Description: In this edition of THE CALL-IN, @AFFRM founder Ava DuVernay has a casual conversation with RIDE ALONG director Tim Story about navigating the studio system, collaborating with screenwriters and recharging the creative batteries. Listen here and share!

Nice to hear Ride Along's agenda was 'not so corporate'...

"I know what we do and do not need"... LOVING this interview!

Is blocking also rehearsed during the rehearsal process?

Tim Story has been slept-on for such a long time, but he's just a really really solid versatile director. Glad he's gettin his shine.

Tim took a lot of heat for Fantastic Four, but it that movie just fell flat on the page from jump. and with the glut of comicbook flix he was in a rough spot.

Listenign to Story talk budgets... bruh he ain't never lied. i saw the headaches of getting approvals just doing commercials. i can only imagine the nightmares on a major Hollywood production.

great interview... insights of working filmmakers remain truly invaluable for us rebels and upstarts! Thanks again Ava! Go #AFFRM!!!

Amazing.  Great questions and answers to think about.
