Today, in the latest episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with cinematographer John Schwartzman (THE HOUSEMAID, THE HIGHWAYMEN, THE ROCK). John’s father, an entertainment lawyer for the likes of Stanley Kubrick and Elton John, married into the Coppola filmmaking family while John was just a teenager, and we learn how he leveraged this connection and his skills at board games to win letters of recommendation from his uncle Francis Ford Coppola and friend-of-the-family George Lucas. We also discuss how John draws on his upbringing to help actors feel comfortable during a shoot, and he reflects on how he satisfies his creative needs in modern Hollywood. ⁠ ⁠ Check out the link in our bio to listen to the full episode!⁠ -⁠ #teamdeakins #rogerdeakins #rogeradeakins #sirRoger #bywaysBook #reflectionsBook #reflectionsoncinematography #jamesellisdeakins #teamdeakinspodcast #johnSchwartzman #cinematographer #cinematography #stillPhotography #visualarts
