Today, Giles Alderson & Dom Lenoir welcome director/producer/actor Baltasar Kormákur to the show. He has made films such as Contraband (2012), 2 Guns (2013), Everest (2015) and Beast (2022) and has worked with star-actors such as Mark Wahlberg, Denzel Washington, Jason Clarke and Idris Elba to name a few.

He sits down with our hosts to chat about:

the difficulties of shooting on location

making and starring in his debut feature film

how he put his own money into making his debut

navigating between Hollywood and indie films

directing tips

his learnings over the years

Baltasar was very honest about his journey. We know you’ll love this. So sit back, relax and listen to this week’s episode with the rather fantastic Baltasar Kormákur.
