This week we were lucky enough to be joined by Dominic Cooke who directed the critically acclaimed movie ‘The Courier’ which starred Benedict Cumberbatch. Dominic also stepped in to  direct ‘On Chesil Beach’ a romantic period piece that stars Saoirse Ronan and Billy Howle, when Sam Mendes had to drop out of directing the film. We cover so much in this interview, covering topics from the challenges he faced transitioning from being a theatre director to a film director, how he likes to rehearse with his actors, what it was like to direct and work with actors such Benedict Cumberbatch, Saoirse Ronan and Billy Howle, as well as his upcoming project which will be a film adaptation of a musical theatre play that he directed.  We had so much recording this episode and hope you guys enjoy it too, so sit back, relax, and enjoy the episode.  🎧 Full episode available to listen & download now: https://www.theflickerspodcast.com/  📸 INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/flickerspodcast/ 🐦 TWITTER: https://twitter.com/flickerspodcast?lang=en Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/TheFlickersPodcast/ Support the podcast and subscribe to our Patreon below: https://www.patreon.com/TheFlickers To sign up to Buzzsprout and receive a $20 gift card click the link below: https://www.buzzsprout.com/?referrer_id=1744007 Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/TheFlickers)
