DP, 30: SPECTRE, Sam Mendes

Already an awardwinning stage director, Sam Mendes burst onto the movie scene with American Beauty, winning the Directing Oscar for his first film. Other films followed, but didn t have quite the same impact. And then James Bond came into his life. After his second outing with 007, Mendes chatted with David Poland about the film, the journey, and about what might be next. Shot in Los Angeles, October 2015 Subscribe to DP, 30 for more interviews:
