Pamela Koffler, one of the producers of Past Lives, talks to Alex Zane about her journey from discovering Celine Song’s script in the depth of the pandemic, to surmounting challenges in production: including coordinating travel visas and facing a flood on set.

Pamela’s expertise in championing new directors and writers led her to Celine Song, whose journey from theatre to film led to interesting directorial choices in the shoot.
