As a Broadway producer, James Stern has won Tony Awards for “The Producers” and “Hairspray.” As a filmmaker, he has worked with everyone from Robert Redford to Cate Blanchett to Bruce Willis to Jennifer Aniston.
Stern’s latest documentary, “Giving Voice,” won the prestigious Festival Favorite Award at Sundance this year.
At his core, though, Stern is a political and hoops junkie. And the latter fix fueled one of his favorite projects, which just so happened to weave into his other life as a minority owner of the Bulls.
Stern co-directed “Michael Jordan to the Max,” which was released in May 2000.
