CAA is out with THE MAKING OF by Ed Zwick & Marshall Herskovitz. Long-married filmmakers cast overemotional actors to portray their younger selves.

lin-manuel-miranda-feature “When we were prepping the episode, I realized I was not the guy to write this. So I called Jeffrey Sellers, and and I was like, you know I would love to get someone to write this. And I was saying, ‘somebody like Lin-Manuel Miranda,'” Jason Katims told Tracking Board.

Logline: The story focuses on three days in the upper Manhattan neighborhood of Washington Heights, where a bodega owner who inherited his grandmother’s lottery windfall plots his retirement to a Dominican Republic beach. As he bids farewell to his customers on the block, he becomes conflicted about leaving behind a group that has become family.
