Summary

"The Dropout" was one of the most talked-about shows of the year with its mesmerizing, transformative performance from Amanda Seyfried in the lead role of Elizabeth Holmes. One of the standout episodes from the show was episode 6, "Iron Sisters." The director of that episode, Francesca Gregorini, is nominated for Outstanding Directing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie at the year's Primetime Emmy awards, making her the only female nominated in the category. She was kind enough to spend a few minutes talking with us about her episode, working with Seyfried, how she feels about her Emmy nomination, and of course, what's to come next for her in the future. We hope you enjoy the conversation. Thank you. Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
