The "Queen of the Indies," as TIME magazine famously called her, reflects on the rewards and challenges of being so associated with independent film, what eventually led her to begin dabbling in studio films and TV, and how it felt, with the latest season of Mike White's HBO drama series, to finally find herself at the center of a project that found itself at the center of the cultural conversation.

Lucy Liu - 'Rosemead' [LIVE]
In front of an audience in the Campari Lounge at the Locarno Film Festival, the trailblazing actress reflects on breaking into the business on TV's 'Ally McBeal,' becoming a movie star via the 'Charlie's Angels' and 'Kill Bill' films, and why her latest project, an indie that she produced and in which she plays a Chinese immigrant trying to protect her troubled American-born son, is so close to her heart.

Seth Rogen - 'The Studio'
One of the most influential comedic talents of his generation reflects on coming from Vancouver to Hollywood as a teenager, the backstories of
the crude but heartfelt and largely improvised film comedies that made him a multi-hyphenate star ('Knocked Up' and 'Superbad'), his occasional forays into drama ('Steve Jobs' and 'The Fabelmans') and how his own misadventures in Hollywood ('The Green Hornet' and 'The Interview') informed his hit Apple TV+ series about contemporary Hollywood.
