'The Bear' Creator Influenced Molly Gordon's Goals for the 'Theater Camp' Set
[Editor's note: This interview was recorded prior to the SAG strike.]A “private creator” no more. After spending a good deal of time developing ideas and keeping them to herself, Molly Gordon makes her feature film writing, directing, and producing debut on Theater Camp, an achievement that will hopefully pave the way to continued work behind the lens with original ideas.
Gordon’s resume is packed with unforgettable titles including the TNT series Animal Kingdom, the 2019 big-screen gem Booksmart, Good Boys, Life of the Party, and then some. However, when talking about the experience of “breaking out” in Hollywood, Gordon insisted it doesn’t feel like she has just yet. The closest she’s come though? Being on a hugely popular, widely acclaimed series — The Bear.
“A job doesn't lead to another job. Yes, people are more aware of you, but it's kind of this clean slate every single time you go into an audition or a self tape. They might have seen you in something that they liked, but also they have a vision of what the character is and you just might not fit that. That's the biggest thing I had to sit with. I'm now like 10 years into this career, like, ‘Oh, it’s just so not about me.
“Chris Storer, the director of The Bear and the creator, I worked with him on Ramy about five years ago. I worked only three days on that show, but it was the most special experience. I have always dreamed of returning back to that home. He treats every member of the crew like they're the most important person there, the caterer, the hairdresser, the actor, every single person.
Ultimately, that was the best possible approach because Theater Camp’s camper cast, including Bailee Bonick, Donovan Colan, Luka Islam, and more, not only appear to be effortless improvisers but also successfully turn characters with limited screen time into memorable forces with inspiring drives and goals.
