre-less anthology” series. His vision came to fruition with HBO’s Room 104. Created by Mark and Jay Duplass (HBO’s Animals and Togetherness), the late-night, half-hour anthology series tells a unique and unexpected tale of the characters who pass through a single room of a typical American chain motel. While the setting stays the same, every episode of the series features a different story, with the tone, plot, characters, and even the time period, changing with each installment. Join Duplass and Room 104 executive producer and director Sydney Fleischmann to talk about their passion project’s final season and what they have learned throughout their creative process. This program will be moderated by Collider Film, TV & Theme Parks senior reporter Christina Radish. This program was livestreamed on September 28, 2020.
