Pablo Larraín (Spencer) - MovieMaker

What this episode covers

Spencer director Pablo Larraín was drawn to Princess Diana — played by Kristen Stewart in the film — as both a mother and an unknowable cinematic figure. He didn't realize he was making a movie about motherhood at the beginning, but discovered it when he saw Stewart's interaction with the young actors who play princes Harry and William (Freddie Spry and Jack Nielen).Larraín also talks with us about not treating the royal family as caricatures, why the film used real food in its opulent dining scenes, and how much of his "fable based on a true tragedy" is factual, and how much is novelistic imagination.

Lopez I'm a moviemaker and owner of Cross Beyond, the movie production company that crosses beyond the ordinary (www.crossbeyondproductions.com), but I'm also an avid movie lover, gamer, and all around cool (depends on your definition of cool) guy who's interested in nerdy/techie stuff.
