On the Circuit: James Marsh/Julian Jarrold (Red Riding Trilogy)
When Britain’s Channel Four Film set about adapting Davind Peace’s “Red Riding” books, they could’ve brought in one high profile director to guide the project from beginning to end. With quite a significant chunk of their production budget sunk into the films, it probably would’ve been a safe bet to have only one director to hold accountable for the massive creative undertaking.
Instead, Channel Four Film hired three separate yet prestigious directors to helm a different, chaotic year of the neo-noir “Red Riding” saga: Julian Jarrold (Brideshead Revisited), Academy Award winner James Marsh (Man On Wire) and Anand Tucker (And When Did You Last See Your Father?).
Marsh and Jarrold were in town during this year’s New York Film Festival where they took the time to talk about the experience of shooting a simultaneous production, the social significance of both the films’ time periods and contemporary time, as well as the predicted future of television as a storytelling medium and more.
