KATE WINSLET - Actor / Director

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 173 - Kate Winslet - Actor / Director Actor and director Kate Winslet (GOODBYE JUNE, MARE OF EASTTOWN, HEAVENLY CREATURES) joins us in this extended episode of the Team Deakins Podcast. During our conversation, we discuss Kate's humble beginnings, inheriting an accent, good and bad direction, playing characters based on real people, and her experiences shooting her directorial debut, GOODBYE JUNE. In addition to her long career as an actress and newly begun one as a director, Kate has also recently stepped into the role of producing. We learn why Kate took on the extra challenge, how she balances her duties behind and in front of the camera, and what she looks for in a project to potentially join—in any capacity. While discussing GOODBYE JUNE, we learn how Kate found the script, why she ended up directing the movie, and how she applied a lifetime's worth of experience to create a space for the cast to just be their characters and perform. We worked with Kate on REVOLUTIONARY ROAD, and we had a wonderful time catching up with her. - Recommended Viewing: GOODBYE JUNE, MARE OF EASTTOWN, HEAVENLY CREATURES - This episode is sponsored by Aputure
