Fashion Issue

Set for September 11th release, The September Issue, directed and produced by R.J. Cutler, tells the storey of legendary Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour and her larger-than-life team of editors creating the September 2007 issue of Vogue magazine which weighed nearly five pounds and was the single largest issue of a magazine ever published. Cutler's documentary won the Grand Jury Prize for Excellence in Cinematography at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival for process of assembling this high-profile magazine suspense thriller. R.J. was on hand this evening after the screening for a fascinating Q&A on the making of the film and working with legendary Anna Wintour. He secured significant cooperation from the famously secretive editor! For a retrospective on R.J. Cutler's work at The Paley Center, August 6 - 9, visit http://www.paleycenter.org/
