Every great film starts with people. Brian Rose has sat down with Oscar-winning actors, documentary directors, screenwriters, novelists whose books became cult films, and the special effects artists who make the impossible look real. They talk about the craft of acting, how a film gets made, what it takes to break into the industry and what fame does to a life. London Real also makes its own feature documentaries. Every full interview is free to watch.
From Oscar-winning actor Richard Dreyfuss and Monty Python’s John Cleese to Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk, Trainspotting writer Irvine Welsh, Free Solo director Jimmy Chin, Emmy-winning documentary maker Brett Morgen and Hollywood acting coach Ivana Chubbuck: the people behind the films you know.
Richard Dreyfuss, the star of Jaws and an Oscar winner for The Goodbye Girl, talks about what worries him in how children are taught. Ashley Walters describes going from So Solid Crew to Top Boy and changing the face of British TV and film. Evanna Lynch looks back on being cast as Luna Lovegood in Harry Potter, Priyanka Chopra talks about confidence, and James Cosmo, of Braveheart and Trainspotting, reflects on a long career. Breaking Bad actor RJ Mitte spoke about growing up as Walt Jr and why the big job may never come unless you build it. Acting coach Ivana Chubbuck explains the technique she teaches.
Jimmy Chin explains how he and his wife Chai Vasarhelyi filmed Alex Honnold climbing without ropes for Free Solo, which won the Oscar for best documentary. Brett Morgen, Oscar-nominated for On the Ropes, talks about telling Jane Goodall’s story in Jane. Sebastian Junger and Nick Quested discuss Hell on Earth, their film on the war in Syria. Geoff Thompson, a BAFTA-winning screenwriter, describes getting from the factory floor to writing for the screen. Greg Nicotero explains the make-up effects behind The Walking Dead and working with Quentin Tarantino, and Rose McGowan talks about directing and being brave.
Books become films too. Chuck Palahniuk talks about Fight Club and making nihilism fun, and Irvine Welsh discusses Skagboys, the Trainspotting prequel, and the film of his novel Filth starring James McAvoy. John Cleese argues that modern culture has stifled comedy, and Eddie Izzard shares his creative wisdom.
