Influencers had free reign on the Women Talking step and repeat before the more significant talent arrived. Kathy was next to me. Not a particularly ideal situation given she’s loud and can be strident for those knows her best. Looking at the influencers I was charmed by their youth and enthusiasm. I believe this movie, Women Talking, could be an Oscar contender. There was some good talent supposed to arrive that night. It was nice that Kat Kramer made it. Of course, by the time she arrived the carpet had created a momentum of its own and people were being moved along quickly. A short while after Kat arrived out oof the blue Olivia Wilde made a unannounced surprise walk on the carpet. It got really crazy for a while as she walked. Frances McDormand then appeared and the energy went up again. I was told Frances doesn’t like to pose and she didn’t. All my shots of her were in moments and movements. I think she’d been better served had she posed because photographers keep shooting no matter the circumstances. But the photos of Frances are revelatory in their own right. Lat met up with Eric Idle and Cynthia Ervo. Both didn’t walk. All the photographers would have loved had they walked. Brad Pitt is executive producer on the film. It was a particularly special night I’m glad I was there to document it. #samuelgoldwyntheater #womentalking #beverlyhills #wilshirecorridor #womeninfilm #influncers (at Samuel Goldwyn Theater) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClJ9kYdykF0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
