Jason Reitman
in Tavis Smiley by Tavis Smiley, 23 January 2008
Jason Reitman comes from a Hollywood family, but his small personal films, such as the Oscar-nominated Juno, defy the conventions of the show business machine. Growing up with father Ivan Reitman, Jason claims that his approach to film-making was much more practical because his childhood experiences prepared him for the realities of the job. Juno resonates, Reitman says, because it's a drama about becoming an adult -- though its huge success shocked even his family. Instead of big-budget films, Reitman thoughtfully states that his body of work needs significance, but mockingly goes on to predicts his sell-out in 10 years, adding some levity to the interview.
