Fury Road Minute Bonus Episode - George Miller

,
FuryRoad-BannerBonus_full.jpg

Three years, four movies, and several months of emails all come down to this: Rick sits down for a video call with academy award-winning director, writer, and producer, George Miller. We talk about applying music theory to film making, treating lore like an iceberg, and how a pig and penguin helped shape the world of Mad Max: Fury Road. This episode would not have been possible without the help of George’s executive assistant, Rachael who generously gave us a window of time in George’s busy schedule.
