Giles and Robbie are humbled to sit down and chat with the incredible tour de force that is Julie Delpy. Whilst many of us may know and love her from Richard Linklater’s the 'Before' series or her work with Kieslowski on the Three Colours trilogy, we also know her prolific directing career from her debut 'Looking for Jimmy' all the way up to her latest feature 'My Zoe'.
Julie talks frankly about her personal philosophy about film-making, her love of sci-fi and her directing process from writing to production to post - including how she made a name for herself at NYU by turning other students garbage footage into masterpieces in the edit suite.
We cover everything from collaborating with encouraging colleagues like Ethan Hawke and Richard Linklater to navigating the nastier side of the film industry and dealing with industry sexism as a female actor making the route from acting to directing.
Finally, we discuss the practical nature of film-making, and how you can stay true to your own vision whilst adding others’ ideas into the mix in the hire wire art of directing.
This week’s sponsor is WeScreenplay
Our jury of studio execs, producers, agents, and writers are on the hunt for a script that’s just waiting to be turned into the next big movie. And these are people who can take a script and turn it into a film. They’ve done it before and they’re always looking for great writers to do it again.
Prizes
The WeScreenplay Features Contest is also giving away cash and prizes. The Grand Prize script will receive $1,000 cash prize and the top 3 scripts will receive WeScreenplay’s top-notch coverage.
But the best part about the WeScreenplay Features competition isn’t just the cash prizes and industry jury.
Every entry gets free script feedback!
What are you waiting for? Send your script into the WeScreenplay Feature Competition now and take the next step in your screenwriting career!
Submit your manuscript today! The REGULAR deadline ends on November 15th. Go to https://www.wescreenplay.com/feature for all the info you need.
