When you fall in love with a project, stay with it — for as many years as necessary. Its time will come. When screenwriter Allan Scott acquired the film rights to "The Queen's Gambit," he couldn't have imagined it would take almost 30 years to get it made. Allan and producing partner Bill Horberg talk about finding the right people at the right time with the right elements to make the Netflix phenomenon happen; the big insight (and the key creative partner) that unblocked the path; and what they've learned about staying the course when you really, really think something should happen and the world is telling you no.
