Why There Can Never Be A Third Season of Fleabag
Roles: Pitch, Writer, Editor, Animator
Usually, the main character of the show in ‘Fleabag’ is able to speak to or look directly at the camera without other characters noticing. However, as Fleabag (played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge) gets close to the Hot Priest (Andrew Scott), all the normal rules of the show fall apart in a 10-minute sequence, revealing that these devices are even more powerful when they’re taken away.

How Michel Gondry Turns His Characters Into Doomed Puppets
Roles: Pitch, Writer, Editor, Narrator
Kidding, the newly Golden Globe-nominated Showtime series starring Jim Carrey, has a jarring twist baked into the premise: A main character turns into a giant puppet. But to those familiar with filmmaker Michel Gondry, an executive producer on the show and director of six of its 10 episodes, the sudden appearance of a human marionette shouldn’t be such a surprise. The director’s past works, from Mood Indigo to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, feature characters whose physical movements and life decisions mimic puppets, with invisible forces controlling them from just outside the frame. Watch to see why Gondry, a storyteller who imbues his worlds with bright color and optimism, is so doubtful of his characters’ agency over their own lives.
