15 ABR. 2022 · The Word with Miranda are joined by Aron Gaudet and Gita Pullapilly, a husband and wife, writing and directing team who discovered the real-life story that inspired their film by searching the remote corners of the internet and landed on a coupon blog that talked about the coupon caper. Gaudet & Pullapilly started to create a niche, collaborating on true stories, most notably the acclaimed, Emmy-nominated feature documentary, The Way We Get By. They then moved into the narrative space with their feature, Beneath The Harvest Sky. It was only natural for their first studio film to come from this same mould. Gita recalls how she discovered the stunning story of the multi-million-dollar coupon scam. Gita and Aron talk about their comedy film QUEENPINS (now streaming on Amazon Prime) how they came across this true story, taking creative liberties in grounding the comedy, collaborating, forging a new path in Hollywood and so much more.   Follow Gita and Miranda on Instagram:   @gitapullapilly @mirandarae007
