Morgan Neville on making “Lorne”
from Melissa Rivers' Group Text Podcast · host Hurrdat Media
In his new documentary, “Lorne” (in theaters April 17th), director Morgan Neville dives deep into the career of Lorne Michaels who in 1975 created “Saturday Night Live,” and serves as the show’s executive producer to this day. The only problem was, a documentary about him was the last thing Lorne Michaels wanted. Morgan talks to me about what it took to get to heart of Lorne Michael’s career and persona; how making “Lorne” was a bit like making a nature documentary; where his filmmaking inspiration comes from, and how he gained access to some of Lorne Michaels’ most private and sacred spaces. This is another Hurrdat Media Production. Hurrdat Media is a podcast network and digital media production company based in Omaha, NE.
