Feig lives in Los Angeles, California, with his wife Susanna Felleman, and their two children. Feig first learned of La La Land at the Sundance Film Festival in 2014, when he met with Damien Chazelle, who pitched him his script for a Hollywood musical.

At the time, the script was in development at Focus Features. Feig secured a $30 million budget for Lionsgate to produce the film, gambling on the unusual undertaking of an original Hollywood musical.

Chazelle’s first feature Whiplash had not yet been released when the deal was made.

In February 2018, it was reported that Feig would be leaving Lionsgate and that he had raised money to launch a new company focused on youth-oriented projects. Lionsgate is expected to be one of the investors in the new company.
