Listen: Podcast with Clea DuVall, Writer, Director, and Star of “The Intervention”

“The Intervention”

Women and Hollywood spoke with Clea DuVall, writer, director, and star of “The Intervention.” DuVall has been acting on screen for 20 years, with credits including “Veep,” “American Horror Story,” “Heroes,” “Argo,” “Girl, Interrupted,” and “But I’m a Cheerleader.” She makes her feature directorial debut with “The Intervention,” an ensemble comedy that made its World Premiere at Sundance earlier this year.

DuVall shared that she wrote the film for one of its stars, her longtime best friend Melanie Lynskey (“Togetherness”). She said that she’s “always loved writing,” even as a child, but did less writing as she launched her acting career.

“The Intervention” centers around four couples who go on a weekend getaway together. The trip has been orchestrated to stage an intervention for one of the couples, whose dysfunctional relationship is causing awkwardness and concern among their friends.

Listen below via SoundCloud or on iTunes to hear more about DuVall’s career trajectory, her advice for aspiring female filmmakers, and why she loves playing “weirdos.”

“The Intervention” opens August 26.
