Following Films Podcast: UNCHARITABLE director Stephen Gyllenhaal

  Thank you for listening to this episode of the FOLLOWING FILMS podcast. A movie podcast that takes you on a weekly journey into the world of cinema and the minds of the talented individuals who shape it. I'm your host, Chris Maynard, and today I’m joined by UNCHARITABLE director Stephen Gyllenhaal.

The film leaves one with hope and a roadmap for the future. UNCHARITABLE will be released in theaters September 22nd in New York and September 29th in Los Angeles, before beginning its nationwide rollout.
