Ep267 - Craig Zobel, Director HBO’s ‘Mare of Easttown’ & ‘The Hunt’

Craig Zobel got started by making shorts and videos for people like Iggy Pop. Now, he’s best known for films like Compliance, Z for Zachariah, and The Hunt. Currently, he’s the Director for HBO’s new series, Mare of Easttown. Mare of Easttown stars Kate Winslet and Guy Pearce. In the naturalistic series, “A detective in a small Pennsylvania town investigates a local murder while trying to keep her life from falling apart.” In this interview, Zobel talks about how television is similar to Indie films, how he shot The Hunt as a satirical horror film, how everyone wants you to succeed, and his philosophies on prepping a shot versus being spontaneous on set to find “the shape of the scene.” If it’s your first time listening, make sure to subscribe and visit my new website for information on the YouTube channel, the blog, this podcast, and my new book ‘Ink by the Barrel’ which takes advice from these 200+ interviews at the link below… Join the email list here: www.brockswinson.com Follow us on Instagram for updates: @brockswinson If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts?
