Charlie and Duke Johnson talk "Anomalisa" in Variety

It's a fairly short article. The choice snippets:

[Duke] had just graduated from film school at NYU and finally he had a clear direction for what he wanted to do with his life. “I literally said it was my dream in life to direct a Charlie Kaufman movie."

[...]

Funding fell through for “Frank and Francis,” a musical focused on the film industry and bloggers particularly. “I’ve been trying for a really long time to get it to happen but there’s no one knocking down the door to make it,” Kaufman said.

[...]

“I said to Dino, ‘If you can raise the money, sure,’” he said, never having expected the $400,000 Stamatopoulos was able to cobble together through crowd-funding site Kickstarter. “Then Duke and I sort of set about the task of trying to figure out how to translate this thing that was explicitly designed to not be seen (into a film).” (Source)
