Index of interviews
Here is an index of all interviews Seventh Row has conducted. Many of these interviews are available for free on the website. Some interviews are exclusive to our ebooks.
Outstanding filmmakers and actors — some emerging, others established — reflect on their creative processes, aesthetic philosophies, and career trajectories.
Seventh Row interviews dive deep into the fine-grained technical decisions that go into telling a story on screen, demystifying everything from sound and costume design to cinematography. Filmmaking is a collaborative enterprise, so we love to learn about how creative teams work together to create some of our favourite films.
