The Director Series: The Coen Brothers

Excellent video series on iconic filmmaking duo.

Cameron Beyl is a writer, director, and producer. One of his projects I’ve been tracking is his excellent “The Director Series: The Coen Brothers” and he just wrapped up the 7 part Vimeo series. Here are all of the videos:

Part 1: Murder & Mania

Part 2: The Postmodern Pictures

Part 3: The Break Out Classics

Part 4: An Odyssey Into Style

Part 5: The Screwball Scoundrels

Part 6: A Prestigious Pinnacle

Part 7: The Art of Commerce

Beyl goes through the Coen brothers’ entire opus of movies they have written and directed, so it’s comprehensive. It’s also quite insightful and comes from a storyteller’s perspective.

The Holy Quartet of my favorite filmmakers is Billy Wilder, Stanley Kubrick, Pixar, and the Coen brothers. In fact, I created one-week online classes for the latter two: Pixar and the Craft of Storytelling, The Coen Brothers and the Craft of Storytelling.
