On Film…With Kevin McCarthy

Longer-form cinema interviews diving into filmmaking craft including acting, directing, editing, composing and so much more. I grew up watching DVD features and I always wanted to create a show that can be similar to that idea of giving audiences an understanding of the hard work and dedication that goes into filmmaking.

Show notes

NOTE: For audiences watching and/or listening to this episode: I wanted to preserve Director Park Chan-wook's own voice as he answered the questions in Korean. Therefore, you will first hear my question in English. Then, you will hear Director Park's answer in Korean. Then, you will hear the English translation of Director Park's answer. I did this because I wanted people to hear Director Park's answer, as it was given, before the English translation.
