Summary

"Marty Supreme" is an American sports comedy-drama film that had its world premiere at the 2025 New York Film Festival as a surprise screening, where it received widespread critical acclaim for its direction, screenplay, performances, casting, score, production design, and editing. Ever since then, the Next Best Picture team has been conducting a series of interviews with nearly everyone associated with the film, which we're proud to share with you below. First up, we have my interview with the film's co-producer, director, co-writer, and co-editor, Josh Safdie, followed by Giovanni Lago's interview with co-producer, co-writer, and co-editor Ronald Bronstein, then we have Cody Dericks's interview with one of the film's stars, Gwyneth Paltrow, followed by Giovanni's interview with another one of the film's stars, Odessa A'zion. Then we have my interview with the film's casting director, Jennifer Venditti. Next, we have Giovanni's series of interviews with cinematographer Darius Khondji, production designer Jack Fisk, and composer Daniel Lopatin. And then we finish with my interview with the film's supervising sound editor, re-recording mixer, and sound designer, Skip Lievsay. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters from A24, and is up for your consideration for this year's Academy Awards in all eligible categories. Thank you, and enjoy!
