In the very first episode of my podcast, I sit down with Academy Award Winning Production Designer Donald Graham Burt. We explore the role of the Production Designer, a life in the arts, working with David Fincher, and learn to talk less and listen more.
Today I sit down with Academy Award Winning Producer Mollye Asher, and she takes us on her journey from dancer to filmmaker, and reminds us that we love making movies because of the people we make them with. She talks about her very special relationship with Writer/Director Chloe Zhao, working with non-actors, and the incredible amount of craft it takes to turn reality into cinema.
Today, we have a special treat…Production Designer Donald Graham Burt returns to talk about designing and making MANK…It is a masterclass in filmmaking and the power of limitations from the most humble of masters.
Today I sit down with a legendary cinematographer Newton Thomas Sigel. We talk about how documentaries taught him to be in the moment, and the relationship between non-fiction and narrative filmmaking.
Today I sit down with brilliant production designer Grace Yun. We get into her work on Hereditary with Ari Aster, collaborating with Master Filmmaker Paul Schrader, working in Television and being yourself.
Today I sit down with my old friend Christine Romero. For many years she worked and lived alongside the iconic George A. Romero who created Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, among others. But what you don’t know is Chris made those movies alongside him.
Today I sit down with Oscar-Nominated Makeup Artist Gigi Williams and longtime collaborator with the brilliant David Fincher. Her credits are very long, but to name a few: Rock N’ Roll High School, The Howling, The Professional, as well as Single Man, Argo, The Master & Inherent Vice, not to mention her work with Fincher: Gone Girl, Mindhunters, and now Mank.
Today I sit down with legendary Screenwriter Eric Roth. We talk about his life and his craft and why we should all be more generous of spirit. Truth be told, Eric has been involved in creating so many iconic films that it would have been impossible to try...so I asked him about the films of his that meant the most to me, and he held court and digressed in the loveliest of ways. I hope you have as much fun listening as I did recording this interview. Enjoy!
Today I talk with BENJAMIN LOEB. A wonderful Cinematographer & Filmmaker who shot two of my very favorite films...the beautifully cathartic PIECES OF A WOMAN...and the insane fever dream otherwise known as MANDY.
