Welcome to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 63 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson to discuss the next film in their Terrence Malick series, The Tree of Life (2011). We've come to the midpoint mark of the Malick series and have hit the most important film in the filmography of the director, not just in terms of accolades and being known as one of the most important films of the 2010s, but it is also the film Jay claims as his favorite film of all time. A very personal episode of Director Watch is in store as the guys, alongside Erik, break down Malick's most personal film to date about a journey through time, our place in the universe, what our stamp on history is, and what the meaning of life is through the eyes of a family living in a small Texas town. Ryan, Jay, and Erik talk about their relationship with The Tree of Life, how well the film has aged from when they first saw it due to growth and experience in their lives, the masterful imagery conveyed by cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki, the work of Brad Pitt and Jessica Chastain as not just parents to the boys in the film but as the personification of nature vs. nurture, the dinosaur sequence, the glorious ending mixed into the fascinating scenes feature Sean Penn as a grown up version of Jack, how Malick is able to evoke the viewer's memories of their past and juxtapose it to what he is showing on screen through his characters and setting, and of course, talk about the wild Oscar season that covered the films of 2011. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 2h17m. The guys will be back next week to continue their series on the films of Terrence Malick with a review of his next film, To the Wonder. You can rent it via iTunes and Amazon Prime rental in preparation for the next episode of Director Watch. Till then, let's get into it. Music: MUSICALIFE, from Pond5 (intro) and “B-3” from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).

In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 62 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by AwardsWatch contributor Karen Peterson to discuss the next film in their Terrence Malick series, The New World (2005). Entering a new millennium, Malick embarked on a mission to create a vision of timeless story that he had been trying to make since the 1970s. After finally getting the financing to create The New World, he sent out to create a definitive take on the story of historical figures Captain John Smith (Colin Farrell), Pocahontas of the Powhatan tribe (Q'orianka Kilcher), and Englishman John Rolfe, without having to hold true to being one hundred percent accurate to their history. He uses this love story to breakdown our human relationship with exploration and nature, and how when these worlds collide, it provides change that irreversible, beautiful, and tragic. In short, he created another masterpiece. Ryan, Jay, and Karen give their reaction and relationship to the film, speak about how hot Colin Farrell was during this era of his career, Emmanuel Lubezki luscious cinematography, Q'orianka Kilcher's transformational performance, the movie's connection with the past, present, future via water and boats, the poor animated Disney version of this story, and how the freedom, if the extended version of this film is worth it, and how the experimental filmmaking of this movie set a path for the modern Malick we've come to know.

Freestyle rap is back in a BIG way this week on FBOY Island AU - plus, some well-timed Olympic synergy, unnecessary waxing, and some last-minute string cheese (in that it was kind of cheesy when D'art played the cello, which is a string instrument, you get it?)Also - we salute the work of cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki, we're visited by some famous Seths, and we hash out the great BDE vs. Rizz debate of 2024.

The Criteria crew continue their journey through the works of today's most significant Christian filmmaker, Terrence Malick. The New World is an underrated masterpiece about Pocahontas and the founding of Jamestown in 1607. Starring the 14-year-old Q'orianka Kilcher as Pocahontas, Colin Farrell as John Smith, and Christian Bale as John Rolfe, Malick's retelling of the story remarkably combines realism and historical accuracy with poetry and romance, as all three protagonists explore not just one but multiple new worlds, geographical and interior. With The New World, Malick definitively entered a new stage in his career, particularly in his unforgettable collaboration with cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki. The result is an aesthetic that is humble and receptive rather than magisterial. Rather than dominating reality, the camera seems to enter into it, so that we can contemplate something the camera cannot exhaust. James, Thomas, and Nathan discuss Malick's style extensively in this episode, and make the case for why Catholics studying or making art should not focus only on "themes" to the neglect of form, because style itself conveys a vision of reality. Note: make sure you watch the extended cut or the 150-minute "first cut", not the theatrical cut. This film contains brief ethnographic nudity.

La tradición de los cinefotógrafos mexicanos Habrá quien diga que le gusta la fotografía de cine y que elija a Emmanuel Lubezki como uno de sus representantes más internacionales. Y no dirá una mentira. Lubezki es efectivamente uno de los cinefotógrafos mexicanos que más trabajan en el mundo, que innova y que tiene en su currículum colaboraciones con cineastas de enorme nivel. Pero en realidad la tradición de buena fotografía cinematográfica en México es larga y nos lleva a los orígenes mismos del cine. Desde esos años, hombres y mujeres han hecho de la fotografía para el cine algo realmente prodigioso y, no exageramos, han construido una firma que le da la vuelta al mundo. Por si eso fuera poco, varios de los fotógrafos para cine que han salido de la industria mexicana han conseguido premios internacionales, el Oscar por ejemplo, para mencionar al más popular de todos. ¿Este año habrá nuevo Oscar para un cinefotógrafo mexicano? Para eso habrá que esperar un poco pero no queremos dejar pasar la oportunidad de dedicar este episodio a la enorme tradición de la fotografía para cine en México. Para realizar este conteo y quizá predecir si ganaremos un Oscar más, invité al crítico de cine, investigador y profesor Leonardo García Tsao. Hablemos de la tradición de la fotografía para cine en México. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

El cierre de esta espectacular entrevista con la productora que le diera oportunidad a estos tres grandes mexicanos, figuras del cine global. ¿Cómo adaptaría Carmen al mundo de hoy la legendaria Hora Marcada? (pero una buena, no como la que hicieron en... ya saben).

#LosDioses117 entrevistan a una leyenda televisiva: ¡Carmen Armendariz! Productora y creadora de programas como Ventaneando y Hoy; telenovelas, como La Usurpadora… y la mítica Hora Marcada. ¡Conéctese a la #RadioReal o a su plataforma de podcasting favorita! Imagínense tener a alguien como Carmen para contarnos: ¿Qué hace una productora? Va desde la generación de una idea, o la adaptación de una existente, hasta la realización. Se dice fácil, pero se trata de llevar todo a realidad. ¿Cómo se elige una buena idea para producir? Nos dice Carmen: eso se trae. No se puede estudiar. Los datos ayudan, pero la intuición es indispensable. Entramos a materia: producción de morning shows. Es tan inmediata como la tele en vivo. Si una sección no funciona, se cambia. A los tres días. En cambio, contar una historia es completamente distinto. ¿Y cuánto tarda hacer una telenovela? Meses. Aun con dos unidades de producción simultáneas. ¿La gente se refleja en los personajes de la televisión? Carmen y La Casa de los Famosos. ¿La televisión influye en la sociedad, o viceversa? ¿Carmen Armendariz, legendaria productora de televisión, usa las redes sociales como influencia? No. Ya, pasamos a otra pregunta. La creación del formato Ventaneando. De dónde vino y los cambios que generó… aunque ya no cambió en las siguientes décadas. La publicidad en la televisión. Para el productor, debe integrarse a la historia. ¿Quiénes ven los programas matutinos, de acuerdo con el productor? No sólo mujeres. Tómenla. Y no sólo ven noticieros, o quieren noticias. Ahora sí, la historia de Hora Marcada. ¿Cuál era el secreto? Hacer televisión como cine. Con fotógrafo de cine. La primera vez que se usaban un dolly en Televisa. Totalmente diferente a la producción switcheada típica de la televisión nacional. Y la nueva Hora Marcada (¿ya la vieron? En efecto… nadie). ¿Por qué no la hizo Carmen? Entérese. La pregunta que todos queremos hacer: ¿cómo logró reunir a Alfonso Cuarón, Emmanuel Lubezki y Guillermo del Toro como directores en una sola producción? Las puras ganas. El cómo sí. ¿Qué los distingue como generación? La disciplina. ¡Lo nuevo de Carmen Armendáriz! Nos cuenta algunos detalles y cómo es el proceso. El momento estelar de la lectura de guión. Para cerrar: ¿qué habilidades requiere un joven para convertirse en productor? ¿Y para convertirse en conductor? ¡No se lo pierdan!

Dana and Tom discuss the Sci-Fi Thriller, Gravity (2013): written and directed by Alfonso Cuaron, co-written with Jonas Cuaron, music by Steven Price, starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney.Plot Summary: "Gravity" is a cinematic tour de force that plunges audiences into the relentless, unforgiving expanse of outer space. Directed by visionary filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón, this space odyssey is a heart-pounding, visually stunning masterpiece that redefines the limits of human survival and the art of filmmaking.The story unfolds high above the Earth's surface, where Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) and veteran astronaut Matt Kowalski (George Clooney) are on a routine spacewalk to repair the Hubble Space Telescope. However, their mission takes a catastrophic turn when debris from a destroyed satellite hurtles toward them, leaving their shuttle destroyed and the two astronauts stranded in the vast, merciless void of space.Cuarón's genius lies in his ability to create an immersive experience that captures the terrifying isolation of space. The film's breathtaking cinematography, led by Emmanuel Lubezki, pulls viewers into the weightlessness and disorienting chaos of the cosmos. Through seemingly unbroken, mesmerizing long takes, Cuarón allows us to witness the beauty and terror of space, emphasizing the fragility of human life in the face of the universe's sheer indifference. "Gravity" is more than just a technical marvel; it's a meditation on the human spirit's resilience in the face of insurmountable odds. Driven by Stone's determination and guided by Kowalski's wisdom, the film explores themes of survival, rebirth, and the indomitable will to overcome adversity. It's a gripping tale of human vulnerability and the quest for home and meaning amidst the vastness of space.You can now follow us on Instagram, Twitter, or TikTok (@gmoatpodcast) or find our Facebook page at Greatest Movie of All-Time Podcast.For more on the episode, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/gravity-2013For the entire rankings list so far, go to:Full Graded List - Greatest Movies of All-Time Ronny Duncan Studios

Vendégünk Erdély Mátyás, az Oscar-díjas Saul fia Kossuth-díjas operatőre, aki az utóbbi pár évben olyan embereket fényképezett, mint Jude Law, Carrie Coon, Paul Mescal, Saoirse Ronan, Zac Efron, Cate Blanchett, Jeremy Allen White, Billie Eilish, Harris Dickinson, Lily James és Holt McCallany. Matyival legutóbb 2016 januárjában, pár hónappal a Saul fia Oscar-győzelme előtt beszélgettünk, így először arról a fantasztikus estéről számolt be, majd mesélt az azt követő kevésbé fantasztikus pár évről, amikor nem jöttek az izgalmas megkeresések, hiába vált olyan szinten hivatkozási alappá a Saul fia vizuális megközelítése, hogy még a Trónok harca egyik részének a forgatókönyvében is emlegették. Milyen tanulságokat vont le ebből az időszakból? Melyik később nagyon sikeressé vált filmet nem vállalta el akkoriban? Később befutottak csodás feladatok: Jude Law-val és Carrie Coonnal Angliában (The Nest), Paul Mescallal és Saoirse Ronannan az ausztrál préri közepén (Foe), illetve forgatott New Orleans mellett egy pankrátoros filmet Zac Efronnal és A mackóból ismert Jeremy Allen White-tal (The Iron Claw). Nemrég beszállt tartalékos operatőrként a háromszoros Oscar-díjas istenség, Emmanuel Lubezki mellé a Disclaimer című sorozatban, amit Alfonso Cuarón rendezett. Itt volt, amikor egy poharat kellett fényképezni, de volt, amikor Cate Blanchettet.

Pak je Terrence Malick-bingokaart, want deze keer gaan we even lekker aan de slag met The Tree of Life (2011). Zweverige cameravoering, spirituele thematiek, bomenporno en zo goed als geen plot, ze passeren allemaal de revue. Maar deze film springt er ook uit binnen het oeuvre van de mooifilmer. Vooral dankzij het segment waarin het dramatische familieverhaal wordt gepauzeerd om even te kijken hoe het complete universum is ontstaan. Laten we het zo stellen: dit is een van de weinige arthousefilms met dinosauriërs erin. Dit ronduit bizarre uitstapje was genoeg reden voor podgast Thom Aalmoes (redacteur bij Dag en Nacht Media) om de film tijdens zijn eerste kijkbeurt uit te zetten. Thom is medepresentator van de podcasts Geeky Dingen en de Alle Geschiedenis Ooit. Maar ondanks laatstgenoemde, zitten er grenzen aan hoeveel verleden hij in een willekeurige film hoeft te zien. Voor Duimpjeworstelen wilde hij The Tree of Life best eens helemaal uitzitten, om positief verrast te worden. Gelukkig donderde de boel aan het einde van de film voor hem genoeg in elkaar, om zijn duim neerwaarts te houden.  Malick brengt zo zijn thema's aan: de brute natuur versus hemelse gratie. Hij liet zich inspireren door zijn eigen jeugdherinneringen, en toont vooral beelden van een jong gezin in de jaren vijftig. Hoofdpersoon Jack o'Brien heeft een moeizame relatie met zijn strenge pa (Brad Pitt) en idealiseert zijn engelachtige moeder (Jessica Chastain). Saillant detail: de acteur die een volwassen, mijmerende Jack speelt, Sean Penn, heeft sinds het uitkomen van de film wel wat kritiek geuit op The Tree of Life. Want wat nu het nut is van zijn rol?  Verder gaat het ook over respect voor van de pot gerukte regisseurs, hoe verschillende filmmakers hun eigen versie maakten van het Bijbelse Boek van Job en het merkwaardige begin van de filmcarrière van Jessica Chastain.

CHILDREN OF MEN (2006) is Director Alfonso Cuarón's gloomy sci-fi masterpiece set 18 years after all women have suddenly and inexplicably become infertile. Whilst the rest of the planet is shaken by the death of the youngest person on Earth, Theo (Clive Owen) finds himself reluctantly drawn into escorting Kee (Claire-Hope Ashitey) who might be carrying humanity's last flicker of hope through an England divided by a refugee crisis and an austere authoritarian government. Gripping and grim in equal measure, Cuarón and cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki conjure up a rich and textured world as a backdrop to a plot ripe with biblical allegory and commentary about our relationship to communities in crisis. Never less than captivating from the first frame until the bleak and barely optimistic ending and featuring several virtuoso sequences of incredible action film making, the verisimilitude of the world-building and its authenticity makes this one of my favourite movies of the noughties. As Cris puts it, if you haven't seen it this you should rectify that immediately and if you have, you need to watch it again.We love to hear from our listeners! By which I mean we tolerate it.

This Episode guest stars "Paul De Lumen". You might ask, who is Paul?"Born to Filipino immigrants in Oakland, California, Paul is an award-winning director of photography who works internationally in both scripted and documentary. After working at Lucasfilm, he earned his MFA in Cinematography from UCLA, learning from then cinematographer in residence, Roger Deakins, and afterwards working as an electrician for Emmanuel Lubezki.In 2009, he was awarded the ‘Colón de Plata' for Best Cinematography at the Huelva Latin-American Film Festival in Spain for his work on the Bolivian feature ZONA SUR, in which every scene was covered in a one-shot rotating master.  ZONA SUR won Best International Feature at Sundance 2010 and garnered praise in American Cinematographer magazine.His 2nd feature, LAND WITHOUT EVIL (IVY MARAEY), shot on 35mm film earned him honors at CamerImage 2014, Berlinale 2015 and the NY MOMA.His 4th narrative feature, 88, a political thriller, shot on anamorphic, premiered at 2022 Tribeca Film Festival and will be distributed in theaters early 2023.   Recently, TAB TIME Season 1-2, a children's show hosted by Tabitha Brown was nominated for 2 Emmy's, for Outstanding Preschool Series and Outstanding Host.  The visuals of TAB TIME were inspired by the soft lighting of Chivo in CAT IN THE HAT and the playful colors of PEE WEE'S PLAYHOUSE. On the documentary front, Paul recently lensed the visuals for a Netflix documentary directed by Sam Pollard on the late basketball great, Bill Russell, and his impact on the modern athlete using their platform for activism and change, and is currently collaborating with PJ Raval on an Untitled Philippines documentary addressing indigenous land rights in the mountain provinces.Paul's visuals are unique to each piece, fully supporting the story. When not on set, Paul can be found playing tennis or soccer, or in the islands with his family.

The sandwich is one of humanities greatest discoveries, along with the wheel and RollBot, the robotic toilet paper valet, so we sat down to chat about them. Perhaps it's the sheer variety of fillings that you can put in between two pieces of bread which inspired us but there's a real assortment of unusual choices this week; once we get on a roll, it becomes difficult to wrap things up. Ever since my youngest discovered Paddington I've been quietly chuckling about pairing Alejandro González Iñárritu's THE REVENANT with it for one of our reviews, due to the bear content which binds them both together, however I've yet to find anybody who thinks this is as funny as I do. Happily though the 2015 revenge drama and multiple Academy Award winner stands on its own right without my futile attempts at humour. When frontiersman Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) sustains horrific injuries in a brutal bear attack and is left for dead by his hunting team in the Alaskan wilderness of the 1820's, the grief stricken trapper must use his survival skills to find his way home, fuelled by a single thought: vengeance. A superb arthouse thriller with a refreshing lack of tedious discussions about the morality of revenge until the very end, it features a strong and often revolting lead performance from DiCaprio which finally snagged him a Best Actor Oscar opposite a terrific mumbly-mouthed Tom Hardy as the ruthless Fitzgerald, and fellow brits Domhnall Gleeson and Will Poulter particularly strong amongst the supporting cast. Iñárritu's collaborations with Emmanuel Lubezki often dazzle in a technical sense and this is no exception, but this really has one of the qualities of great cinema: that sense of transporting you to another time and place, and though plot wise it's all fairly simple stuff, the film has the confidence to plunge you into its world without holding your hand. THE ADVENTURES OF PADDINGTON is a 2020 CGI continuation of the Paddington Cinematic Universe (PCU), set between the events of the first and second Paddington movies but closely mimicking the visual style and thoughtful morality of the original 1976 stop motion animation. You'll never f*cking guess what Paddington finds in Season 1, Episode 1's “Paddington Finds a Pigeon”. Sidey relives terrible memories and Paddington is almost universally panned, with Reegs a sole voice of reason against the braying moaning of the rest of the dads. Gary Barlow wrote the theme tune though so if you were on the fence before that might just sway your vote.We love to hear from our listeners! By which I mean we tolerate it.

Sandra Bullock vs. de ruimte. Dat is de kortste manier om de plot van Gravity samen te vatten. Met deze film uit 2013 harkte de Mexicaanse regisseur Alfonso Cuarón zijn eerste Oscars binnen. Het staat nog steeds bekend om het zeldzaam goede gebruik van 3D-technologie, maar op wetenschappelijk vlak wordt er al van meet af aan een beetje de draak mee gestoken. En dat is nog maar het tipje van de ijsberg voor Lies Bruines, die al op meerdere halfronden filmfestivals heeft gecoördineerd en haar eigen videoprductiebedrijf heeft. Zij hoopte in de bios op een feministisch astronautenepos, maar kreeg een zeurderig prinsesje in een eindeloze leegte. En dan heeft ook nog George Clooney een grotere schaduw over deze film geworpen dan strikt noodzakelijk is. We hebben het ook over de incompetentie van de astronauten in Gravity, hoe Sandra Bullock een Oscar en een Razzie won in één jaar en over waarom The Net meer feminisme bevat dan deze film.

April Stinkers Day hacks up its hairball a little early this year as Alex, Rocco, and Matt relax their USUALLY strict #NoStinkers policy to let this mangey stray onto the pod. And we couldn't possibly celebrate another April Stinkers Day without our filmmaker friend Giovanni Iacobucci (modmythmedia.com, donut.media), who we must apologize to once more for making him watch...THE CAT IN THE HAT! A film that Mike Myers was court-ordered to make. One that also nearly spiraled his career highs had it not been for the cash cow of SHREK. Also the movie that made Dr. Seuss's widow forbid Hollywood from ever making another live-action adaptation. And somehow, one that most people have not seen... but within five minutes of watching it for this podcast, we know exactly why not!Also starring Alec Baldwin, Kelly Preston, Dakota Fanning, Spencer Breslin, Sean Hayes (in two insufferable roles), Paris Hilton, and Amy Hill; directed by Bo Welch (Tim Burton's production designer & Mr. Catherine O'Hara); written by Alec Berg, David Mandel, and Jeff Schaffer (three titans of one-word shows like Barry, Seinfeld, Veep, and Clerks), plus by whatever nonsense came out of Myers's mouth that day; shot by Emmanuel Lubezki (Sleepy Hollow, Gravity, Birdman); and produced under Steven Spielberg's Dreamworks banner!

In the season finale of Season 5 (Dystopia Myopia) Kyle is joined by a panel of guests, script supervisor Katy Baldwin, fellow podcaster Ben Thelen, and cinematographer Josh Carter, to discuss Alfonso Cuarón's ode to the everlasting light of hope in humanity in the melancholic but heartening nativity story of Children of Men.

"Si ce film est le plus connu, c'est pour ces plans-séquences de maboul !" nous rappelle Nathan dans cet épisode.  Après l'immense succès de Harry Potter et le Prisonnier d'Azkaban qui propulsera Alfonso Cuarón dans la liste des réalisateurs les plus plebiscités d'Hollywood, ce dernier décide de revenir sur un scénario sur lequel il était associé depuis 2001. Bien que n'ayant même pas lu le roman eponyme de P.D. James, le cinéaste mexicain se sent prêt à s'attaquer à ce thriller d'anticipation sur le sol britannique. Les Fils de l'Homme d'Alfonso Cuarón peut paraître être un choix surprenant quand on sait qu'aujourd'hui il est considéré comme culte et tout simplement l'un des meilleurs films d'anticipation. Mais ça n'a pas été le cas à sa sortie malgré les critiques dithyrambiques et la fascination technique que provoque le film. Nathan revient sur cette réception publique mitigée et nous parle surtout des personnes incontournables à l'inventivité et la réussite de ce film.  On en parle dans l'épisode, il y a un making-of IN-CON-TOUR-NA-BLES d'un plan-séquence du film sur Youtube :  La scène du film en question ici   et son making-of là  Bonne écoute !  CRÉDITS : Retake est un podcast animé par Kev et Nathan.

Bob introduces brad to one of his favorite films of the 21st century, Alfonso Cuaron's Children of Men. Of course, in true Brad fashion, he's cooler on it than Bob, but our hosts can at least bond over some incredible Emmanuel Lubezki cinematography. Meanwhile, they sip on Elijah Craig 18, one of the few well-aged bourbons not offered by Buffalo Trace, and wonder aloud how long is too long in the barrel for a bourbon. Film & Whiskey Podcast.

When people talk about movies based on books, the often say the book is better than the movie. But what if it wasn't. Is it okay to admit that the movie is better than the book?

We ask and answer: how does this decade compare to previous ones? are any of our all time favorites in this decade? what are our alternates? we also briefly go through a couple top movies lists and see if we agree at all with the rankings. movies discussed in this episode: Boyhood, Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood, Parasite, Lady Bird, Roma, Black Panther, Moonlight, Blade Runner 2049, The Social Network, Death of Stalin, Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Looper, Dunkirk, Interstellar, La La Land, Phantom Thread, Steve Jobs (2015), and The Master. *Correction note: Wes mentions that the cinematographer of ‘Roma’ was Emmanuel Lubezki, however the cinematographer was actually the films director, Alfonso Cuarón.

Robby Baumgartner began his film career 28 years ago in New York City. His interest in lighting inspired him to choose the unconventional route to DP via Gaffing.This career path allowed him to light films and learn from some of the most talented DP's in the business: Rodrigo Prieto, Chris Menges, Robert Elswit, Dante Spinotti, Darius Khondji, Janusz Kaminski, and Emmanuel Lubezki. Some of the films include: “8 Mile”, “25th Hour”, “21 Grams”, “Babel”, “Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada”, and “There Will be Blood”.In between Gaffing gigs he took every opportunity to DP or camera-operate on feature films, 2nd-unit photography, commercials, and shorts.Then in 2008 “There Will be Blood” shot by Robert Elswit, won the Oscar for Best Cinematography; the highest honor for any DP/Gaffing team. That event was the impetus for Robby to stop gaffing and DP exclusively.In 2009 Robby joined the International Cinematographers Guild as a DP. Since then he has gone on to shoot 2nd unit on both “Hunger Games” l and ll, “Water for Elephants”, and “Argo” amongst other films. For the last 5 years he has been concentrating on shooting main unit for films such as “The Guest”, “Blair Witch (2016)” and now “Blindspotting”, which has been selected for competition in the US Dramatic category at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival.W: http://robbybaumgartner.com/about/Like to have a ASC cinematographer as a mentor?Have you thought of upgrading your cinematography game?

“I cannot pontificate about it, but by the time I'm done, I will have done one movie, and it's all the movies I want.People say, you know, "I like your Spanish movies more than I like your English-language movies because they are not as personal", and I go "Fuck, you're wrong!" Hellboy is as personal to me as Pan's Labyrinth. They're tonally different, and yes, of course you can like one more than the other – the other one may seem banal or whatever it is that you don't like. But it really is part of the same movie. You make one movie. Hitchcock did one movie, all his life.” —Guillermo del Toro, Twitch Film, January 15, 2013 Ok, passengers! First off, if you don’t know who Guermillo Del Toro is, press pause on this show, smack yourself in the mouth and then go watch Pan’s Labrynth, Hellboy or even Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark and then come back to finish. Go on… git! We’ll wait! Del Toro was born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, the son of Guadalupe Gómez and Federico del Toro Torres, an automotive entrepreneur. Both of whom are of Spanish descent. He was raised in a strict Catholic household. Del Toro studied at the Centro de Investigación y Estudios Cinematográficos, at the University of Guadalajara. Having a taste for the macabre at an early age, del Toro decorated his family home with decidedly spooky elements. Del Toro loves monsters. . He claims that monsters used to crowd into his room at night, and he made a pact with them: If they let him go to the washroom, he’d be their friend for life. It worked, and del Toro says, “To this day, monsters are the thing I love most.” Del Toro liked monsters so much as a child that his Catholic grandmother, fearing for his soul, performed a real-life exorcism on him, and when that didn’t work, she actually performed a second one. Del Toro considers himself a book-person first and foremost, and there were two books that shaped his universe as a child. One was an encyclopedia of health (which led to an obsession with anatomy), and the other an encyclopedia of art. When del Toro was about eight years old, he began experimenting with his father's Super 8 camera, making short films with Planet of the Apes toys and other objects. One short focused on a "serial killer potato" with ambitions of world domination; it murdered del Toro's mother and brothers before stepping outside and being crushed by a car.  Del Toro made about 10 short films before his first feature, including one titled Matilde, but only the last two, Doña Lupe and Geometria, have been made available.  He wrote four episodes and directed five episodes of the cult series La Hora Marcada, along with other Mexican filmmakers such as Emmanuel Lubezki and Alfonso Cuarón.Del Toro got his first big break when he made Cronos in 1993.The movie, about the effects of a device that confers immortality, won nine Ariel Awards from the Mexican Academy of Film—including best picture, best director, best screenplay, and best original story—and also received the International Critics’ Week grand prize at the Cannes film festival.  Del Toro studied special effects and make-up with special-effects artist Dick Smith. Dick Smith had been a huge influence on del Toro throughout his life. He bought Smith’s make-up kit when The Exorcist came out in 1973, and applied for his make-up course in New York in 1987.  He spent 10 years as a special-effects make-up designer and formed his own company, Necropia. He also co-founded the Guadalajara International Film Festival. Later in his directing career, he formed his own production company, the Tequila Gang. In 1997, at the age of 33, Guillermo was given a $30 million budget from Miramax Films to shoot another film, Mimic. After turning in a draft of his screenplay for Mimic to Miramax, the studio was not happy with how little was explained about the creatures at the centre of the story, and decided to commission a number of rewrites. One of these drafts was written by none other than Steven Soderbergh, but almost none of his work ended up in the film. Del Toro is not a fan of second unit work, and for his director’s cut of Mimic he managed to excise the majority of the second unit footage. Robert Rodriguez was one of the second unit directors on the film. Mimic was a very troubled production, and del Toro claims that his experience butting heads with studio execs at Miramax was actually more traumatic than his father’s kidnapping( which we'll discuss in a bit): “What was happening to me and the movie was far more illogical than kidnapping, which is brutal, but at least there are rules.” He was ultimately unhappy with the way Miramax had treated him during production, which led to his friend James Cameron almost coming to blows with Miramax co-founder and owner Harvey Weinstein during the 70th Academy Awards. In 2001 Del toro made The Devil's backbone. The Devil’s Backbone, was produced by renowned Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodovar. Almodovar afforded del Toro a level of creative freedom that he’d never experienced up to that point, and the eternally grateful del Toro has tried to pay this gesture forward as a producer for many directors’ films. The film was an international co-production between Spain and Mexico. Del Toro wrote the first draft before writing his debut film Cronos. This "very different" version was set in the Mexican Revolution and focused not on a child's ghost but a "Christ with three arms". According to del Toro, and as drawn in his notebooks, there were many iterations of the story, some of which included antagonists who were a "doddering ... old man with a needle," a "desiccated" ghost with black eyes as a caretaker (instead of the living Jacinto who terrorizes the orphans), and "beings who are red from head to foot." As to motivation for the villain, according to the actor who portrayed him (Eduardo Noriega), Jacinto "suffered a lot when he was a child at this orphanage. Somebody probably treated him wickedly: this is his heritage. And then there is the brutalizing effect of the War." Noriega further notes that "What Guillermo did was to write a biography of Jacinto (which went into Jacinto's parents, what they did in life, and more) and gave it to me." DDT Studios in Barcelona created the final version of the crying ghost (victim and avenger) Santi, with his temple that resembled cracked, aged porcelain. The response was overwhelmingly positive, though it did not receive the critical success that Pan's Labyrinth would in 2006. Del Toro considers The Devil’s Backbone and Pan’s Labyrinth to be companion pieces, and claims that they reveal “symmetries and reflections” if watched together. His next film was on 2002, Blade 2. directed by Guillermo Del Toro and written by David S. Goyer, it is a sequel to the first film and the second part of the Blade film series, followed by Blade: Trinity. Guillermo del Toro was hired to direct Blade II by New Line production president Michael De Luca after Stephen Norrington turned down the offer to direct the sequel. Del Toro chose not to alter the script too much from the ideas created by Goyer and Snipes. "I wanted the movie to have a feeling of both a comic book and Japanese animation", said the director. "I resurrected those sources and viewed them again. I dissected most of the dailies from the first movie; I literally grabbed about four boxes of tapes and one by one saw every single tape from beginning to end until I perfectly understood where the language of the first film came from. I studied the style of the first one and I think Norrington used a tremendous narrative style. His work is very elegant". Blade II was released on March 22, 2002. This was during a period of the year (months March and April) considered to be a bad time for sequels to be released. Despite this, the film became the highest-grossing film of the Blade series, making $80 million in the United States and $150 million worldwide.  Hellboy is a 2004 supernatural superhero film written and directed by Guillermo del Toro from a story by Del Toro and Peter Briggs. It is based on the Dark Horse Comics graphic novel Hellboy: Seed of Destruction by Mike Mignola. Del Toro and Hellboy creator Mike Mignola envisioned the film as a Ray Harryhausen film. The film was shopped and rejected by various studios for years due to studios disliking the title, script, and the fact that Perlman was cast as Hellboy.[7][8] Del Toro invited Harryhausen to teach the film's animators what made his effects techniques unique but he declined, feeling that modern films were too violent. While writing the script, Del Toro researched occult Nazi philosophies and used them as a reference for the film's opening scene. In an early version of the script, the gyroscope portal was described being made out of rails that formed into pentagrams, hexagrams, and inverted stars to illustrate the film's magic and occult elements. Del Toro chose to alter the origin from the comic to give main characters interconnected origins. Aside from working with Perlman before, Del Toro chose him for the title role because he felt Perlman can deliver subtlety and nuance with makeup.[23] Del Toro assigned his real life friend, Santiago Segura, to play the train driver who assaults Hellboy. The film was shot 6 days a week for 130 days, Mondays through Saturdays without a second unit. Sundays were reserved for editing.  Del Toro noted that the film could have commenced filming in 1998, however, the film had difficulty finding a committed studio due to the stigma Hollywood associated superhero and comic book films with, at the time. The action scenes were staged after Harryhausen films with little to no camera movement using wide shots. The cemetery sequence was filmed in a real cemetery in Prague. Pan's labyrinth is a  2006 dark fantasy film written and directed by Guillermo del Toro. The film is  a Spanish-Mexican co-production. Del Toro stated that he considers the story to be a parable, influenced by fairy tales, and that it addresses and continues themes related to his earlier film The Devil's Backbone, to which Pan's Labyrinth is a spiritual successor, according to del Toro in his director's DVD commentary. The idea for Pan's Labyrinth came from Guillermo del Toro's notebooks, which he says are filled with "doodles, ideas, drawings and plot bits". He had been keeping these notebooks for twenty years. At one point during production, he left the notebook in a taxi in London and was distraught, but the cabbie returned it to him two days later. Though he originally wrote a story about a pregnant woman who falls in love with a faun,[12] Sergi López said that del Toro described the final version of the plot a year and a half before filming. Lopez said that "for two hours and a half he explained to me all the movie, but with all the details, it was incredible, and when he finished I said, 'You have a script?' He said, 'No, nothing is written'". López agreed to act in the movie and received the script one year later; he said that "it was exactly the same, it was incredible. In his little head he had all the history with a lot of little detail, a lot of characters, like now when you look at the movie, it was exactly what he had in his head".  Del Toro got the idea of the faun from childhood experiences with "lucid dreaming". He stated on The Charlie Rose Show that every midnight, he would wake up, and a faun would gradually step out from behind the grandfather's clock. Originally, the faun was supposed to be a classic half-man, half-goat faun fraught with beauty. But in the end, the faun was altered into a goat-faced creature almost completely made out of earth, moss, vines, and tree bark. Some of the  works he drew on for inspiration include Lewis Carroll's Alice books, Jorge Luis Borges' Ficciones, Arthur Machen's The Great God Pan and The White People, Lord Dunsany's The Blessing of Pan, Algernon Blackwood's Pan's Garden and Francisco Goya's works. In 2004, del Toro said: "Pan is an original story. Some of my favourite writers (Borges, Blackwood, Machen, Dunsany) have explored the figure of the god Pan and the symbol of the labyrinth. These are things that I find very compelling and I am trying to mix them and play with them." It was also influenced by the illustrations of Arthur Rackham.There are differing ideas about the film's religious influences. Del Toro himself has said that he considers Pan's Labyrinth "a truly profane film, a layman's riff on Catholic dogma", but that his friend Alejandro González Iñárritu described it as "a truly Catholic film". Del Toro's explanation is "once a Catholic, always a Catholic," however he also admits that the Pale Man's preference for children rather than the feast in front of him is intended as a criticism of the Catholic Church. Additionally, the priest's words during the torture scene were taken as a direct quote from a priest who offered communion to political prisoners during the Spanish Civil War: "Remember my sons, you should confess what you know because God doesn't care what happens to your bodies; He already saved your souls." Hellboy II: The Golden Army is a 2008 American superhero film based on the fictional character Hellboy created by Mike Mignola. The film was written and directed by  del Toro and is a sequel to the 2004 film Hellboy, which del Toro also directed. Ron Perlman reprises his starring role as the eponymous character. Hellboy II: The Golden Army was released by Universal Pictures.The director sought to create a film trilogy with the first sequel anticipated for release in 2006. Revolution Studios planned to produce the film and distribute it through a deal with Columbia Pictures, but by 2006, their distribution deal wasn't renewed and Revolution began refocusing on exploiting their film library. In August 2006, Universal Pictures acquired the project with the intent to finance and distribute the sequel, which was newly scheduled to be released in summer of 2008. Production was scheduled to begin in April 2007 in Etyek, Hungary (near Budapest) and London, England. del Toro explored several concepts for the sequel, initially planning to recreate the classic versions of Frankenstein, Dracula and the Wolf Man. He and comic book creator Mike Mignola also spent a few days adapting the Almost Colossus story, featuring Roger the Homunculus. They then found it easier to create an original story based on folklore, because del Toro was planning Pan's Labyrinth, and Mignola's comics were becoming increasingly based on mythology. Later, del Toro pitched a premise to Revolution Studios that involved four Titans from the four corners of Earth—Wind, Water, Fire, and Earth—before he replaced the Titans with a Golden Army. Mignola described the theme of the sequel, "The focus is more on the folklore and fairy tale aspect of Hellboy. It's not Nazis, machines and mad scientists but the old gods and characters who have been kind of shoved out of our world." Pacific Rim is a 2013 science-fiction monster film directed by del Toro. In February 2006, it was reported that Guillermo del Toro would direct Travis Beacham's fantasy screenplay, Killing on Carnival Row, but the project never materialized.[48] Beacham conceived Pacific Rim the following year. While walking on the beach near Santa Monica Pier, the screenwriter imagined a giant robot and a giant monster fighting to the death. "They just sort of materialized out of the fog, these vast, godlike things." He later conceived the idea that each robot had two pilots, asking "what happens when one of those people dies?" Deciding this would be "a story about loss, moving on after loss, and dealing with survivor's guilt", Beacham commenced writing the film. On May 28, 2010, it was reported that Legendary Pictures had purchased Beacham's detailed 25-page film treatment, now titled Pacific Rim. On July 28, 2010, it was reported that del Toro would next direct an adaptation of H. P. Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness for Universal Studios, with James Cameron producing.[51] When del Toro met with Legendary Pictures to discuss the possibility of collaborating with them on a film, he was intrigued by Beacham's treatment—still a "very small pitch" at this point. Del Toro struck a deal with Legendary: while directing At the Mountains of Madness, he would produce and co-write Pacific Rim; because of the films' conflicting production schedules, he would direct Pacific Rim only if At the Mountains of Madness were cancelled. Tom Cruise was attached to star in the Lovecraft adaptation. On March 7, 2011, it was reported that Universal would not proceed with At the Mountains of Madness because del Toro was unwilling to compromise on the $150 million budget and R rating. The director later reflected, "When it happened, this has never happened to me, but I actually cried that weekend a lot. I don't want to sound like a puny soul, but I really was devastated. I was weeping for the movie." The project collapsed on a Friday, and del Toro signed to direct Pacific Rim the following Monday. Del Toro spent a year working with Beacham on the screenplay, and is credited as co-writer. He introduced ideas he had always wished to see in the genre, such as a Kaiju birth and a Kaiju attack seen from a child's perspective. The film was shot using Red Epic cameras.[65] At first Guillermo del Toro decided not to shoot or convert the film to 3D, as the effect would not work due to the sheer size of the film's robots and monsters, explaining I didn't want to make the movie 3D because when you have things that big ... the thing that happens naturally, you're looking at two buildings lets say at 300 feet [away], if you move there is no parallax. They're so big that, in 3D, you barely notice anything no matter how fast you move ... To force the 3D effects for robots and monsters that are supposed to be big you are making their [perspective] miniaturized, making them human scale. It was later announced that the film would be converted to 3D, with the conversion taking 40 weeks longer than most. Del Toro said: "What can I tell you? I changed my mind. I'm not running for office. I can do a Romney."  Del Toro envisioned Pacific Rim as an earnest, colorful adventure story, with an "incredibly airy and light feel", in contrast to the "super-brooding, super-dark, cynical summer movie". The director focused on "big, beautiful, sophisticated visuals" and action that would satisfy an adult audience, but has stated his "real hope" is to introduce the Kaiju and mecha genres to a generation of children. While the film draws heavily on these genres, it avoids direct references to previous works. Del Toro intended to create something original but "madly in love" with its influences, instilled with "epic beauty" and "operatic grandeur". The film was to honor the Kaiju and mecha genres while creating an original stand-alone film, something "conscious of the heritage, but not a pastiche or an homage or a greatest hits of everything". The director made a point of starting from scratch, without emulating or referencing any previous examples of those genres. He cautioned his designers not to turn to films like Gamera, Godzilla, or The War of the Gargantuas for inspiration, stating: "I didn't want to be postmodern, or referential, or just belong to a genre. I really wanted to create something new, something madly in love with those things. I tried to bring epic beauty to it, and drama and operatic grandeur." Crimson Peak is a 2015 gothic romance film directed by  del Toro and written by del Toro and Matthew Robbins. The story, set in Victorian era England, follows an aspiring author who travels to a remote Gothic mansion in the English hills with her new husband and his sister. There, she must decipher the mystery behind the ghostly visions that haunt her new home. Del Toro and Robbins wrote the original spec script after the release of Pan's Labyrinth in 2006. It was sold quietly to Donna Langley at Universal. Del Toro planned to direct the film, but postponed the project to make Hellboy II: The Golden Army, and then again to work on The Hobbit films. Langley suggested that del Toro produce the film for another director, but he could not find one he deemed suitable. While directing Pacific Rim, del Toro developed a good working relationship with Legendary Pictures' Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni, who asked what he wanted to do next. Del Toro sent them his screenplays for a film adaptation of At the Mountains of Madness, a Western adaptation of The Count of Monte Cristo, and Crimson Peak. The producers deemed the last of these "the best project for us, just the right size". Universal allowed del Toro to move the project to Legendary, with the caveat that they could put up money for a stake in the film. Del Toro called the film a "ghost story and gothic romance". He has described it as "a very set-oriented, classical but at the same time modern take on the ghost story", and said that it would allow him to play with the genres' conventions while subverting their rules. He stated, "I think people are getting used to horror subjects done as found footage or B-value budgets. I wanted this to feel like a throwback." Del Toro wanted the film to honor the "grand dames" of the haunted house genre, namely Robert Wise's The Haunting and Jack Clayton's The Innocents. The director intended to make a large-scale horror film in the tradition of those he grew up watching, such as The Omen, The Exorcist, and The Shining. He cited the latter as "another Mount Everest of the haunted house movie", praising the high production values and Stanley Kubrick's control over the large sets. British playwright Lucinda Coxon was enlisted to rewrite the script with del Toro, in hopes of bringing it a "proper degree of perversity and intelligence", but she is not credited on the finished film. The Shape of Water is a 2017 romantic fantasy drama film directed del Toro and written by del Toro and Vanessa Taylor. Set in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1962, the story follows a mute cleaner at a high-security government laboratory who falls in love with a captured humanoid amphibian creature. Filming took place in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, between August and November 2016.  The idea for The Shape of Water formed during del Toro's breakfast with Daniel Kraus in 2011, with whom he later co-wrote the novel Trollhunters. It shows similarities to the 2015 short film The Space Between Us. It was also primarily inspired by del Toro's childhood memories of seeing Creature from the Black Lagoon and wanting to see the Gill-man and Kay Lawrence (played by Julie Adams) succeed in their romance. When del Toro was in talks with Universal to direct a remake of Creature from the Black Lagoon, he tried pitching a version focused more on the creature's perspective, where the Creature ended up together with the female lead, but the studio executives rejected the concept. Del Toro set the film during the 1960s Cold War era to counteract today's heightened tensions: "if I say once upon a time in 1962, it becomes a fairy tale for troubled times. People can lower their guard a little bit more and listen to the story and listen to the characters and talk about the issues, rather than the circumstances of the issues".  In an interview with IndieWire about the film, del Toro said: This movie is a healing movie for me. ... For nine movies I rephrased the fears of my childhood, the dreams of my childhood, and this is the first time I speak as an adult, about something that worries me as an adult. I speak about trust, otherness, sex, love, where we're going. These are not concerns that I had when I was nine or seven." The Shape of Water grossed $63.9 million in the United States and Canada, and $131.4 million in other countries, for a total of $195.2 million. The film had received a universally favorable response from critics and audiences.  Pinocchio is an upcoming stop-motion animated musical dark fantasy film co-written and directed by Guillermo del Toro, based on Gris Grimly’s design from his 2002 edition of the 1883 Italian novel The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi. It was written from a screenplay by del Toro, Gris Grimly, Patrick McHale and Matthew Robbins and a story by del Toro and Robbins. The film marks the animated feature film directorial debut of Guillermo del Toro. In 2008, Guillermo del Toro announced that his next project, a darker adaptation of the Italian novel The Adventures of Pinocchio, was in development. He has called Pinocchio his passion project, stating that: "no art form has influenced my life and my work more than animation and no single character in history has had as deep of a personal connection to me as Pinocchio", and "I've wanted to make this movie for as long as I can remember". On February 17, 2011, it was announced that Gris Grimly and Mark Gustafson would co-direct a stop motion animated Pinocchio film written by Guillermo del Toro and Matthew Robbins based by Grimly's designs, with del Toro producing along with The Jim Henson Company and Pathé. On May 17, 2012, del Toro took over for Grimly. On February 2012, Del Toro released some concept arts with the designs of Pinocchio, Geppetto, the Talking Cricket, Mangiafuoco and the Fox and the Cat. On July 30, 2012, it was announced that the film would be produced and animated by ShadowMachine. On January 23, 2017, Patrick McHale was announced to co-write the script with del Toro. On August 31, 2017, del Toro told IndieWire and at the 74th Venice International Film Festival that the film need a budget increase of $35 million more dollars or it would be cancelled. On November 8, 2017, he reported that the project was not happening, because no studios were willing to finance it.[9] At one point, Matthew Robbins considered making the movie as a 2D-animated film with French artist Joann Sfar to bring the costs down, but del Toro eventually decided that it had to be stop-motion, even if the higher budget made it harder get greenlighted. However, on October 22, 2018, it was announced that the film had been revived, with Netflix acquiring it.  So that's his  film history as a director let's get into some other aspects of his life!!He was married to Lorenza Newton, cousin of Mexican singer Guadalupe Pineda. They have two children. He started dating Lorenza when both were studying at the Instituto de Ciencias in Guadalajara. Del Toro and Newton separated in early 2017, and divorced in September of the same year. He maintains residences in Toronto and Los Angeles, and returns to Guadalajara every six weeks to visit his family. He also owns two houses devoted exclusively to his collection of books, poster artwork and other belongings pertaining to his work. He explains, "As a kid, I dreamed of having a house with secret passages and a room where it rained 24 hours a day. The point of being over 40 is to fulfill the desires you've been harboring since you were 7." Politics EditIn a 2007 interview, del Toro described his political position as "a little too liberal". He pointed out that the villains in most of his films, such as the industrialist in Cronos, the Nazis in Hellboy, and the Francoists in Pan's Labyrinth, are united by the common attribute of authoritarianism. "I hate structure. I'm completely anti-structural in terms of believing in institutions. I hate them. I hate any institutionalised social, religious, or economic holding." Religion EditDel Toro was raised Roman Catholic. In a 2009 interview with Charlie Rose, he described his upbringing as excessively "morbid," saying, "I mercifully lapsed as a Catholic ... but as Buñuel used to say, 'I'm an atheist, thank God.'" Though insisting that he is spiritually "not with Buñuel" and that "once a Catholic, always a Catholic, in a way." He concluded, "I believe in Man. I believe in mankind, as the worst and the best that has happened to this world." He has also responded to the observation that he views his art as his religion by saying, "It is. To me, art and storytelling serve primal, spiritual functions in my daily life. Whether I'm telling a bedtime story to my kids or trying to mount a movie or write a short story or a novel, I take it very seriously." Nevertheless, he became a "raging atheist" after seeing a pile of human fetuses while volunteering at a Mexican hospital. He has claimed to be horrified by the way the Catholic Church complied with Francoist Spain, down to having a character in his film quote what actual priests would say to Republican faction members in concentration camps.[66] Upon discovering the religious beliefs of C.S. Lewis, Del Toro has stated that he no longer feels comfortable enjoying his work, despite having done so beforehand. He describes Lewis as "too Catholic" for him, despite the fact that Lewis was never a Catholic. However, Del Toro isn't entirely disparaging of Catholicism, and his background continues to influence his work. While discussing The Shape of Water, Del Toro discussed the Catholic influence on the film, stating, "A very Catholic notion is the humble force, or the force of humility, that gets revealed as a god-like figure toward the end. It's also used in fairy tales. In fairy tales, in fact, there is an entire strand of tales that would be encompassed by the title 'The Magical Fish.' And [it's] not exactly a secret that a fish is a Christian symbol." In the same interview, he still maintained that he does not believe in an afterlife, stating "I don't think there is life beyond death, I don't. But I do believe that we get this clarity in the last minute of our life. The titles we achieved, the honors we managed, they all vanish. You are left alone with you and your deeds and the things you didn't do. And that moment of clarity gives you either peace or the most tremendous fear, because you finally have no cover, and you finally realize exactly who you are." In 2010, del Toro revealed that he was a fan of video games, describing them as "the comic books of our time" and "a medium that gains no respect among the intelligentsia". He has stated that he considers Ico and Shadow of the Colossus to be masterpieces. He has cited Gadget Invention, Travel, & Adventure, Cosmology of Kyoto, Asteroids and Galaga as his favorite games. Del Toro's favorite film monsters are Frankenstein's monster, the Alien, Gill-man, Godzilla, and the Thing. Frankenstein in particular has a special meaning for him, in both film and literature, as he claims he has a "Frankenstein fetish to a degree that is unhealthy", and that it's "the most important book of my life, so you know if I get to it, whenever I get to it, it will be the right way". He has Brazil, Nosferatu, Freaks and Bram Stoker's Dracula listed among his favourite films. Del Toro is also highly interested in Victorian culture. He said: "I have a room of my library at home called 'The Dickens room'. It has every work by Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins and many other Victorian novelists, plus hundreds of works about Victorian London and its customs, etiquette, architecture. I'm a Jack the Ripper aficionado, too. My museum-slash-home has a huge amount of Ripperology in it". Father's 1997 kidnapping EditAround 1997, del Toro's father, Federico del Toro Torres, was kidnapped in Guadalajara. Del Toro's family had to pay twice the amount originally asked for as a ransom; immediately after learning of the kidnapping, fellow filmmaker James Cameron, a friend of Del Toro since they met during the production of 1993's Cronos, withdrew over $1 million in cash from his bank account and gave it to Del Toro to help pay the ransom. After the ransom was paid, Federico was released, having spent 72 days kidnapped; the culprits were never apprehended, and the money of both Cameron and Del Toro's family was never recovered. The event prompted del Toro, his parents, and his siblings to move abroad. In a 2008 interview with Time magazine, he said this about the kidnapping of his father: "Every day, every week, something happens that reminds me that I am in involuntary exile [from my country]." Del Toro has directed a wide variety of films, from comic book adaptations (Blade II, Hellboy) to historical fantasy and horror films, two of which are set in Spain in the context of the Spanish Civil War under the authoritarian rule of Francisco Franco. These two films, The Devil's Backbone and Pan's Labyrinth, are among his most critically acclaimed works. They share similar settings, protagonists and themes with the 1973 Spanish film The Spirit of the Beehive, widely considered to be the finest Spanish film of the 1970s. Del Toro views the horror genre as inherently political, explaining, "Much like fairy tales, there are two facets of horror. One is pro-institution, which is the most reprehensible type of fairy tale: Don't wander into the woods, and always obey your parents. The other type of fairy tale is completely anarchic and antiestablishment." He is close friends with two other prominent and critically praised Mexican filmmakers Alfonso Cuarón and Alejandro González Iñárritu. The three often influence each other's directorial decisions, and have been interviewed together by Charlie Rose. Cuarón was one of the producers of Pan's Labyrinth, while Iñárritu assisted in editing the film. The three filmmakers, referred to as the "Three Amigos" founded the production company Cha Cha Cha Films, whose first release was 2008's Rudo y Cursi. Del Toro has also contributed to the web series Trailers from Hell. In April 2008, del Toro was hired by Peter Jackson to direct the live-action film adaptation of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. On May 30, 2010, del Toro left the project due to extended delays brought on by MGM's financial troubles. Although he did not direct the films, he is credited as co-writer in An Unexpected Journey, The Desolation of Smaug and The Battle of the Five Armies. On December 1, 2008, del Toro expressed interest in a stop-motion remake to Roald Dahl's novel The Witches, collaborating with Alfonso Cuarón. On June 19, 2018 it was announced that Del Toro and Cuarón would instead be attached as Executive Producers on the remake with Robert Zemeckis helming the project as Director and Screenwriter. On June 2, 2009, del Toro's first novel, The Strain, was released. It is the first part of an apocalyptic vampire trilogy co-authored by del Toro and Chuck Hogan. The second volume, The Fall, was released on September 21, 2010. The final installment, The Night Eternal, followed in October 2011. Del Toro cites writings of Antoine Augustin Calmet, Montague Summers and Bernhardt J. Hurwood among his favourites in the non-literary form about vampires. On December 9, 2010, del Toro launched Mirada Studios with his long-time cinematographer Guillermo Navarro, director Mathew Cullen and executive producer Javier Jimenez. Mirada was formed in Los Angeles, California to be a collaborative space where they and other filmmakers can work with Mirada's artists to create and produce projects that span digital production and content for film, television, advertising, interactive and other media. Mirada launched as a sister company to production company Motion Theory. Del Toro directed Pacific Rim, a science fiction film based on a screenplay by del Toro and Travis Beacham. In the film, giant monsters rise from the Pacific Ocean and attack major cities, leading humans to retaliate with gigantic mecha suits called Jaegers. Del Toro commented, "This is my most un-modest film, this has everything. The scale is enormous and I'm just a big kid having fun." The film was released on July 12, 2013 and grossed $411 million at the box office. Del Toro directed "Night Zero", the pilot episode of The Strain, a vampire horror television series based on the novel trilogy of the same name by del Toro and Chuck Hogan. FX has commissioned the pilot episode, which del Toro scripted with Hogan and was filmed in Toronto in September 2013. FX ordered a thirteen-episode first season for the series on November 19, 2013, and series premiered on July 13, 2014. After The Strain's pilot episode, del Toro directed Crimson Peak, a gothic horror film he co-wrote with Matthew Robbins and Lucinda Cox. Del Toro has described the film as "a very set-oriented, classical but at the same time modern take on the ghost story", citing The Omen, The Exorcist and The Shining as influences. Del Toro also stated, "I think people are getting used to horror subjects done as found footage or B-value budgets. I wanted this to feel like a throwback." Jessica Chastain, Tom Hiddleston, Mia Wasikowska, and Charlie Hunnam starred in the film. Production began February 2014 in Toronto, with an April 2015 release date initially planned. The studio later pushed the date back to October 2015, to coincide with the Halloween season. He was selected to be on the jury for the main competition section of the 2015 Cannes Film Festival. Del Toro directed the Cold War drama film The Shape of Water, starring Sally Hawkins, Octavia Spencer, and Michael Shannon. Filming began on August 15, 2016 in Toronto, and wrapped twelve weeks later. On August 31, 2017, the film premiered in the main competition section of the 74th Venice International Film Festival, where it was awarded the Golden Lion for best film, making Del Toro the first Mexican director to win the award. The film became a critical and commercial success and would go on to win multiple accolades, including the Academy Award for Best Picture, with del Toro winning the Academy Award for Best Director. Del Toro collaborated with Japanese video game designer Hideo Kojima to produce P.T., a video game intended to be a "playable trailer" for the ninth Silent Hill game, which was cancelled. The demo was also removed from the PlayStation Network. At the D23 Expo in 2009, his Double Dare You production company and Disney announced a production deal for a line of darker animated films. The label was announced with one original animated project, Trollhunters. However, del Toro moved his deal to DreamWorks in late 2010. From 2016 to 2018, Trollhunters was released to great acclaim on Netflix and "is tracking to be its most-watched kids original ever". In 2017, Del Toro had an exhibition of work at the Minneapolis Institute of Art titled Guillermo del Toro: At Home with Monsters, featuring his collection of paintings, drawings, maquettes, artifacts, and concept film art. The exhibition ran from March 5, 2017, to May 28, 2017. In 2019, del Toro appeared in Hideo Kojima's video game Death Stranding, providing his likeness for the character Deadman. Upcoming projects EditIn 2008, del Toro announced Pinocchio, a dark stop-motion film based on the Italian novel The Adventures of Pinocchio, co-directed by Adam Parrish King, with The Jim Henson Company as production company, and music by Nick Cave. The project had been in development for over a decade. The pre-production was begun by the studio ShadowMachine. In 2017, del Toro announced that Patrick McHale is co-writing the script of the film. In the same year, del Toro revealed at the 74th Venice International Film Festival that the film will be reimagined during the rise of Benito Mussolini, and that he would need $35 million to make it. In November 2017, it was reported that del Toro had cancelled the project because no studios were willing to finance it. In October 2018, it was announced that the film had been revived, with Netflix backing the project. Netflix had previously collaborated with del Toro on Trollhunters. Many of the same details of the project remain the same, but with Mark Gustafson now co-directing rather than Adam Parrish King. In December 2017, Searchlight Pictures announced that del Toro would direct a new adaptation of the 1946 novel Nightmare Alley by William Lindsay Gresham, the screenplay of which he co-wrote with Kim Morgan. In 2019, it was reported that Bradley Cooper, Cate Blanchett, Toni Collette and Rooney Mara had closed deals to star in the film, which went into production in January 2020. https://aznmodern.com/2017/10/10/13-facts-guillermo-del-toro-may-not-know/ https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/guide/all-guillermo-del-toro-movies-ranked-by-tomatometer/ The Midnight Train Podcast is sponsored by VOUDOUX VODKA.www.voudoux.com Ace’s Depothttp://www.aces-depot.com BECOME A PRODUCER!http://www.patreon.com/themidnighttrainpodcast Find The Midnight Train Podcast:www.themidnighttrainpodcast.comwww.facebook.com/themidnighttrainpodcastwww.twitter.com/themidnighttrainpcwww.instagram.com/themidnighttrainpodcastwww.discord.com/themidnighttrainpodcastwww.tiktok.com/themidnighttrainp And wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts. Subscribe to our official YouTube channel:OUR YOUTUBE

“YOUR BABY IS THE MIRACLE THE WHOLE WORLD HAS BEEN WAITING FOR.”Very rarely does a film come along that can entertain with amazing action set pieces but also engage with real world issues. On this week's episode, we go into Children of Men, a 2006 science fiction film directed by future Academy Award Winner Alfonso Cuaron. We talk about the our first viewings of the film, and how the theatrical experience can enhance the experience of most film, even if it isn't the first time you've seen the film. We talk about how multiple viewings of a film can help bring even more insight into the inspiration, themes, and references of the film and how every department can help to bring those ideas into the viewer's mind. After re-watching the film, we go into the technical aspects of the film, including the hidden editing of the film, to the cinematography of Emmanuel Lubezki, who would go on to win 3 Oscars back-to-back-to-back for Gravity, Birdman, and the Revenant. We breakdown the multiple long take shots in the film and how they were achieved. Lastly, we go over why a film so celebrated by critic and audiences would go on to be a box office disaster and the dangers of large studio film productions. So enjoy this week's special episode of Retro Grade, as we wish a special Happy Birthday to both Jorge and Alfonso Cuaron.Music is from Triune Digital and audio clips pulled from movies we will be reviewing in other episodes.Artwork by @jannelle_o

Connor & Jon get ethereal when studying the philosophic and whispered Terrence Malick film: Knight of Cups.

El cine mexicano se caracteriza mas por representar problemas socioculturales, violencia y sobre todo la comedia, parte del cine mexicano que por excelencia se ha sabido explotar.Años 30s El cine de horror mexicano aparece en los años 30s, siendo la primer película basada en la leyenda colonial de la llorona. La Llorona (1933). Otras películas: El fantasma del convento (1934), El baúl macabro (1936). Directores: Ramón Peón, Fernando de Fuentes, Miguel de Zacarías - todas enfocadas en el terror fantástico. El director más destacado de esta década es Juan Bustillo de Oro, quién realizó Dos monjes, El misterio del rostro pálido y Nostradamus. Éstas películas muestran de manera artística edificios con ángulos muy pronunciados, ambientes con muchas personas, tener pintados suelo o paredes para hacer parecer un efecto de luz y rareza. Se toman temas de locura, traiciones o temas de caracter mental. Estos son elementos que se adoptaron y eran influencia del expresionismo alemán que aprecía recurrentemente en el cine en la década previa. Entonces, elmentos presentes en esta década son: fantasmas, maldiciones, leyendas. Años 40s y 50s Se introduce a los luchadores en el genero con la cinta La bestia magnifica (1952). Se realizaban versiones de los clásicos de norteamerica, de los moustros de universal, donde el protagonista que combatía a estos seres era otros grandes del cine de acción mexicano, El Santo y Blue Demon. También hay cintas de horror western como El jinete sin cabeza (1957). Cabe mencionar que la película El vampiro (1957) es una obra cumbre del terror mexicano en blanco y Negro protagonizada por el actor German Robles y quien se convertiria en actor principal por las siguientes dos decadas. Curiosidad, introduce por primera vez los típicos colmillos del vampiro un año antes que Christoper Lee en Dracula de la Hammer. Elementos presentes: fantasía con bestías, western, vampiros. 60s Epoca dorada del cine de horror Los trabajos de Carlos Enrique Taboada, sus aportaciones marcarían un parteaguas en la producción nacional, alejándoselo de los subgéneros ya mencionados, explorando temas de lo sobrenatural a lo psicológico. Hasta el viento tiene miedo (1968) y El libro de piedra (1969). Compeltaria su tetralogia con las cintas Mas negro que la noche (1975) y Veneno para las hadas (1984) Curiosidad, iban a ser 5 películas, pero le robaron la 5ta. Jirón de niebla_, la película maldita que Taboada filmó en los 80s y que, por razones misteriosas, nunca nadie vio._ Le hicieron un Remake. El escapulario (1968) Historia que se desarrolla durante la revolucion mexicana. Pelicula que narra 2 historias relacionadas con dicho escapulario. Expandir en quién fue Carlos Enrique Taboada Taboada pensaba ser médico, pero dejó inconclusa la carrera. Después se decidió por la antropología y finalmente, terminó en el cine, donde se desarrolló e innovó. El era ateo y un aficionado al hipnotismo. El desarrolló el cine de horror por pasión a éste, a diferencia de otros directores de la época que lo hacían por encargo (me recordó al director que quitan de Alien). Previo a ser director, ya había realizado guiones que habían sido utilizados en la industria. Orlak, Espejo de Bruja son algunos ejemplos. Un toque especial de Taboada era la inclusón de personajes femeninos, el romanticismo gótico en donde prevalece una exploración de la sexualidad y relaciones románticas en ambientes terroríficos donde se termina en tragedias y existen elementos sobrenaturales o paranormales. Además, un recurso literario recurrente son las profesías o maldiciones, la aparición de pesadillas y lo que se conoce como el anti-héroe. Es decir, el protagonista puede tener elementos que lo hacen imperfectos con características monstruosas. A través de sus obras, realizó críticas sociales por ejemplo a la iglesia católica, y la moralidad y ética humana. Elementos de sus películas también incluyen el terror psicológico. Las técnicas cinematográficas que utilizaba tenían la intención de no mostrar mucho al espectador, sin embargo, mostrar lo suficiente para que no perdiese la curiosidad y misterio, así como la percepción del horror. En qué áreas innovó? Bueno, pues el introdujo el gore al cine mexicano y se enfocó en lo visual cosa que para ese entonces fue demucha controversia y dio mucho de qué hablar. En un artículo de Vice - Doblégate ante el horror de Taboada mencionan: Además Taboada componía música, hipnotizaba animales y, en sus ratos libres, escribía relatos. Algunos de ellos están incluidos en la inédita Introducción a la herejía, especie de libro autobiográfico en el que narra cómo abandonó la religión y se convirtió al ateísmo 70s y 80s Como todo pais, el genero del horror sufre una decadencia, y mucho tiene que ver el sexenio de Lopez Portillo. Se trato de internacionalizar el cine mexicano trayendo a directores extranjeros a filmar en el pais, con esto se dejo de apoyar a los directores que habian producido filmes de exito en el sexenio anterior. Otro elemento que va de la mano con lo anterior, es la deuda externa, impacto a las producciones que tuvieron que realizarse peliculas de muy bajo costo, en poco tiempo y con nula calidad. Prospero y se enriquecio a lo largo de los ochentas, hablamos del cine de ficheras: ficheras, ese de tipo erotico, soft porn, con veddettes, pero pues era lo que vendia! jaja pero en ese mismo cine malo tuvimos cine de horror BARATO, y creo que es a partir de ahí donde nace esta creencia y decepción sobre el cine de terror en méxico Sin embargo se rescatan trabajos como Santa Sangre (1989) de Alejandro Jodorowsky. Alucarda (1977) de Juan Lopez Moctezuma Vacaciones de Terror (1989) El extraño hijo del Sheriff (1982) En la pantalla chica, aparecen programas como La Hora Marcada, en el cual directores reconocidos hoy en dia, iniciaban su carrera, como Alfonso Cuaron y Guillermo del Toro. Otro programa pero mas enfocado al suspenso era La Telaraña, creado por Carlos Enrique Taboada. Elementos: Jorodowski aporta a esta década la introspección al ser humano, cosa que no se había visto antes en el cine de horror. Aplicación de elementos surrealistas mezclados con el horror psicológico e incluso humor negro. Continúa la parición de fantasía, western, sobrenatural (demionios, entes malignos). 90s y nuevo cine mexicano Iniciando la decada de los 90s y hasta la decada del 2000 el genero de terror continuaba estancado. Destacan trabajos como Cronos (1992) de Guillermo del Toro, el espinazo del diablo (2001). Ésta fue su primer obra, donde debutó y fue lo que le abrió las puertas a Hollywood. Me gustaría también abrir un poco más de detalle sobre este director . Desde adolescente tuvo mucha inflencia del cine. Desde esa edad rodaba cortos de terror y además pasó 10 años en el diseño de maquillaje, incluso formó su propia empresa: Necropia. Tuvo una gran influencia de H.P. Lovecraft. También dirigió algunos episodios de la serie La Hora Marcada en Televisa y aquí conoció a amistades como Alfonso Cuarón y Emmanuel Lubezki. Cronos le tomó 8 años para poder producirla. En su película prima aborda el concepto de los vampiros, sin nunca explícitamente recurrir al folkor tal cuál lo conocemos. Incluso, hubo una ocasión en donde lo entrevistaron y le preguntaron si se sentía mal por ser catalogado como cineasta de horror a lo que respondió ¿por qué me voy a sentir mal? He pasado muchos años logrando ser un director de horror. Esto nos habla de que en México, se tenía ya una percepción bastante desvalorada del género y muchos no veían el mérito y el potencial. Es decir, había una visión muy limitada. Con Mexico Barbaro (2014) resurge el cine y nuevos directores aparecen creando contenido, y hasta remakes del trabajo de Taboada. Difusión del cine de horror en México Una de las grandes críticas al cine de horror mexicano hoy en día es que no se le da una gran difusión así como horarios preferenciales. Esto dificulta su reproducción y reconocmiento. Un ejemplo de esto es que se proyecta en una sala en dos horarios, uno extremadamente temprano y otro en la noche. Esto ha llevado a que los directores opten otras formas de difusión como lo son Festivales de Cine y convenciones. El problema es que la gente que termina yendo a estos espacios está muy restringida por la comodidad de los espacios comaprados a un cine tradicional. En México existen varios festivales de cine fantástico con talla internacional como El Festival Mórbido y el Festival Macabro . Aquí es donde muchos directores mexicanos de cine de horror prefieren mostrar sus creaciones y ganar audiencia y credibilidad.

Check the show notes for teases of next week's show. Ernesto Bazan is our Photographer of the Week.

We've finally seen the new Star Wars film, so we discuss (with minimal spoilers!) whether it lived up to the hype, and what its Oscar potential might be. From there we talk to Jennifer Jason Leigh, a Golden Globe nominee for her role in Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight and one of the three voice actors in Charlie Kaufman's Anomalisa. Finally we make our predictions for who will win best cinematography— and can Emmanuel Lubezki make history? 

Birdman writer/director Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu and cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki talk to Elvis in front of a live audience.
