Radical with Christopher Zalla and Braden King (Ep. 447)
Director Christopher Zalla discusses his new film, Radical, with fellow Director Braden King in a Q&A at the DGA theater in New York. In the conversation, he discusses how the children\u2019s POV informed his cinematography choices, his personal journey in finding a story that resonated with him, and how he worked with Actors of various backgrounds to achieve the types of characters he envisioned.\n\nThe film tells the story of Sergio Juarez, a sixth grade teacher in a Mexican border town full of neglect, corruption and violence. Saddled with the worst performing students, he tries a radical new method to unlock his students' curiosity, potential, and maybe even their genius.\n\nSee photos and a summary of this event below:\n\nhttps://dga.org/Events/2023/December2023/Radical_QnA_1123.aspx
