Everything Is Copyprofiles the life of Nora Ephron, the writer/director who was known for her acerbic wit and whose films include such cultural touchstones asSilkwood,When Harry Met Sally, andSleepless in Seattle. Written and directed by her son, Jacob Bernstein, the 89-minute film is Bernstein’s personal investigation into his mother’s favorite motto, “Everything is copy”—a philosophy that all that happens in life, good and bad,is fodder for comedy. The film charts Ephron’s career, starting from an early stint as a reporter for theNew York Postto regular columnist forEsquire, theNew York TimesandCosmopolitan; her rise to become one of Hollywood’s most sought-after writer/directors; as well as her high-profile relationshipswith celebrities in Hollywood and in the literary world; and, in her later years,her diagnosis of myelodysplasticsyndrome—an illness she kept largely a secret until her death in 2012.Everything Is Copyalso features intimate interviews with many of those closest to Ephron, including her sisters Delia, Amy and Hallie,along with friends Meryl Streep,Meg Ryan, Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg and many others. In addition, Ephron’s words come to life through video and audio clips of Ephron, and through dramatic readings of her essays by Reese Witherspoon, Lena Dunham and others.
