We get into the realities of a real mountain set, risk vs reward when it comes to production scale, and how authenticity can come at the cost of control.

This is Part 2 of our conversation with Jen Peedom. Part 1 was released last week.

Today we are delighted to be speaking with Tenzing Director Jennifer Peedom. We get into the balancing act between truth and drama, what filmmaking in extreme cold is like (and why we chose not to use a green screen), why it's an “anti-conquering” film, and Tenzing’s life as an outsider in his own community.

This is Part 1 of our conversation with Jen, Part 2 will be out next week.

We do a deep dive case study into producing Tenzing with Liz Watts, one of Australia's most successful producers — we get into working with a cross-cultural cast and crew, the detail required to stay on top of budgets, and the creative philosophy that held the whole production together.
