This week, on a new episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we’re joined by producer Mark Johnson (THE HOLDOVERS, BETTER CALL SAUL, GALAXY QUEST) to discuss the ins and outs of producing. Mark reveals how he leveraged his mother’s friendship with legendary film critic Pauline Kael to secure a theatrical release for his breakout film DINER, and we learn how Mark finds projects to produce and what he looks for in projects brought to him. Mark also reflects on the varying styles of directors and how he personally defines the responsibilities of a producer. We also learn how Mark shepherded GALAXY QUEST (a favourite of ours) into existence, and he shares a number of insights into the journey of the film.⁠ ⁠ Hear more on Wednesday!⁠ -⁠ This episode is sponsored by Aputure⁠ Instagram: aputure.lighting⁠ -⁠ #teamdeakins #rogerdeakins #rogeradeakins #sirRoger #bywaysBook #jamesellisdeakins #teamdeakinspodcast #markJohnson #producer #producing #stillPhotography #visualarts
