Ep 303: “Rushmore”

December 24, 2024

We put Wes Anderson’s “Rushmore” front and center to discuss:



  • Cinematography, center framing;
  • Story & Writing, dry humor, heart;
  • Todd recounts his experience of working as a background extra in Rushmore;
  • and other such stuff and things and stuff.

The more relaxed you are, the better you are at everything – Bill Murray


Notes & References:

Rushmore was shot in 50 days, Royal Tenenbaums was shot in 60 days, Moonrise Kingdom in 40 days, Grand Budapest Hotel in 50 days, French Dispatch in 50 days; my assumption was way off! – Wes
