by Phil Wheat

Here’s the latest episode of the The Filmmakers Podcast, part of the ever-growing podcast roster here on Nerdly. If you haven’t heard the show yet, you can check out previous episodes on the official podcast site, whilst we’ll be featuring each and every new episode as it premieres.

For those unfamiliar with the series, The Filmmakers Podcast is a podcast about how to make films from micro budget indie films to bigger budget studio films and everything in-between. Our hosts Giles Alderson, Dan Richardson, Andrew Rodger and Cristian James talk how to get films made, how to actually make them and how to try not to f… it up in their very humble opinion. Guests will come on and chat about their film making experiences from directors, writers, producers, screenwriters, actors, cinematographers and distributors.

The Filmmaker’s Podcast #343: Making a studio ‘indie’ film with Chevalier director Stephen Williams and actors Lucy Boynton & Kelvin Harrison Jr.

On this week episode we chat with the director and stars of ‘Chevalier’. Actors Kelvin Harrison Jr and Lucy Boynton and Director Stephen Williams join Giles Alderson and Dom Lenoir. They talk making a studio indie film:

  • Why you should tailor the text as a director when you are not the screenwriter.
  • Why you are only as good as your collaborators.
  • Why Stephen used screen-grabs to inspire the crew.
  • Why he directed TV and met JJ Abrams.
    On set ‘moments’ and advice.
  • What works for actors on set.
  • And why you should (possibly) hold out to make the film you want to make.

Chevalier is out NOW in cinemas
