John talks with writer-director Lorene Scafaria and costume designer Mitchell Travers about their collaboration on Hustlers, and how to think visually about story.
We discuss locations, production design, cinematography, and choreography with a major focus on pre-production.
And in our bonus topic for premium members, John catches up with Mitchell seven months after our initial conversation.
