The parallel between gangsters and Julianne Moore's Gracie, with 'May December' screenwriter Samy Burch

Without a doubt, one of last year’s greatest writing debuts was that of Samy Burch who wrote the script of May December and co-developed its story with her spouse, Alex Mechanik. They received an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay and won this year’s Independent Spirit Award for Best First Screenplay.
On Oscar Day we are publishing Áron’s interview with Samy, and of course, the episode plunges into the masterfully complex characters and intricate story of May December but before that you can hear them speak a bit about her experience at the Nominees Luncheon, the awards season as a whole and working with her husband.
