My Take
Seth Gordon is one of those filmmakers whose curiosity is his signature. He made his name with The King of Kong, turning a niche arcade-score rivalry into riveting human drama, which tells me he can find a story almost anywhere. A Yale-trained mind who jumps between documentaries, studio comedies, and work for PBS, the Gates Foundation, and the UN suggests genuine range rather than restlessness. What I value most is his affection for ordinary obsession, the way he treats his subjects' quirks as worthy of real attention. That generosity of eye is the throughline I keep returning to.
