The Rich Tale of a Director Who Decided to Give His Film a Long Title
The 2024 Tribeca Film Festival kicked off this week and in this episode you can hear Áron talking with director Tolga Karacelik and cinematographer Natalie Kingston to discuss their much-anticipated film, "The Shallow Tale of a Writer Who Decided to Write About a Serial Killer". The story follows a struggling writer in the midst of a divorce who befriends a retired serial killer. The killer unexpectedly becomes both his marriage counselor by day and his advisor on killing for his next book by night.
Tolga shares insights on why this project became his first English language feature film, how he very specifically decides on the names of his characters, and the crucial role of collaboration in filmmaking. Natalie discusses the inspirations and challenges presented by New York as a filming location, and she elaborates on the specific shooting, lighting, and blocking techniques she employed to complement a dialogue-heavy script.
Join us for a spoiler-free conversation where we dive deep into the creative process and technical expertise behind “The Shallow Tale”, right before its world premiere in New York.
