Posted Austin Film Festival Interview: Paul Feig, Creator of Freaks and Geeks to Austinist
Paul Feig, creator of
Freaks and Geeks and director of every-other-critically-acclaimed-show-that-the-cool-kids-love, came to bedazzle a number of extremely lucky panels at the
Austin Film Festival this weekend. On top of marrying Jim and Pam on
The Office a few weeks ago, Feig is currently directing Showtime’s
Nurse Jackie and HBO’s
Bored to Death in New York. Given that Feig’s
X-Men ability is apparently multitasking (have you
read his books or figured out that he’s a
Twitter connoisseur yet), Austinist tracked the incredibly charismatic man down for a series of questions at the Stephen F. Austin hotel.
Note: Paul was kind enough to provide actual detailed answers and anecdotes to each question, so we decided to forgo editing out...pretty much anything. In fact, scratch out
interview because this is now deemed
Storytime with Paul Feig.
