Brilliant filmmaker. Whiplash is a high work of art that rose to the top 3 of my favorite music movies ever made. This guy will have a great career I believe.

Cool interview. If I may point out, too often the focus of these is on carrer and hollywood business side (agent/producers/prizes etc) I feel, here especially, we're missing out on the craft. I would have love to know how and if his learning of rythm as a drummer influenced his filmmaking, his editing, how did he shoot the scenes, how many camera, did he cut a lot or let it roll ...and many other questions. Did he have some other films in mind while making this one ? How did he chose the music pieces ? I ll stop here you probably get the gist of it. But still thanks for your continuous work and uploading mr DP30.

Can't wait to see what Chazelle does next -- Whiplash was so alive with energy, I got completely swept up by it

He even looks a bit like Miles Teller xD

this movie was amazing. It really really hit home with me, even though I've never really been in that kind of big boy league music world. I don't care what you think. a million times better than half of that shit at the golden globes. this guy is just fucking brilliant.

He looks like a young Kubrick.

Very talented dude.

too many jokes imo lol. I'm glad you guys had fun and enjoyed yourselves, I do, but towards the end I really wanted to dive deep but it was hard to take the conversation seriously with the interviewer making so many jokes

it's scary how he referred to selling his soul twice

Great interview, really relaxed and natural

That interview has the DP touch all over it: camaradery, humour, a sense of truth.

Damn dude, always such great stuff. Every time I've seen an American movie, I know with almost 100% certainty that there's a great DP interview that goes along with it.

smart guy

Hey David,

Hi David,

I think damien and saima bought mark bussiness

Blood on the drums and cymbals? Nah wouldn't ever happen with a great drummer other than him hitting a cymbal with his hand by mistake. The opposite is true. Great drummers play relaxed with very loose grips.
