HLYNUR PÁLMASON - Writer / Director
In this episode of the Team Deacons Podcast, writer‑director Hlynur Pálmason discusses his unconventional path from childhood fascination with images and sound to studying photography, working odd jobs, and ultimately graduating from the Danish film school. He explains how collaborative environments shaped his voice, the importance of early location scouting in script development, and his meticulous yet adaptable approach to directing, casting, and revising scripts on set. Pálmason reflects on his debut feature Winter Brothers, the physical demands of low‑budget shooting, and his signature use of static character portraits to conclude films.
