The Capote Tapes.Burnough long worked in communications and public relations, serving as Senior Advisor to First Lady Michelle Obama during her husband’s presidency.
He also served White House Deputy Social Secretary. Less than a year after marrying his husband, Belgian hedge fund director Pierre Lagrange, he makes his directorial debut with The Capote Tapes.
Using a compilation of archive footage, new interviews and a series of audio tapes (which also became the basis for Geroge Plimptons acclaimed biography Truman Capote), Burnough reconstructs the inner world of the latter-day Capote, and hints at the contents of his lost manuscript Answered Prayers.Affable, warm and charming, Burnough betrays his Washington background when he lets slip.
