Hi folks! Reverse Shot Talkies #4: Andrew Bujalski is now up, courtesy of our friends at indieWIRE. We’re very excited to be working with them on this unique series and are looking forward to a bunch of great upcoming installments.
For those who missed our first three segments, here they are again:
Reverse Shot Talkies #3 (6:33 HDV): Talkies host Eric Hynes chats with Duck Season and Lake Tahoe director Fernando Eimbcke about the pleasures of sound, static compositions, and black frames while trying to find the perfect shooting location within New York’s Chelsea Piers.
And if you missed our previous installments:
Talkies #2: Atom Egoyan
Talkies #1: So Yong Kim, Bradley Rust Gray, Sky Ok Gray
Reverse Shot Talkies #2 (5:06 HDV): Host Eric Hynes chats with Atom Egoyan about watching television, the foresight of Fritz Lang, and the surrealism of the remote control.
Here at Reverse Shot we’ve long thought about how best to incorporate the moving image into our usual roster of reviews, interviews, and blog commentary. There are plenty of sites out there doing Q&As, clips, trailers, and the like, and we’d kind of sat on the video question for this very reason. A few weeks ago we hit on an idea: what if we met up with filmmakers—local, or those in town for traditional press junkets—picked a specific setting or activity and tried to spark informal conversations only tangentially related to whatever film they’re promoting at that time? Thus Reverse Shot Talkies was born. It’s still a work in progress in terms of format, title, tech specs, and the like but we hope you enjoy the first installment of what will become a regular feature. Never let it be said that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
Reverse Shot Talkies #1 (6:30 HDV): Host Eric Hynes hangs out in Prospect Park with husband/wife filmmaking duo So Yong Kim and Bradley Rust Gray and their daughter Sky on the eve of Treeless Mountain‘s (Kim) theatrical release, and the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of The Exploding Girl (Gray).
