How I Calmed a Petrified Miriam Margolyes | Lee Knight on Oscar-Nominated 'A Friend of Dorothy'

Описание: Lee Knight sits down with Directors Notes to discuss his Oscar-nominated short film debut, 'A Friend of Dorothy'. In this exclusive, in-depth interview, the actor turned writer/director reveals the incredible journey of getting the film made—from writing the role specifically for Miriam Margolyes to getting a "yes" from Stephen Fry within nine hours.

Lee opens up about the vulnerable side of directing legends, sharing the intimate story of how he calmed a petrified Miriam on set to capture her most powerful performance. He also pulls back the curtain on the cut scene "no one knows about," the intense reality of the Oscar campaign trail, and why his experience as an actor made him a better director.
