Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

CHRIS LOWE - Production Designer
Q: Do you prefer locations or sets when you are starting to design something?
It generally depends on the script; sometimes a location is essential, while other times a set offers the creative control needed for storytelling.
CHRIS LOWE - Production Designer
Q: When you're starting with a director as a production designer, do you have some sort of tricks in trying to get him or her to give you what they're thinking about?
Absolutely, you quickly sketch out the shape of the film to visually map out the story, which often helps directors clarify their vision.
CHRIS LOWE - Production Designer
Q: Can you tell us what the responsibilities of an art director is versus a production designer?
The responsibilities have always been blurred, especially in television, where art directors handle more logistical aspects and support the designer, who focuses on the story and creative vision.
CRISTIAN MUNGIU - Director
Q: Have you ever considered making a comedy again, given the social issues you portray?
While I have not approached comedies in a traditional manner, I do incorporate elements of satire in my films, reflecting the absurdities of society.
CRISTIAN MUNGIU - Director
Q: How did you approach the filming of RMN and its commentary on immigration and racism?
I wanted to address these issues authentically; the film was a socio-political commentary on the intolerance and xenophobia present in Romanian society.
