Ep319 - Camille Griffin, Writer-Director Keira Knightley Film ‘Silent Night’

Camille Griffin has credits in the Camera and Electrical Department for movies like Layer Cake, Star Wars: Episode 1, and Jojo Rabbit, before making her first film Silent Night. The new film stars Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode, and Roman Griffin Davis. The plot for her debut reads, "Nell, Simon, and their son Art are ready to welcome friends and family for what promises to be a perfect Christmas gathering. Perfect except for one thing: everyone is going to die." Warning: there are plot spoilers near the end of this interview. In this interview, Camille talks about having “misery guts,” advice from Matthew Vaughn, how to deliver on a challenging tone, making movies outside the system, and when it’s time to turn an idea into a spec script.
