Today’s episode features Vincent Grashaw and his new film 'Bang Bang', screening this week at the Deauville Film Festival following Locarno and Tribeca. Past inspiration includes ‘The Wrestler’, and we share an appreciation for Spike Lee’s ‘He Got Game’.
Vincent talks about his connection to boxing, his casting techniques, shooting on ultra-wide lenses, and the unsung process of color grading. He also discusses his previous films and the challenges of making low-budget indie movies, emphasizing the importance of taking control of your destiny and to never give up.
Vincent shares the common themes in his films, such as friendship and the impact of relationships, and we talk about the current state of the Hollywood film industry and the need for a material renaissance.
