GrahamHOST
And again, to come back to the fact that this guy's a good director.
PhilGUEST
Yeah, it's a shame, actually, because he did Short Term 12 as well, didn't he? And it makes me wonder why he's not been given a Captain Marvel movie, because he's directed Brie Larson in two films.
PhilGUEST
Did you ever watch
GeoffHOST
the Marvels, Phil? That's why there's never been another Captain Marvel movie.
Ryan KingHOST
He
Michael DixonHOST
did Short Term 12, which is a very good indie film with Brie Larson from like early 2010s.
Michael DixonHOST
Thanks.
Ryan KingHOST
I worry that he's in that pocket where he's just making these big things right now for Disney and he's not going back and doing his little stuff.
DesHOST
Caitlin Dever as Amy.
DesHOST
She was in Short Term 12 and The Last of Us.
DesHOST
Jessica Williams as Miss Fine, and fine she is.
DesHOST
The Daily Show, Shrinking, and the movie Entercoactic.
Jacqueline ColeyGUEST
Amazing character.
Jacqueline ColeyGUEST
director of Shaun Chi, as well as one of my favorite movies, Short Term 12, which is like launching pad for every modern actor we love.
Jacqueline ColeyGUEST
Yeah, like give these filmmakers the time to be successful, give them the resources to be successful and let them go make interesting stories.
Sam SandersHOST
that.
Bobby MillerGUEST
Yeah, I, that's, I, I think it's one of her ...
Bobby MillerGUEST
It's probably, if not one of, like, top two of her, like, her best performances, I would probably put it up there with Short Term 12.
Bobby MillerGUEST
It's one of my favorite movies-
Danny JarabekGUEST
Short Term 12
Bobby MillerGUEST
... especially with her in it.
Danny JarabekGUEST
Yeah.
AdrianHOST
Exactly.
AdrianHOST
Before Marvel, Destin Daniel Cretton directed brilliant, emotionally heavy indie films like Short Term 12 and I Am Not a Hipster.
ClaraHOST
Great films.
AdrianHOST
He brought that grounded, melancholic, fiercely intimate atmosphere to a massive blockbuster here.
Al BakerPANELIST
Yeah.
Lawrence WarePANELIST
I'm gonna lay that at the feet of the director because Destin Daniel Cretton, yeah, he did Shang-Chi, but like he got started with like small emotional films, like Short Term 12 and Just Mercy.
Lawrence WarePANELIST
Like, he made really deeply emotional films before he got pulled into the Marvel kind of universe.
Lawrence WarePANELIST
And so those emotional beats very much resonate with the kinda stuff that he's been doing for many, many years: telling small stories, making sure that the characters have a great deal of emotional depth.
Ilya FriedmanHOST
I'm your host Ilya Friedman, and today on our show Ben and I interview Brett Pollak, the cinematographer behind Spider-Man: Brand New Day directed by Destin Daniel Cretton.
Ilya FriedmanHOST
Brett and Destin's collaboration goes back nearly 17 years starting with a short movie that became the feature film Short Term 12.
Ilya FriedmanHOST
Today we dive into how Pollock and Cretton's input about the suit design kept Peter Parker feeling human.
Ilya FriedmanHOST
The mask allowed Tom Holland's jaw to move, and his real eyes were visible through the mesh so audiences never forget there's a human under that mask.

Ben RockHOST
When, when the director first approached you about, about shooting this, you know, what was kind of the pitch? What was his take on, on how were you, how you were gonna differentiate this? Or how you w-, where the direction you were gonna take it would be?
Brett PawlakGUEST
Destin and I have had a long-standing relationship of almost 17 years now.
Brett PawlakGUEST
We did a, we did a short film a long time ago, uh, called Short Term 12, which was his, the first thing we did together, which then became a feature that won South By.
Brett PawlakGUEST
And since then, we've done, uh, a handful of other movies and documentaries and things.
Al BakerPANELIST
It was great.
Lawrence WarePANELIST

Lawrence WarePANELIST

He made really deeply emotional films before he got pulled into the Marvel kind of universe.
Lawrence WareHOST
And so those emotional beats, those... very much resonate with the kind of stuff that he's been doing for many many years telling small stories making sure that the characters have a great deal of emotional depth like he did a wonderful job now yeah he did the action parts well but it's clear that what he's really interested in are the emotional beats of the characters and so i think that's the part of the reason why those kind of moment shined so much because he is a director who knows how to bring that kind of emotion to the screen.
