SOPRANOS BRAIN SPILLS AT KARLOVY VARY!
David Chase and Oscar-winning producers gather in the Czech Republic for major industry talk—plus Sharon Horgan and bold new filmmaking experiments.
Wanna know what made The Sopranos tick? David Chase is about to tell you! The legendary creator will take the stage July 8 at Karlovy Vary Film Festival's Industry Days in the Czech Republic for a major on-stage conversation about his groundbreaking work, according to Variety and THR Business.
But Chase isn't flying solo—the festival's lining up a SERIOUS lineup of heavy hitters. Oscar-winning producers Greg Shapiro (The Hurt Locker) and Mollye Asher (Nomadland) are both headlining, plus former James Bond casting director Debbie McWilliams, who knows a thing or two about spotting star power. Sharon Horgan (Catastrophe) is also on the agenda, and the festival will dive into everything from microdramas to the future of AI in filmmaking and U.S. film financing.
The fest—running in the picturesque Czech spa town—has become THE place for the industry to gather and hash out where cinema's headed. This year's focus? How filmmakers are adapting, innovating, and keeping their visions alive in a changing landscape. Chase reflecting on decades of small-screen revolution? That's the kind of masterclass you can't miss!
