Benjamin Millepied is a world-renowned choreographer, dancer, and rising director. In 2010, Millepied choreographed and starred in the Oscar-winning feature Black Swan (2010). Since then, he has directed a number of short films, commercials, and music videos before making his feature film directorial debut with Carmen (2023) starring Paul Mescal, Melissa Barrera, and Elsa Pataky. In our conversation, Millepied discusses his relationship to the opera source material and how he envisioned reimagining elements of the story for the film. We also talk about his natural ability to visualize camera movement within a scene and what he is working on next.
