Fred Berner, Amy Durning, and Kristie Macosko Krieger, the producers of "Maestro," the just-released film about Leonard Bernstein, will be at the Sag Harbor Cinema on Saturday for a question-and-answer session after the film's 6:15 p.m. screening.   

The concept for the film originated with Ms. Durning and Mr. Berner, who approached Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg with it. Both filmmakers came aboard as producers when Bradley Cooper joined the project as director, star, and co-writer.

Mr. Berner is a director and producer who makes films through his company Fred Berner Films along with Ms. Durning. Ms. Krieger produced the Spielberg-directed films "West Side Story," "Ready Player One," "The Post," and "Bridge of Spies."
