Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Makos & Eagles: The Warhol Connection & the Power of Blood
Q: What makes a photograph or a subject iconic for you, especially in your Warhol era work?
He emphasizes capturing a moment of presence and personality, rather than relying solely on polished setups, a philosophy that remained central as he photographed famous figures and developed the Altered Image series.
Makos & Eagles: The Warhol Connection & the Power of Blood
Q: How did you get started in photography and what early experiences shaped your approach?
Makos describes meeting his future collaborator/mentor figures, getting a camera as a birthday gift from Anthony Perkins, and learning through self-teaching and direct access to subjects, which honed his instinct for choosing powerful moments and people to photograph.
Inside the Oscars Race: with Two Nominated Queer Filmmakers
Q: How important was it to hold the reality alongside the obvious financial incentives for the investors?
It was crucial to show the nuance: some people benefited in incredibly practical ways, while others were harmed by a system that valued life primarily as an asset, revealing the moral complexity rather than a simple good-versus-bad narrative.
Inside the Oscars Race: with Two Nominated Queer Filmmakers
Q: Given all of that, Matt, why did you decide to make this film?
The film began as a personal inquiry connected to my father and our family history, but as I spoke with survivors and learned more about the viatical settlements, its purpose broadened into a critique of the US health care system and capitalism, shaping a more universal reason to tell the story.
Tash Aw: The Triple Booker Prize Nominee
Q: Are there plans to adapt The South for film or television?
Aw expresses openness to adaptation but notes it depends on producers and the right creative team, emphasizing that such adaptations require sensitivity to the text and that the industry currently faces broader challenges.
