DP/30 Downsizing, Alexander Payne

[@squatch545]

I like how the sunlight in the background gradually fades into dusk.

[@jasctt]

Very cinematic.

[@richfictionfighter]

OMG Yes!! I've loved all of Alexander's films and Im glad you're interviewing him

[@sensitivewriter-director5487]

Damn. This is probably one of the most informative and inspiring ones. Love Payne.

[@chrisraymondmusic]

Terrific interview with one of the greatest directors!

[@woofwoof1345]

Election's the best. God, i love that movie.

[@JPFilmables]

there is a downzing billboard to the left of his head in the background

[@amcaesar]

This was fantastic, my friend -- I'm working on an essay about Payne's themes, and I hope to be able to use this as a reference if that's kosher with you. I love the work you do on this channel, and there should always be a lot more like it in the world.

[@benkata]

He may not do another special FX movie again, but I'm glad he did something out of the box.

[@starwave02]

Benjamin Jack Kata Finau yeah, I highly doubt he will do now given the reception to Downsizing both financially and critically

[@MrGMovieReviews]

When is David Straithrn gonna play him in an autobiography biopic?

[@thecat8513]

the movie is way better on the second viewing. underrated

[@polypeptide]

This was great! Thank you.

[@USDAselect]

Greatest director since Spielberg

[@Avasive]

Don't need 30 fucking trucks for this interview. Great job David🤙🏻☝🏼

[@gqtaste]

For my money, Sideways was a small masterpiece.

[@starwave02]

gqtaste what’s remarkable is that this guy’s only made 7 pictures, and 4 of them are masterpieces imo - those 4 being Election, Sideways, The Descendants and Nebraska.

[@beatboxbandit9842]

shout out from NE

[@pman8478]

I'm so sad Payne didn't get to meet frankenheimer or lumet

[@Winduct]

The backgrounds in your videos keep getting more interesting. By the way, will you be uploading interviews with film editors, cinematographers, art directors, sound designers or composers?

[@dp30]

From this film, you mean? There are a lot of all of those (from other films) on the channel.

[@Winduct]

I mean from other films released this year. For example Dennis Gassner for Blade Runner 2049.

[@jayceewriter7826]

We want Armie for CMBYN please

[@vespertinnee]

well, that was an abrupt ending. but anyways, love the guy. citizen ruth is a film i think about all the time.

[@dp30]

Yeah... there is a lot of me talking after that and I decided to try to cut it off. I bore myself.

[@vespertinnee]

but you don't bore us david! thanks for the interview, care to tease who the next one is?
