Ep284 - Crystal Moselle, Writer-Director ‘Skate Kitchen’ & HBO’s ‘Betty’

Crystal Moselle got her start making documentary films like ‘The Wolfpack’ and ‘Our Dream of Water.’ Soon after, she took this visual following style with her to make fictional works like ‘Skate Kitchen’ and now, HBO’s ‘Betty.’ In ‘Betty,’ the series stars Dede Lovelace, Kabrina Adams, and Nina Moran. The description reads, " A diverse group of young women navigating their lives through the predominantly male oriented world of skateboarding.” In this interview, Crystal talks about researching the world of female skateboarders, how she follows inspirations to create look and feel of a show or movie, how she brings improv to the series, and how she shoots the new series like a documentary with purposeful imperfections.
