“Anora” is our latest Oscar Best Picture winner. At the 97th Academy Awards, Sean Baker’s film won 5 awards in total, including Best Director, Actress for Mikey Madison, Original Screenplay, and Film Editing. Co-producer Alex Coco was kind enough following the awards season to sit with us and reflect on the Best Picture win, the reaction from audiences towards the movie for good and for bad, and what the win means for the state of independent cinema moving forward, which can be listened to or watched down below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now available to stream on Hulu and will be available to purchase through the Criterion Collection on April 29th. Thank you, and enjoy!
