Lucy Boynton & Kelvin Harrison Jr. and Director Stephen Williams talk making a period studio 'indie' film 'Chevalier'

On this week episode we chat with the director and stars of 'Chevalier'. Actors Kelvin Harrison Jr and Lucy Boynton and Director Stephen Williams join Giles Alderson and Dom Lenoir.

They talk making a studio indie film

• Why you should tailor the text as a director when you are not the screenwriter.
• Why you are only as good as your collaborators.
• Why Stephen used screen-grabs to inspire the crew.
• Why he directed TV and met JJ Abrams.
• On set 'moments' and advice.
• What works for actors on set.
• And why you should (possibly) hold out to make the film you want to make.

Chevalier is out NOW in cinemas
