Kyle Marvin (80 for Brady)
In his directorial debut, Kyle Marvin guided not only four of the greatest actors of all time — Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno, and Sally Field — but also the GOAT football player in NFL history, who had never really acted before. He also juggled the interests of Endeavor Content, Brady's 199 Productions, many producers, and the NFL. And yet he somehow managed an inspirational, feel-good movie that even the hard-to-impress New York Times calls "stubbornly charming."Also, here's a terrific piece about the press tour for Marvin's last film, The Climb, and another great piece about how Kyle Marvin and his creative partner, Michael Angelo Covino, made their Sundance hit on a very tight budget.
