‘Society of the Snow,’ ‘Rings of Power’ Director J.A. Bayona Doesn’t ‘Separate’ Movies and TV: ‘There Is Only One Way of Telling a Story Right’
J.A. Bayona broke down the differences, or lackthereof, in shooting film and TV projects during a Mipcom masterclass.
Bayona later said that the beginning of a shoot is always one of his favorite parts of the filmmaking process, as it’s “the first time I’ am with the actors in front of a camera, and that’s one of the most creative moments to me.” Bayona has helmed projects from the billion-dollar-generating “Jurassic World” and “Lord of the Rings” franchises but said that he still gets nervous with any shoot he’s leading, arguing that a bit of anxiety is actually a boon while filming. Asked about his films’ wide reach and if he thinks about appeasing as large an audience as possible with his work, Bayona said his goal is never to create a hit for everyone, everywhere.
