Episode 12
Monday, 17 August, 2026

Legendary filmmaker Phedon Papamichael discusses the journey from the Roger Corman "farm" to creating some of the most iconic films ever including Cool Runnings, Walk the Line, Sideways, Ford vs Ferrari, A Complete Unknown, and many, many others. Phedon also brings the spotlight to european talent often when he travels across the pond. He has attended Camerimage year after year, answering questions from filmmakers who have studied and enjoyed his work. Please do yourself a favor and watch BRIGHTON 4TH. These are the types of compelling and thought provoking films that Phedon has championed. A new Papamichael is now on set. Phedon's son has the cinematography bug, which was discovered while watching Yojimbo together. Phedon has collaborated with incredible talent for decades including John Candy, Alexander Payne, Wim Wenders, Matt Damon, Christian Bale, James Mangold, and that barely scratches the surface. Deeply rooted in the classics, Phedon is a wealth of knowledge. It was a joy speaking with him about cinema and life.
