‘The Invite’ screenwriters Rashida Jones & Will McCormack
Keeps playing with the screen off. The episode is played from Fresh Airβs own podcast host.
The new film, βThe Invite,β directed by Olivia Wilde, offers a portrait of a marriage in middle age, told over the course of one dinner party that spirals out of control. Screenwriters Rashida Jones and Will McCormack have been mining this territory together for decades, while finding the funny inside the painful. βWe are never above a laugh,β Jones says. βThere’s nothing that’s grave enough for us not to laugh about, because that’s how we release. That’s how we process our pain.β They spoke with Tonya Mosley about their creative process and their other films, βCeleste & Jesse Forever,β βQuincy,β and βIf Anything Happens I Love You.βΒ
