Barbara Muschietti-Part 2
So excited to continue part 2 of my chat with Barbara Muschietti this week. If you missed part 1, I highly recommend giving that a listen before diving into this one.
Barbara produced the record-breaking box office hit “IT,” an adaptation of the Stephen King Novel. IT, CHAPTER TWO premiered this past weekend bringing in $185 million world wide.
Prior to IT, Barbara produced/co-wrote the feature film MAMA, based on the short film of the same name. The film starred Jessica Chastain and had Guillermo del Toro as the executive producer. It was one of the top earners of 2013.
What’s unique and special about Barbara is that she has worked with her brother, writer/director Andy Muschietti, for over two decades. They have collaborated on all of their projects, across film, TV, and commercials.
They owned a commercial/TV production company in Spain called Toma 78, where she produced hundreds of commercials for clients like Coca Cola, Mercedes, Pepsico, Ford, and the California Lottery.
This week, we talk about making yourself indispensable, what terrifies her, and why taking breaks is crucial.
Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on this week’s episode!
