Music by Prudence (2010)
Filmmaker Roger Ross Williams breaks down the three IMDb credits that changed his life, including 'Music by Prudence' for which he won the Best Documentary, Short Subjects Academy Award in 2010. Then, Williams discusses his Oscar-nominated feature documentary 'Life, Animated' (2016), before ending with the original short doc that inspired him to make 'Cassandro' (2023), his narrative feature debut that stars Gael García Bernal as the famous "exotico" lucha libre wrestler. This interview was recorded before the SAG-AFTRA strike.

    • Trivia
      Producer Elinor Burkett was removed from production of the documentary after creative differences occurred that resulted in a lawsuit and an out of court settlement. It caused a media frenzy when, in the midst of the televised Oscar ceremony, the 82nd Academy Awards, she interrupted the acceptance speech of producer and director Roger Ross Williams. It was widely touted as the "Kanye Moment" of that year's Oscars, referring to the Kanye West incident at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. Williams had to give his acceptance speech later on CNN, a moment that was also considered awkward by those who've seen the speech.
