MASTERCLASS with PETER STRAUGHAN

PETER
Screenwriting, directing, it’s like swimming.
I can’t sketch, I paint it in as I go.

MASTERCLASS with PAUL GREENGRASS

GREENGRASS
Script for film, doing it as you go along, a bit like High Opera.
I never really got near anything I had seen in my mind.
Behind the camera I’m not frightened.
Casting, writing and performance all become skewed, passionate and dispassionate, all at the same time.
Sheer naked fear?
