Director of the upcoming film Weiner, Josh Kriegman, started working with subject Anthony Weiner long before he began making a film about him. He sat down with the Hollywood reporter to talk about his reasoning behind making the film. Kriegman stated, "That's how I got to know him and got to see what a dynamic and interesting person that he is. After he resigned from congress and after his scandal, that was when I started talking to him about making a film, and the conversation went from there." He continued, ?We were interested in trying to see if there?s a way to get at some more of the nuance and reality beyond the headlines to show some of the full person that I had gotten to know.?
