This week my guest is producer Jeanie Igoe. Jeanie's big break came when she landed a role at A24, where her credits as a production executive include Barry Jenkins' MOONLIGHT, Trey Edwards Shults', IT COMES AT NIGHT, Bo Burnham's EIGHTH GRADE and Robert Eggers' THE LIGHTHOUSE. She also served as a producer on their TV series RAMY, and a co-producer on David Lowery's THE GREEN KNIGHT. She then launched herself as an independent producer, with her first project MISS JUNETEENTH, the directorial debut from Channing Godfrey Peoples going on to premiere at Sundance and receive a nomination for the Grand Jury Prize. Most recently, Jeanie co-produced CONVERSATIONS WITH FRIENDS alongside Catherine Magee and the team at Element Pictures, including former podcast guest Emma Norton and Development Producer Chelsea Morgan Hoffman who developed Sally Rooney's novel into the series script, alongside the writers. We talk about moving to New York, getting a job at A24 in its fledging years as a company and then being witness to their exponential growth, making the decision to start producing independently, moving back to Ireland, maintaining a work-life balance, how Jeanie creates an atmosphere of collaboration and care on set and adapts her role to the needs of the project and the filmmaker. I hope you enjoy listening to our conversation as much as I did having it.
