Who needs to read books for creative inspiration anymore? That’s so 20th century. We’re in 2020 now and if we need inspiration for a new TV series, you have to look at Twitter, obviously. And apparently, that’s exactly what HBO Max and Ava DuVernay did for the upcoming show, “One Perfect Shot.”
If you’re a social media savvy film fan (and you probably are if you’re reading this right now), then you’ve probably stumbled across the Twitter account @OnePerfectShot. It’s a great account to follow that highlights some of the best moments in film and TV, while crediting the creative minds that helped bring it to life. Now, HBO Max is teaming up with Ava DuVernay and her ARRAY Filmworks production company to bring the Twitter account to the streaming service in the form of a new series.
Here’s the official description of the new series:
“Using state of the art technology, the directors will literally enter each shot, walking through the scene in 360 moments that allow viewers to join an immersive exploration of moviemaking. Filmmakers will share their obstacles, challenges, lessons and triumphs as they detail how they created their crowning cinematic achievements.”

According to Deadline, DuVernay will not only produce the new series, but she will actually narrate the show, as each episode focuses on one acclaimed filmmaker who breaks down one of their most iconic shots.
“I’ve long wanted to create a series about the art of directing,” said DuVernay. “To chronicle the craft of great filmmakers is a dream come true for me and all of us at ARRAY Filmworks. We’re thrilled that our partners at Warner Horizon Unscripted Television embraced this idea and look forward to fully geeking out over movies with our friends at HBO Max.”
It’s still too early to know when “One Perfect Shot” might debut on HBO Max, but you better believe we’ll be following the development closely, especially when we find out which filmmakers will be featured in the series. Until then, go follow One Perfect Shot on Twitter. You won’t be disappointed.
