Giulia Parmigiani/Universal On March 25, filmmaker Nina Lee was about to give a speech to a room full of high school students, advising them how to navigate the Hollywood film business.
But the Atlanta native was in a tough spot. She was frustrated because her recent rom-com project, “That’s Her,” starring Coco Jones and Kountry Wayne, was stuck in post-production limbo — neither picked up nor flat-out rejected by the various studios she’d approached. Before starting her speech, she reposted her tweet warning audiences that studios were watching to see how the upcoming rom-com “You, Me & Tuscany,” now playing in theaters, performed at the box office.
