ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Great film is alchemy, the result of an interaction between writing, performance, light, sound, sets, and editing. On each episode of Making the Scene, I’m joined by a guest as we work to understand that alchemy through the lens of a single scene, to understand a director’s approach to their film by examining how and why they built this one, specific moment.
