- Career Q&A with Greta Gerwig, Writer/Director of LADY BIRD. Moderated by Sara Vilkomerson, Entertainment Weekly.
GRETA GERWIG has rapidly emerged as one of Hollywood’s most engaging actresses, screenwriters, and directors, most recently writing and directing LADY BIRD. The film has appeared on over 200 “Top Ten” lists for 2017, and has won Best Picture from the New York Film Critics Circle and Gerwig has won Best Director from the National Board of Review. The film is nominated for three Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Gerwig was last seen in 20th CENTURY WOMEN alongside Annette Bening and Elle Fanning from director Mike Mills. Gerwig received a Critics’ Choice Award nomination in the category of “Best Supporting Actress” for her portrayal of “Abbie,” a photographer who is being treated for cervical cancer. Last year, Gerwig also starred in Pablo Larrain’s JACKIE alongside Natalie Portman and Peter Sarsgaard; Todd Solondz’s WIENER-DOG opposite Danny DeVito, Ellen Burstyn, and Kieran Culkan; and Rebecca Miller’s romantic dramedy MAGGIE’S PLAN opposite Ethan Hawke and Julianne Moore.
In 2015, Gerwig starred in MISTRESS AMERICA, a comedy that she co-wrote with director Noah Baumbach, which premiered to rave reviews at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival. Gerwig’s previous collaboration with Baumbach, FRANCES HA, earned her Golden Globe and Broadcast Film Critics Association Award nominations in the category of “Outstanding Lead Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy.” The film, which also earned an Independent Spirit Award nomination for “Best Feature,” premiered at the 2012 Telluride Film Festival, Toronto Film Festival, and New York Film Festival.
Gerwig first received critical acclaim for her breakout role as “Florence” in GREENBERG, which marked her first collaboration with writer/director Noah Baumbach. In the film, she starred opposite Ben Stiller and her performance earned her several nominations including a Gotham Award nomination for “Breakthrough Performance” and an Independent Spirit Award nomination for “Best Female Lead.”
Other film credits include Barry Levinson’s THE HUMBLING opposite Al Pacino and Dianne Wiest, Woody Allen’s TO ROME WITH LOVE opposite Alec Baldwin, Jesse Eisenberg and Ellen Page; ARTHUR opposite Russell Brand and Helen Mirren; the romantic comedy NO STRINGS ATTACHED with Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher; Whit Stillman’s comedy DAMSELS IN DISTRESS; and Fox Searchlight’s LOLA VERSUS. A darling of the independent film scene, Gerwig’s prior credits include Ti West’s “art-house horror film” HOUSE OF THE DEVIL; the Duplass brothers’ genre-bender BAGHEAD; Joe Swanberg’s HANNAH TAKES THE STAIRS as a writer and actress, and NIGHTS AND WEEKENDS which she co-wrote and co-directed.
Gerwig graduated Magna Cum Laude from Barnard College and currently resides in New York City.
I have watched a *lot* of Greta Gerwig interviews, so many I have lost count. She is so friendly, kind, and nice, and I enjoy her "company" so much it is hard to say goodbye.
RogerC me too!
What is your favorite?
I am literally binge watching greta's interviews
same!!
Greta Gerwig inspires me, and I'm not ashamed to say it!
im gonna rewatch this and take notes.. TRUST THE PROCESS
she got rejected by julliard and nyu? guess i chose the right woman to look up to 🥺 she makes me feel like I can achieve everything I want to
A lovely actress, her attitude is so refreshing.
A modern day LEGEND
That thumbnail of her is freaking beautiful
Sacramento proud!
Thanks for uploading
Naked Vulnerability...this is it...the new Woody Allen...I dont know but her honesty and enthusiasm etc. very unique.
In love. In love. In love. In love.
Can anyone explain me why the interviewer told her not to used the word "mumblecore"!? Is there a negative connotation or something?
Thought this too. I think it does have a bit of a negative connotation. Kinda makes it sound like some back-alley street drug of movies which makes it sound like they’re all inevitably bad, which isn’t necessarily the case with mumblecore. I guess saying “heavily improvised” or something like that sounds more complementary
I'm a fan!
She is so amazing!!!
Greta is very very captivating so so so beautiful xx
I didn't understand very well what she said about filming with two cameras, someone could explain?
usually in film people use only one camera, and they repeat the scene over and over again in different angles. for every different angle, there's a different lighting, specific for that point of view. in sitcoms people usually use multiple cameras to film because the lighting is pretty standard and since it's comedy, sometimes it's nice to capture one specific moment from different points of view (you can see the good place's bloopers on youtube, they sometimes show people setting up the cameras). people would assume that it's easier and faster to shoot with multiple cameras but it isn't, in fact.
I guess there is even a UA-cam video, where Greta is directing and you can notice two cameras set at different positions
