We talk to the fascinating Matthew Carnahan.
He tells us about his early work with Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, why he didn't want to work in TV and how he broke in to that world.
He talks passionately about choosing meaningful projects over money, the joys of a successful project and the anger at the death of that same project.
Matt talks about his early-career rage, losing projects to strikes, executive firings and bad luck and the things that bring him career satisfaction.
