Описание: Bill Parker & Rachel Lee Goldenberg interview on Swiped at premiere: Female entrepreneurship, casting Lily James, dating culture & research

Rachel Lee Goldenberg and producer Bill Parker discuss the inspiration behind their film Swiped, which charts the extraordinary path of entrepreneur Whitney Wolfe Herd. Goldenberg reflects on her interest in Wolfe Herd’s resilience in turning personal adversity into professional success, particularly as a woman navigating a male-dominated tech industry. Parker highlights the importance of telling a story that will connect with anyone familiar with dating apps, and outlines the extensive research conducted to maintain authenticity despite legal restrictions on contacting Wolfe Herd directly. Goldenberg emphasises the collaboration with star and producer Lily James, commending her dedication to portraying Wolfe Herd through thorough research and preparation. The filmmakers address the challenges of recreating a time when dating apps were considered taboo and consider the changing landscape of online dating. Ultimately, Goldenberg and Parker hope Swiped encourages discussion about culture, complicity, and gender dynamics in both tech and society more broadly.
