2016 Austin Film Festival and Conference Schedule

Looking back on Paul Feig’s film and television repertoire, it’s easy to see how much of an impact he’s had on the comedy landscape.

Join this conversation with the 2016 Extraordinary Contribution to Film Award Recipient as he delves into what makes funny funny, revolutionizing gender gaps in mainstream media, and what he’s cooking up next.
