ABOUT THE SHOW: Created and hosted by Anthony and Joe Russo, Pizza Film School is a video podcast that demystifies the filmmaking process and spreads some love to the Russo Brothers’ favorite films, filmmakers, and local pizzerias. Class is in session with the Russos as they dive deep behind-the-scenes with some of the industry’s top filmmakers, all while enjoying a slice or two of pizza. An AGBO Production.

Season I focused on the craft of screenwriting, Season II picks up right where we left off, but this time, it’s all about the art of directing. Also new this season, both the pizza tasting and the discussions are recorded in person at the AGBO headquarters in downtown Los Angeles.

ABOUT THE EPISODE: Pieces jump started the Russo Brothers career, catching the attention of legendary director Steven Soderbergh at its Slamdance premiere in 1997. However, the Russo Brothers directorial debut has never been released to the public. This episode of Pizza Film School contains the most footage that has ever been shown, accompanied with keen insight on not only how Pieces was made, along with some tips on pursuing a career in filmmaking.
