Making the Scene
by Eric Sipple
Great film is alchemy, the result of an interaction between writing, performance, light, sound, sets, and editing. On each episode of Making the Scene, I’m joined by a guest as we work to understand that alchemy through the lens of a single scene, to understand a director’s approach to their film by examining how and why they built this one, specific moment.
