Episode notes
This week we’ve got director Jen McGowan (Rust Creek, Kelly & Cal) on the program to discuss Jonathan Glazer’s Under the Skin. Jen takes April deep into the world of filmmaking as she discusses the concept of “process dictating product.” They examine the differences between making films in Europe and the US. They break down the genius of Jonathan Glazer and the exact steps he took to complete this film. Jen explains what it’s like pitching as a director for hire. Plus, she and April dissect Scarlett Johansson’s risky performance and how she’s both sexy and scary at the same time.
You can see Rust Creek in limited theaters and VOD on January 4th.
And if you haven’t seen it yet, go watch Under the Skin on Netflix.
With April Wolfe and Jen McGowan.
