Kelly Reichardt and Michelle Williams on the Art of Showing Up and Collaborating.
Kelly Reichardt's newest film, Showing Up, starring Michelle Williams, explores the importance of artistic communities and supportive networks. The film was shot at a real art school in Oregon, which has since closed down. André 3000, who plays the guy who runs the kiln in the film, provided the soundtrack with his flute playing. Reichardt discusses her love for the beginning process of making films, the pressure cooker of shooting, and the joy of editing. She also talks about her reputation as a tough teacher and the challenges young artists face in finding their voice.
