SEASON 2 - EPISODE 80 - JUAN JOS\\xc9 CAMPANELLA - WRITER / DIRECTOR
On this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, writer and director Juan Jos\\xe9 Campanella (THE SECRET IN THEIR EYES, VIENTOS DE AGUA, SON OF THE BRIDE) joins us for a conversation about his career (of which we have been longtime and passionate fans). After moonlighting as a film student and watching odd-paired double bills at local theaters in Buenos Aires, Juan attended film school at NYU and eventually returned to Argentina after 10 years to continue his career. We learn how Juan and his team pulled off the stadium scene in THE SECRET IN THEIR EYES and why he conceived of the single-shot aesthetic for that particular moment in the film. Juan later shares how his longtime creative partnership with actor Ricardo Dar\\xedn has developed over the years and what Juan saw in a performance of Ricardo\\u2019s that made him believe he was a formidable actor. Juan also shares his approach to rehearsals and how he\\u2019s helped actors justify lines that, initially, they have difficulty delivering. Towards the end, Juan reflects on the differences between television and film, the response towards a film based on its distribution strategy, and the changing tastes of audiences.
