Tom McCarthy

Tom McCarthy approaches his films like a journalist, even when he’s creating a work of fiction. Just as a reporter discovers facts about their stories, Tom’s years of research help him unearth truths about the characters he’s creating. Tom and Marc talk about how this played out in the process of making movies like Stillwater, Spotlight and The Station Agent. They also talk about how Tom’s devout Catholic parents reacted to him making a movie about the deep rot within the church. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
