Thanks for a great interview. I want to know more about the issues the shoot had with IATSE. I've read that the producers initially went non-union (on a $6 million budget in New York?), and then flipped to union. While I get the spirit these filmmakers embody during their shoots, paying a union wage & benefits should figure into their process as much as the run-and-gun mentality. It would have been interesting to hear Alex's perspective on this.
Great interview. I also heard the backstory from the Hollywood Gold podcast. I love that bootstrap mentality. I always wear multiple hats on my projects and have seriously wondered how many credits on screen or IMDb a producer can take without seeming obnoxious. (location manager, casting director, VFX super, casting director, production designer, script supervisor, transport captain, precision driver, 💪💪)
Great interview. I’d heard this backstory when he came to speak with a small group of us AFI alumni at the alumni center after they’d won all those Oscars. He said it had been a whirlwind and they were just trying to ground themselves from that incredible high!
Great article! Would love to have that kind of respect and relationship with a financier. Love the producer wears many hats too. Who wants to be stuck in an office when you can be on set with the magic?
