Barry Sonnenfeld in Conversation with Kelly Ripa: Best Possible Place, Worst Possible Time

Barry Sonnenfeld
Best Possible Place, Worst Possible Time book cover

Join award-winning filmmaker Barry Sonnenfeld with Kelly Ripa on his extraordinary career and life in Hollywood—and his new book, Best Possible Place, Worst Possible Time.

From hits like Men in Black and The Addams Family to critical sensations like Get Shorty and Pushing Daisies, Barry Sonnenfeld found a unique place in the Hollywood firmament — a darkly comic auteur making bold, wildly popular blockbusters. In his new memoir, he tells his Hollywood story — a behind-the-scenes look at how movies get made, and how they can crash and burn. Hear him and Kelly Ripa in a candid, wildly entertaining conversation about Sonnenfeld’s career, stories from the set, where Hollywood is headed next, and the eternal charm of going to the movies.

Autographed / pre-signed books will be available for sale at the event.
