  • 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.

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.
TURNING THE TABLES - SKYFALL
Q: So what was that conversation like?
Roger Deakins says he worried the production would involve multiple cameras and units that would limit his creative control. Mendes reassured him they would work as they had on earlier films, with storyboards when needed and scenes developed with actors on the day.
EDDIE MARSAN - Actor
Q: How do you approach portraying real people or historical figures?
Marsan talks about understanding the function of the character within the story, doing research to reveal their humanity, and hiding the function behind authenticity to make the portrayal believable.
EDDIE MARSAN - Actor
Q: What did you learn from working with different directors like Mike Leigh and Spielberg?
He explains that Leigh's process teaches you to go with your ignorance and trust the process, while Spielberg's approach feels like a dance with the camera, both building his ability to adapt and stay flexible within a director's vision.
EDDIE MARSAN - Actor
Q: How did you get to where you are today?
Marsan describes his early life, the film industry's formation of his career, and his realization that he was drawn to character work. He emphasizes persistence, the support from mentors, and the importance of practical training over purely theoretical study.
