Indiewire's Filmmaker Toolkit

One of the big premieres at this year's New York Film Festival is "Hamilton's America," a behind-the-scenes look at Lin Manuel Miranda's search for the history behind his hit musical. Director Alex Horwitz stops by to talk about shadowing Miranda from mixtape to superstar. Afterwards we visit with NYFF's Dennis Lim to discuss Jacques Rivette and the discovery of three of his first shorts, which are playing at the fest. Finally, a recommendation for a new movie every filmmaker should see. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
