Take 78 - Writer and Director Peter Kosminsky, White Oleander, The Undeclared War
Screaming into the Hollywood Abyss - A podcast by Noah Evslin and Dan Rutstein - Thursdays
We (by which we actually mean just Dan) talk to writer and director Peter Kosminsky.He tells us about his early firings (of which there were many including lasting only a day as a researcher because they didn't like his ideas around tampon tax) as well as how he went from Chemistry student to lighting expert.He discusses his shortcomings as a director, his strengths and how they work on both sides of the Atlantic and the time he nearly gave up after being completely out of his depth on a big Hollywood movie.We talk about trying to write AND direct, his love of research and being a chameleon.A fascinating interview with a cerebral, analytical and inisghtful master of his craft.
