ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Never Stop Candy Bang Ep. 05 - The Michael Gracey Files Pt. 01

In this episode, Sophie and Pete invite Australian director of 'The Greatest Showman' and the raw as hell Robbie Williams biopic 'Better Man', Michael Gracey, to talk through his passion for sound and vision by breaking down his films and commercials.

Michael Gracey is an Australian filmmaker. He began his career in visual effects at the studio Animal Logic before moving into directing commercials and music videos, working with artists such as P!nk and Natasha Bedingfield.

He made his feature film debut with the hit musical The Greatest Showman (2017), starring Hugh Jackman. Better Man marks his second feature film. Better Man is a 2024 biographical musical drama following the life of English singer Robbie Williams. The film features Robbie Williams—portrayed as an anthropomorphic chimpanzee via motion capture by Jonno Davies and co-voiced by Williams himself—alongside Steve Pemberton and Alison Steadman.
