Reading Time: < 1 minuteJames Schamus and Cary Fukunaga are longtime friends, and their rapport was on full display when the two sat down at the Tribeca Film Festival yesterday. Schamus, accomplished producer and former CEO of Focus Features, called Fukunaga a “rising superstar” and promised the panel would cover more ground than the final episode of True Detective Season 1. The duo had some interesting experiences to share about the process of shooting a behemoth award-winning television series:
