Summary

"Vengeance" marks the feature directorial debut of television's "The Office" star, writer, and director B.J. Novak. The film premiered earlier this year at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City and is being released this weekend by Focus Features. Novak was kind enough to spend a few minutes talking with me about making the transition from directing on television to film, his thoughts on Whataburger compared to other fast food burger restaurants, the themes of his screenplay, and more.
