Description
Welcome to The Following Films Podcast, the show where we dive deep into the art and craft of filmmaking with some of the most exciting voices in the industry. Today, we have an exceptional guest: the one and only David Gordon Green. Known for his remarkable ability to hop between genres, David has delivered everything from gritty dramas to crowd-pleasing comedies and nail-biting horror remakes. Today, he’s here to talk about his latest film, Nutcrackers. Nutcrackers is a big, bold comedy that delivers on all fronts. Starring Ben Stiller, it’s a laugh-out-loud exploration of the chaos of parenting unruly nephews, all wrapped in a story filled with surprising emotional depth. Under David’s expert direction, the film strikes that elusive balance between absurd humor and heartfelt moments, scratching the itch for character-driven comedies that are as warm as they are hilarious. We’ll discuss the creative process behind Nutcrackers, how David approached blending over-the-top comedy with genuine heart, and why films like this are more important than ever --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/followingfilms/support
