The Filmmakers Podcast #261: How to make a real-time Crime Thriller with writer/director David Beton, Producer Lucinda Rhodes Thakrar and DoP Andrew Rodger

David, Lucinda and Andrew dive deep into the making of Confession: David talks about writing exposition, POV, tone, and the difference between writing a big film vs writing a smaller film. He also discusses the fear of failure, directing actors, what he looks for in a DoP and the director-editor relationship. While Lucinda talks about finances, Andrew discusses the director-DoP collaboration, how he preps for a shoot and the different types of directors. Confession is a rather brilliant, contained thriller. It’s out now. Seek it out. Support it in any way you can. And learn from our lovely guests.
