This Wednesday, author Matthew Specktor joins us in a new episode of the Team Deakins Podcast to discuss the film industry and his recently released memoir, THE GOLDEN HOUR. In addition to being an author, Matthew was also a screenwriter and film executive, and he reflects on how his relative fearlessness as an executive is atypical for someone in the position. We also discuss the changing economics of funding films, the shifts in who wields power in Hollywood, and Matthew details the brief window in the 1960s and 1970s in which filmmakers were afforded a relative freedom not seen since. Plus, Matthew shares what it was like learning how to write from a uniquely qualified professor: James Baldwin.⁠
