"The biggest lesson I learned on both of those projects was that a filmmaker's job isn't done when you're finished making the movie," Zemeckis shared. "You have to really get involved in the marketing. I still remember the first marketing meeting for 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand' where this guy said, 'So, what do you want us to do?' I thought, 'Uh, oh, this is a thing, I have to go home and start thinking of some TV spots.' I realized then that the studio really wasn't some big happy family where everybody was watching everybody else's back. Just because you were making a movie at a studio didn't mean the studio had any interest in it."
What Is Here About?
