When she first rolled up her sleeves to tell the story of Lee Miller , star and first-time producer Kate Winslet was surprised that a major movie about the pioneering American war correspondent and photographer who covered World War II for British Vogue hadn⁘t been made before.
So it became a nearly decade-long mission for Winslet to introduce Miller to a whole new audience who might not have heard of her, to make sure that they meet Miller for the first time in this way.
Astutely directed by Oscar-nominated cinematographer Ellen Kuras ⁘ a former Winslet collaborator as a DP for ⁘Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind⁘ (2004) and ⁘A Little Chaos⁘ (2014) ⁘ and also starring Andrea Riseborough as Vogue editor Audrey Withers, ⁘Lee⁘ is a powerful reminder of women⁘s vital contributions to society during wartime, and the importance of the commitment to truth-telling, a message that resonates today.
IndieWire: While you⁘ve done executive producing work before, this is actually the first project that you fully produced. It sounds like it was a very personal endeavor to you. What was that experience like?
Kate Winslet : When I've executive produced on television pieces in the past, what that really means is you have meaningful creative considerations when it comes to making some of the important decisions. But the role of a producer is the person who starts the project. They often get it going. They're the ones who put a bit of financing sometimes behind it to keep it afloat. You find the writers, you find the director, you find the cast, the crew, the locations, all of it. I've seen more cashflow documents and casting memos than I could ever shake a stick at. So really from the beginning to the end, including right now, that job is all-consuming.
