'Easy': How Director Joe Swanberg Improvised A TV Show
The creator of the Netflix anthology show, who is known for a naturalistic style of filmmaking often called mumblecore, says he envisions characters who are kind and generous — and beset by troubles.
The Netflix anthology show Easy deals with topics that are anything but: searching for love, navigating relationships, seeking knowledge of ourselves — and sometimes looking for it in other people. The show's third and final season is out now on Netflix.
Its creator, writer and director, Joe Swanberg, has a naturalistic filmmaking style with a lot of improvisation — it's often categorized as part of a movement called "mumblecore." In an interview, he says he had to translate that style into something authentic for TV.
