Bunny: How Zoe Kravitz Changed Everything | Collider BTS

Sarah Sarandos (producer) and Ben Jacobson (writer/director/actor) take us inside the making of Bunny—from scraping it together in New York to the day Zoe Kravitz sat with them until a pivotal bedroom scene finally clicked. If you’re into indie filmmaking war stories and how tone gets found on set, this one’s for you.

In this smart, candid Collider interview, the team details how years of writing led to a 20-day shoot that demanded constant adaptation—rewrites in hallways, a last-minute rooftop pivot, and a street run through Tompkins Square Park. They share what they learned watching Kravitz direct Blink Twice, how Eric Roth offered invaluable script notes (then popped in for a quick cameo), and why securing a real Calvin Klein billboard became their trickiest location solve. It’s a grounded “how we actually did it” conversation: collaboration over ego, protecting the crew, and remembering Bunny is a comedy even on the sweatiest days.
