‘Cheer,’ ‘Last Chance U’ director Greg Whitely on filmmaking

Erin and Greg Whiteley are collaborating on a new show.Devin Keebler On Christmas Eve in 2006, Greg Whiteley, camera in hand, knocked on the door of Mitt Romney’s cabin in Park City. He wasn’t totally sure whether he’d be welcomed in or thrown out. That night Romney gathered with his family to discuss his potential run for president, and Whiteley knew he wanted to be there. “I remember thinking that sounds like a really great beginning to a film,” Whiteley tells me over lunch at a country club near his Laguna Beach, California, home.

Veganaversary Solstice Prep!
