  • Insightful and entertaining

    As someone currently studying to enter the film industry, I’ve learned so much from this podcast. Not the sort of things you learn in the classroom but valuable lessons from each guest and the Deakins; how they navigate the challenges that arise on a variety of shoots. I especially love the content from the Production Design team and would love to hear from other Art Department guests.

  • Amazing for filmmakers

    I absolutely love this podcast. I’ve been working in film since 2020 and had gone from BG to directing award winning films and always wanting to learn perspectives of each crew member and this gives you an intimate, in depth peekaboo at every department of film and what it takes to make a film but it also shows how different each person’s journey has been showing that anyone with a true love and passion can make it. It’s been incredibly inspiring for me.

    Thank you so much and please keep doing w... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

NIKOLAUS SUMMERER - Cinematographer
Q: Can you talk about how you found the different versions of your own cinematography across The Silence, Who Am I? and The Siege of Jadotville?
Summerer said he started with each script's needs: The Silence called for slow, tense movement; Who Am I? needed a darker, heavier visual style; and The Siege of Jadotville required rough, violent imagery that placed viewers alongside the soldiers.
NIKOLAUS SUMMERER - Cinematographer
Q: How did you get to where you are today? Is this something you always thought you wanted to do?
Summerer was inspired by the camera movement and tension in The Shining. After an early setback at film school, he pursued set work, learned through ARRI's rental and lighting departments, and gradually moved into cinematography.
DENISE DI NOVI - Producer
Q: How did the second Little Women movie come about?
Di Novi and her collaborators approached Greta Gerwig to create a contemporary version. Gerwig's screenplay was not initially greenlit, but after she won the Academy Award for Lady Bird, the studio agreed to make the film using the same script.
DENISE DI NOVI - Producer
Q: What do you look for in a director?
Di Novi looks for an emotional connection to the material and genuine passion, especially for the story's characters. She relies on intuition and believes directors need to care deeply because the job is demanding and intimate.
TURNING THE TABLES - SKYFALL
Q: What was your relationship specifically to the Bond franchise growing up? Did you watch the films?
Roger Deakins says he watched Bond films occasionally on television but did not find them especially interesting, describing them as entertaining and escapist. James Deakins notes that the franchise has a distinct place in English culture.
