Pee Wee As Himself Director On Paul Reubens Decision To Come Out In HBO Doc I Was Proud Of Him Sundance Studio

Key quotes: “I think he had decided that he wanted to come out in the documentary, and I wanted to help him do that. And I was proud of him for doing that on his own terms. We’re of different generations —
I’m gay and I’ve made a lot of films about queer history, and I empathize with and really respect generational differences around that. And it was at once a source of connection and tension between Paul and I, but I thought that he did a beautiful job coming out in the film.” – Matt Wolf
On the conflict over the creative direction and collaboration on the documentary: “There was certainly a power struggle between Paul and I, and the relationship was thrilling, and it could also be very contentious, but I empathized with Paul and I understood where he was coming from. .

It’s a bit much, but that’s the joke: he’s the dad who loves too much, and Jen...
