“Sound design, man, that’s, to me, one of the more exciting things about making a movie or telling a story. It’s how sound can play such a pivotal role in creating a tone or helping further the story.”
Acclaimed director Brad Anderson (Session 9, The Machinist, TransSiberian) joins us for an in-depth conversation about Worldbreaker, a striking blend of myth, retro-futurism, and character-driven storytelling. Moving beyond traditional monster movie expectations, Anderson discusses world-building, restraint in horror, and why stories themselves become a form of survival in fractured worlds. The conversation also reflects on his wider body of work, revealing a filmmaker deeply invested in mood, pacing, and character over spectacle.
Worldbreaker is in U.S. cinemas January 30th.
