Interview. Mark Duffield.

Ghost of Mae Nak More of a "haunting love story" than a bone-rattling "scary movie" (Michael Guillén at Twitch), Mark Duffield's Ghost of Mae Nak is remarkable for at least two reasons. First, because this is the second instance of a British cinematographer turning writer and director and filming a ghost story in Thailand with Thai actors aimed at a Thai audience (the first was P), and second because this continuation of a legend brought to the screen nearly two dozen times has been so well-received. See, for example, reviews in Variety and Firecracker.

Jonathan Marlow talks with Duffield about how he's pulled it off.

Jonathan: I've been out of town and am catching up to Greencine. Thanks for the tip of the hat and for this conversational "moment" with Duffield. Your interviews were the first to inspire me to interview others myself and so it means that much more to me to be folded into one of your write-ups.
