  • Familiar grief and familial dynamics, with 'His Three Daughters' writer-director Azazel Jacobs
    Sep 20 2024

    Following the release of Sing Sing, another breakout title from last year’s TIFF is finally here, in the form of His Three Daughters! This three-hander, starring Natasha Lyonne, Carrie Coon, and Elizabeth Olsen, is written and directed by Azazel Jacobs. Harrowingly gorgeous and at times lovingly funny, the film offers a subtle depiction of grief, mortality, and familial dynamics.
    We were fortunate enough to sit down with Aza and pick his brain about one of the most well-written scripts in recent memory, drawing the absolute best from his three leads (all of whom he wrote the characters specifically for), and the true essence of comic relief.

  • Rewind #1: Director (of Photography) Paul Cameron goes back in time
    Sep 6 2024

    Dear Listener,
    From time to time, we’ll treat you to different themes and formats, like our new series, “Rewind”. This special edition of the show will drop in your feed every month or so.
    The very first episode of “Rewind” is, needless to say, a special one. We are excited to welcome cinematographer turned director Paul Cameron. The two main titles we cover are Man on Fire and Collateral, both of which celebrate their 20th anniversary this year.
    In addition to Paul’s anecdotes and experiences on these projects, he gives us insight into his transition from DoP to Director, his perspective on his role in the industry, and, of course, what might be next for him.

  • We Need to Talk About Emmy #15: The fever dream - like tragedy of ‘Lady in the Lake’
    Aug 23 2024

    For a few years now, Apple has been consistently building out its streaming platform with the help of great artists and prestigious projects. Their new release, Lady in the Lake is a limited series starring Natalie Portman and Moses Ingram. Áron had the pleasure of welcoming the show’s cinematographer Lachlan Milne, and production designer JC Molina to the show.
    As Lady in the Lake takes place in 1960s Baltimore, there were plenty of topics to discuss about the visuals of the project. Having the cinematographer and the production designer on at the same time provided a great opportunity to dive into their collaboration and talk through how the teams and departments worked together to create this stunning period piece.
    Lachland and JC were also kind enough to give us an insight into the research process, and even shared what emotional scenes were particularly hard to shoot or create for them.
    (Plus they teased their upcoming projects: Michel Gondry’s Atlantis, and Mimi Cave’s Holland, Michigan.)
