  • Gillian Robespierre on Getting a Movie Made
    February 2, 2017 - Writer/Director Gillian Robespierre is a Brooklyn-based filmmaker, born and raised in New York City. She graduated from the School of Visual Arts, Film & Video Program. Her first feature, Obvious Child premiered at Sundance in 2014. The film got a nod for the year's "Best Discovery" on iTunes and she won Best Directorial Debut from the National Board of Review. Her second feature Landline premiered at Sundance in 2017 and was sold to Amazon. She did not vote for Trump. As told to Brandon Stosuy, 2484 words. Tags: Film, Collaboration, Anxiety, Beginnings. Gillian Robespierre on getting a movie made The writer and director of Obvious Child and Landline talks about crisis and sadness in comedy, the importance of collaboration, and why finishing a second movie isn’t any easier than finishing the first. When I reached out to you, I said I wanted to talk about crisis and sadness in your comedy. At first you wanted to go in a different direction, but you changed your mind. At first I was afraid of your question, because I thought it was too early to analyze the new movie, Landline, and compare it to Obvious Child. I’m also so early in my career. I was nervous to explore it, but then sitting with my writing partner, Elizabeth Holm, and my editor, Casey Brooks, talking about comedy, talking about digging out what really matters in this scene, it dawned on me how important crisis and sadness is in my type of comedy, and how it’s important in storytelling.

    00:00:00 Music Transition “Switchblade Comb” by Mobius VanChocStraw. A jaunty, jazzy tune reminiscent of the opening theme of a movie. Music continues at a lower volume as April introduces herself and her guest, and then it fades out. 00:00:08 April Wolfe Host Welcome to Switchblade Sisters, where women get together to slice and dice our favorite action and genre films. I’m April Wolfe. Every week, I invite a new female filmmaker on. A writer, director, actor, or producer, and we talk—in depth—about one of their fave genre films. Perhaps one that’s influenced their own work in some small way. Today, you know, you may know that we are social distancing, so remote recording of course. Um, Chicken’s in the other room, so you might not hear her screaming. Um, the wild parrots are out, though. You may hear that flock passing by. Um, so sound is a little bit different in the studio than uh, it usually is. Everything else is pretty much the same, except for today, our guest is different. Our guest is writer-director Karen Maine. Hi, Karen! 00:00:49 Karen Guest Hi! Thanks for having me. Maine 00:00:51 April Host Um, Karen, are you in Los Angeles right now, or are you elsewhere? 00:00:54 Karen Guest I am in Green Point, Brooklyn. 00:00:56 April Host You’re in Brooklyn.

This group, currently around 6-21 years old, is claiming their influence on the world sooner than any generation before, wielding their power to effect change, drive new trends, and hand up their ideas to the rest of us. For crying out loud, they can barely drive and are already a force to be reckoned with! Parented by Gen X and Gen Y—two generations who couldn’t be more different—Gen Z is a distinct group with a personality all their own.
