In a career that's spanned almost three decades and several
Academy Award nominations, John Seale is proud to count Peter
Weir, John Badham, Michael Apted, Barry Levinson, George Miller,
Sydney Pollack, Ron Howard, John Boorman, Rob Reiner, Lawrence
Kasdan and Anthony Minghella among his list of collaborators.
While awaiting the release of Cold Mountain, his third
film with Minghella, and settling into James L. Brooks' new
project, Spanglish, Seale took a few minutes to discuss
the ways he keeps his work fresh and why his best film will
always be his next one.
