Reading Amy Pascal

Our editors on the work, the patterns and the reason this body of work holds together.

Why this filmmaker matters

Amy Pascal has 0 productions in the Nutevio catalogue. Amy Pascal (born March 25, 1958) is an American film producer and business executive. She served as the chairperson of the Motion Pictures Group of Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE) and co-chairperson of SPE, including Sony Pictures Television, from 2006 until 2015. She has overseen the production and distribution of many films and television programs and was co-chairperson during the 2014 Sony Pictures hack. The leak uncovered multiple emails from Pascal that were deemed racist, including racial jokes aimed at then-President Barack Obama. She left Sony, and Pascal later admitted that she was fired from the company. Pascal started her own production company, Pascal Pictures, which made its debut with the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot. In 2017, she produced Spider-Man: Homecoming, Molly's Game, and The Post. She has received two Academy Award nominations for Best Picture nominations for producing The Post and Little Women and a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature for producing Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.

Signature style

The recognisable elements are rewatchability, visual style, originality. Watch two of these films back to back and the method separates from the material — the same eye, re-tuned for different registers. It is a style built on what is withheld as much as what is staged.

Legacy

Pascal set terms other filmmakers now work against: the structures, the pacing and the refusal to explain. Awards bodies have often been slower than the work, which is usually the sign of a career built on choices rather than campaigns.
