Matt Tyrnauer is an award-winning documentary filmmaker whose acclaimed works include the Oscar-shortlisted VALENTINO: THE LAST EMPEROR, STUDIO 54, and WHERE'S MY ROY COHN? Chef Nobuyuki "Nobu" Matsuhisa is a globally renowned Japanese chef who revolutionized modern cuisine by blending traditional Japanese techniques with Peruvian ingredients. His partnership with Robert De Niro created the Nobu empire, which now encompasses over 50 restaurants and 15 hotels worldwide. This pairing brings together Tyrnauer's intimate documentary storytelling with Matsuhisa's extraordinary journey from a troubled youth in Japan to global culinary icon, with Tyrnauer's upcoming documentary NOBU capturing the chef's philosophy and relentless pursuit of culinary perfection. In this interview, we talk about Tyranuer’s approach to documentary filmmaking and Chef Nobu's philosophy and creativity. We also talk about mentorship and passing on knowledge, personal reflections and emotional moments during the film, and much more. Want more?
