Talkies

Reverse Shot Talkies is a series of unconventional, site-specific video interviews with filmmakers, programmers, critics and more. Informal, playful, and always revealing, Talkies are not just antidotes to the traditional Q&A format but also unique short films in their own right.

Direct Address

Reverse Shot Direct Address videos feature in-depth Q&As in which interview subjects directly address the camera in close-up, simple and unadorned.

The Team

Reverse Shot Video is a collaboration between Jeff Reichert (Reverse Shot co-founder and director of GERRYMANDERING), and film journalists Eric Hynes (The Village Voice, Time Out New York) and Damon Smith (Filmmaker Magazine and editor of MICHAEL WINTERBOTTOM: INTERVIEWS).
