GARDEN STATE: How Pam Abdy Relied on Her Roots to Make this Indie Gem

Producer Pam Abdy takes us behind the scenes of the 2004 indie hit GARDEN STATE and recounts the trials and triumphs of the production. From the challenges of working with a first-time director, the creative risks that paid off, to the soundtrack—curated by Braff himself—that became a defining element of the movie and helped capture the essence of the millennial spirit. 20 years after the release of the film, she reminisces on the unexpected success of the film and why she thinks it became such a defining cultural touchstone for a generation.
