A month after the 2020 Presidential election, I was in the White House, waiting to interview Donald Trump . He hadn't given any interviews throughout November, so I wasn't feeling particularly anxious because I didn't think he was going to turn up. Then, as we were setting up, we heard a Secret Service agent in the corridor say, "Mogul on the move," which was Trump's code name. I was like, "Oh my God, he's actually coming." I filmed a documentary on the Trump family from the end of August 2020 until the summer of 2021. We set out to understand who the Trumps were and what they wanted to achieve, through interviews with the family and staff. But what I love about documentaries is that you never know what's going to happen next. Our filming coincided with the 2020 election campaign, as well as the subsequent events of January 6, so that became the spine of the project. I experienced things that most people would never get a chance to experience—from traveling in the motorcade with … [Read more...] about “I made a Trump documentary, this is what he’s like behind-the-scenes”
