I love the TV series Deadwood. How much? Put it this way, it is still on the top of my list of recent favourite TV show even I was at a total lost 20% of the time of what the the characters were saying to each other. The acting and script were that good.
So it is my pleasure for me to share a “lucky” find from MIT World with you. Here is a link to a MIT Lecture (1 hr 23 min long) with David Milch, Creator, Executive Producer and Writer, DEADWOOD, HBO. Hope you will enjoy David’s insight.
Note 1: I think this is the New Yorker Mark Singer Profile piece that was mentionied, “The Misfit:How David Milch got from “NYPD Blue” to “Deadwood” by way of an Epistle of St. Paul.“
Note 2: By the way, watching this deep and personal chat with David Milch, it reminds me very much of the heart-felt master class with filmmaker Anthony Thomas at Banff 2007 (see also here).
