Fruitvale Station was released 10 years ago this month. This was Ryan Coogler's first feature film and it's how he met fellow Bay Area director Pete Nicks. On this episode, they discuss meeting on Fruitvale Station, directing fiction and nonfiction films, the idea of "naive audacity," and Pete's Oakland trilogy; and collaborating on Proximity's latest releases directed by Pete and produced by Ryan and our partners: Anthem, a musical journey across the U.S. experimenting to reimagine the National Anthem, and Stephen Curry: Underrated, a remarkable coming-of-age story about one of the most influential and unexpected players in basketball history. At the end, they answer listener questions and share their Prox Recs.
