SEASON 2 - EPISODE 75 - LUC MONTPELLIER - CINEMATOGRAPHER
Cinematographer Luc Montpellier (WOMEN TALKING, AWAY FROM HER, AUTUMN HEARTS) joins us on this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast. Hailing from rural Canada, Luc reflects on his childhood growing up with a deep love for film and later knuckling down to get into film school, both by building his portfolio and threatening the school with an endless stream of applications until his acceptance. We learn how the Canadian government supports its country\\u2019s film industry and how that support has evolved over time, and we consider the different pathways for young filmmakers to gain experience in both Canada and the United Sates. We later mine the fine details of Luc\\u2019s approach to shooting the deceptively \\u201csimple\\u201d WOMEN TALKING and how he and director Sarah Polley identified when and how to visually express the women\\u2019s story and their evolving characters. And, towards the end, Luc thanks us for responding to his email years ago following a difficult professional experience.
