Realscreen on location: Louie Psihoyos discusses ‘The Cove’ and what’s next

March 8, 2010 by Lindsay Gibb

Last night, director Louie Psihoyos and producer Fisher Stevens won the Best Documentary Oscar for their acclaimed film The Cove at the 82nd Annual Academy Awards. Though Psihoyos didn’t get a chance to say anything from the stage at the ceremony, he did speak with realscreen during the Realscreen Summit about the effect The Cove has had in Taiji, Japan and the reasons he went into documentary filmmaking.

Appearing at this past February’s Realscreen Summit in a special one-on-one conversation with filmmaker and director of the Center for Environmental Filmmaking Chris Palmer, Psihoyos also discusses in this clip his upcoming projects, which may include a television series based on his Oscar-winning debut.
