, the Sundance sensation about Russell Simmons accusers, which is set to premiere on HBO Max. Garbus is the director of the Emmy-nominatedTheir company emerged from the nonfiction renaissance that has bloomed in the age of streaming, with Garbus weighing more opportunities than she could feasibly direct herself and with Cogan noticing a shift in the marketplace that made him wonder if Impact, a pure financing company, should add a production arm.
Garbus now relies on virtual edit rooms in Zoom, where she passes along detailed, time-coded notes. Despite communicating through a computer screen, she believes in keeping work sessions as free-form as possible. "Casualness is important, because when you walk away and you get yourself something to eat and then come back and your mouth is full of food, that’s probably the time that you have some really good idea," she says.
Since the pandemic began, Cogan says Story Syndicate has taken on two unannounced features "related to this current moment." He says, "One of the things about being a nonfiction producer in this moment is it allows you to focus on what is really important, and what can I do about it? What is a story that I can tell to make a difference? Which allows you to at least feel more active and not feel completely sidelined by the horror that we’re all going through.
