“I was at home and my phone rang and Leonardo DiCaprio was like, ‘Come meet me in Brooklyn at this race,” said one of the film’s directors, Fisher Stevens, who had previously worked with Leonardo on the 2016 climate-change documentary Before the Flood. “I didn’t know what he was talking about. What race?
“He was at the Formula E race in Red Hook and he wanted me to come check out the cars and the practice. I went down there and he said, ‘We should make a documentary about this.’
“I wasn’t very interested at first because I don’t care about cars or racing. He’s like ‘No, we can make an environmental doc but preach to a different audience because these cars are amazing. These are the future.’”
