This is probably the most honest and transparent interview by a film maker I’m so glad I watched this episode. Gareth is massively talented and as a cinefile I remember going to see Monsters in the cinema off the back of his story making it for a mere £500k. Subsequently I’ve seen his other movies including The Creator and have loved them all
Monsters remains a favourite of mine, and I return to it often. Not for some, of course, as people think it's a "monster" movie.... they do play a part, but they drive the story. There's just a simple honesty about it and I love it's mostly ad-libbed - also Whitney and Scoot work well. The sense of scale uses too.... you can see a lot of this in Rogue One (another of my faves to a degree). In a "making of" there's a 4 hour cut, I'd love to see that.

Big love to Gareth, he's been such a massive inspiration to me and a lot of others
This is the interview of Gareth Edwards I really wanted to see. Thank you both for sharing. It's excellent! Love "Monsters"!
Too late to bring him back now at this point, but I still wish we could get the full Garath Edwards Godzilla trilogy!
he should have gotten a full godzilla AND star wars trilogy with no executive interference, imo.
honestly, I'd love to see a remaster/re-edit/vfx re-do of the film
