Holly Hunter: Protecting the Sanctity of a Movie Set 

Holly Hunter's voice and eyes are simply mesmerising. i could listen to her talk about her craft all day.

I'll probably never get the opportunity to work with her, but sure wish I could. I love actors who are passionate about their craft, the way she is. It makes the day go by, so much faster.

She seems like a very down to earth person. Lovely too!

1:36 - She took something she felt some kind of way about and said “I’m using that”…….channeling her emotion into her craft. We often call an actor underrated, but Holly truly is. I would love to see her in more films but if a project doesn’t resonate with her she may decide to pass on it.

An awesome peak into a mind of an actor...that was good.

I have had a crush on her from the first time I saw her x

Directors need to watch this. Film sets are such hostile environments for actors. They'll spend three hours lighting a tiny area and then expect an actor to magically pop into the moment of a high emotional scene with 5 pages of dialogue to be memorized and performed flawlessly. And then civilians wonder why Christian Bale blows up on a set.

This is just *SO* precious. I've never had the opportunity of having my feelings crushed by the offering of stuffed crab.

Sam is a great interviewer! Very enjoyable and entertaining video!

I agree with her about craft guy. Very disrespectful. My first thought is would he have done that to Jack Nicholson or Tom Cruise?

I think there has and always be a disparity between artists and technicians almost like left and right in politics, you need both for it to work. The artists (actors, directors) will see the technician types as not being as caring as many crew members will see it as 'just a job' where they are paid and they leave to go do the next one, whereas the technicians will see artists as being pretentious or overly sensitive about things that they deem unimportant. I think what Holly is saying is correct though a film set needs to be treated with respect, it's not a playground and it needs to be treated with the seriousness it deserves, the crew members that get a good reputation already know this... the best DP's, Gaffers, Sound Crews, Set Designers, Costume Designers get hired not just for their talent but more importantly because they are professional and have respect for their craft.

pretty

But aside from that, how did you enjoy the hors d'oeuvres? ;-)
