The Severance Podcast with Ben Stiller & Adam Scott

And this was after we knew we wanted to do a triangular set. But as soon as the doors open, Jeremy and I walk in and we have this moment where we look at each other and we're speechless again. All the angles were triangular in this building.

So Gemma's office, you know, you'd have to, I tried to show it in that one-er shot of him coming out of the elevator, but it was very, very challenging optically to see it. But those hallways are all based on a triangle form. That's when you kind of know like things are done right, you know, and I think Jeremy's great at following his intuition and just seeing where things go.

He's very open, kind of like you, you guys both have a very similar process with that where you're just open-minded, right? For me, it's been a big lesson on severance and working with you in general is your open mindedness to seeing how things can move with their own force.

I guess I'm not afraid of doing bold, bold, bold things for sure. But when I don't have to own them, it's a lot easier, you know? And like the biggest fear of directing is like, well, you have to own these choices. So it's very easy to like comment on other directors as a cinematographer, as a critic, you know?

is very courageous I find and it's I think is like the most stressful thing about it I have to learn to be okay with the fact that not everyone likes everything and that's fine but it definitely had been blocking me for a long time and I feel like to get to that level of craftsmanship you do have to be open to go there right so how is the experience of directing for you coming out of it and will you ever be a cinematographer again or you know just a director

And I was like, no, I would not do that. And then in my mind, I was like, but I feel like I'd be interested in like something kind of like Nolan-esque, you know, I don't know why like that if I were to direct.

And then this came around and I realized that there would be no better opportunity for me to try this. And I went through a lot of personal experiences and personal growth. And I realized that I needed to face this fear of mine. And there was just not a better place. Being supported by you in this environment, having a crew that knew me on a show that I knew and understood, knew the writers,
