A Wish Come True: The Making of Obsession with Producer Haley Johnson

Nearly a year after its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival ignited a frenzied studio bidding war, Johnson reflects on the whirlwind journey. She takes us behind the making of Obsession with a scrappy independent crew, and the meteoric rise to become one of the most successful theatrical films of 2026.
