On the release of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty in India today, here is an interview with producer Stuart Cornfeld (AFI class of 1975) who has worked with directors Mel Brooks, Peter Bogdanovich, David Cronenberg, Guillermo Del Toro, Amy Heckerling, David Lynch, Steven Soderburgh and Ben Stiller, among others. For the last 15 years, Cornfeld has been Ben Stiller’s partner in Red Hour Films. Their company’s priority is to work with first time directors, which they have done in films like Dodgeball, Blades of Glory and Submarine.
