in Interviews, TVInterview: ‘We Met In Virtual Reality’ Director Joe Hunting Talks About Human Connections in VR
“Filmed entirely inside the world of Virtual Reality!” That’s how HBO Max marketed the documentary We Met In Virtual Reality by director Joe Hunting. My interest was peaked. I’m a former documentarian who lost his work when the pandemic hit. I’ve spent the past year exploring virtual worlds and recording interviews with Avatar creators in […] More

Interview: Himesh Patel on Playing the Aimless, Everyman Hero of ‘Station Eleven’
It’s rare to watch a show set after the fall of human civilization and see oneself as the hero of that story. Most of us are not Mad Max, as much as we may fantasize. What I’m describing is the aimless, unsure “everyman” who grudgingly helps people not because he is a loner and a […] More

Interview: ‘The Umbrella Academy’ Creator Steve Blackman on His Dysfunctional Super Family Show (With a Body Count)
If you have slept on The Umbrella Academy because you are fatigued of superhero stories, you can be forgiven. You will also be making a big mistake. Huge mistake.

Interview: Production Designer Ruth Ammon on the Pre and Post-Apocalyptic World of ‘Station Eleven’
The term “world-building” gets thrown around a lot these days. It’s the goal of filmmakers to transport the audience to different places. To experience a reality that doesn’t exist outside of our minds. Of course, to achieve this, someone has to do the actual “building” part. Enter the Production Designer. As the head of the […] More

Interview: Casting Directors Jeanie & Maggie Bacharach Talk ‘Station Eleven’
The casting director for a film has one of the most powerful influences on the final product, yet goes largely unnoticed by the general audience. The actors bring the characters to life, but they first need to audition, which means they are selected by the Casting Director. Careers can be made by matching the right […] More

Interview: ‘Station Eleven’ Costume Designer Helen Huang on Post-Apocalyptic Fashion
If we are to believe Hamlet when he said, “the clothes maketh the man,” in Shakespeare’s play, then one television show that was practically defined by its costumes is Station Eleven. Set 20 years after a pandemic has wiped out most of humanity, the story follows a troupe of actors who travel around the Great […] More

Interview: ‘Station Eleven’ EP & Director Jeremy Podeswa Talks about Creation & Renewal
The most prolific television directors are journeymen. They show up for an episode or two during a season, put in the work, then move onto the next show. The producers, the actors, the writers, the director of photography all stay, but the director moves along. The television director’s job is to match the tone and […] More

Interview: ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Costume Designer Bernadette Croft Talks Fashion in the 23rd Century
It’s hard to compare which fandom is more opinionated. The saying goes, “no one hates Star Wars more than Star Wars fans.”. Arguably, the modern fan movement started with Trekkies, who managed to save the beloved sci-fi series Star Trek from cancellation in 1968, securing a third season and thus syndication on television where it […] More

Interview: Patrick Sommerville & Jessica Rhoades Discuss ‘Station Eleven’ and the Triumph of Art Over Tragedy
Why do we do it? Why do we create? We paint, sing, dance, write poetry, screenplays, and songs. Is it to express a feeling or a thought that just can’t be communicated in any another way? Is it to work through a traumatic moment in our lives we can’t move beyond? Maybe it’s an effort […] More

Interview: Matilda Lawler Talks ‘Station Eleven’ and Preparing to Survive the Post-Apocalypse
Station Eleven was one of the most unique and engaging shows in a year filled with stand out television programs. At first glance, a drama about a Shakespeare troupe set after a global pandemic – while we are in the midst of a global pandemic – may seem a little too meta for the casual […] More
