Part 5/7:
Meyer’s experiences exemplify the importance of collaboration in filmmaking. He shared that when facing uncertainties, asking for input from his actors and crew is fundamental: “I know nothing… you have to pick the best people.” This humility fosters a working environment where expertise from others is encouraged and valued, ultimately leading to a richer storytelling experience.
The Essence of Science Fiction
Another intriguing aspect of Meyer’s work involves the thematic depth he weaves into his narratives. While often placed within the realm of science fiction, Meyer firmly believes that the heart of any story rests on its human component. “No matter what they were wearing,” he quipped, “every science fiction movie I always made was always set on planet earth, right here, right now.”
