I’ve known producerSean McKittrickfor many years. And while I tried and tried to get him to do an interview to talk about producing films likeDonnie Darko,Southland Tales,World’s Greatest Dad,Bad Words, or a number of other movies, he always resisted, preferring to let the work speak for itself. However, as one of the main people responsible forJordan Peele’sfantastic movieGet Outbeing made, he finally agreed to sit down with me to talk aboutGet Outand what else his company QC Entertainment is working on.
During the wide-ranging conversation he discussed how he got into producing, his early work onDonnie DarkoandSouthland Tales, how a coffee meeting with Jordan Peele let to them makingGet Out, how the financing came together and working with Blumhouse, the secret screening at Sundance, producingWorld’s Great Dad,and so much more. In addition, McKittrick talked about future projects like executive producingDavid Wain’sA Futile & StupidGesturewhich Netflix is releasing later this year,Ellen Burstyn’sdirectorial debutBathing Flo, andMichael Sheen’sdirectorial debutGreen River Killer.
