Peter Phok (Pearl and X)
Manage episode 343149381 series 2854726
Peter Phok is having an amazing year — he executive produced both X, released in March, and its prequel Pearl, released in September. And he's planning ahead to MaXXXine, the third film in the horror trilogy directed by Ti West and starring Mia Goth, who co-wrote Pearl with West.
Phok goes way back with West — they attended NYC's School of Visual Arts together —but he's also produced horror hits separately from the director, including the Netflix hit 1BR, which we covered in a previous episode of this podcast. Phok is an extremely hands-on producer, even when working remotely, as he did for Pearl and X. He talks with us about achieving the 1970s grit of X and the early cinematic Technicolor majesty of Pearl with the same camera, the Sony VENICE. And he tells us about his cinematic white whale... a Ti West film set in space.
We conclude by asking for some details on MaXXXine, and discuss what it will take to get Mia Goth an Oscar nomination.
