Middleburg welcomes back Lee Daniels, the writer, director and co-creator of Empire, Fox Television’s blockbuster original series. Daniels was previously at MFF in 2013 with his critically acclaimed film, The Butler.
Daniels will talk about his creative process and influences, pushing the edge of the envelope, and breaking down racial and LGBT stereotypes — and what’s next for him in both film and television.
Hosting this fascinating conversation with Daniels is John Horn, host of KPCC’s The Frame, a daily arts and entertainment program from Los Angeles on the nation’s no. 1 public radio station.
