Matt Ball on shooting in remote regions for Tucci in Italy

DP Matt Ball on shooting Tucci in Italy Season 2, the challenges of journeying to remote regions over tourist spots, and capturing emotional moments on camera.

Podcast highlights include:

-How the show featured lesser-traveled regions like Sardinia, Le Marche, and rural Abruzzo to capture authentic regional culture.

-Running a lean, self-contained crew for shoots in remote and hard-to-reach locations. The production has a "no egos allowed" policy where everyone — including Stanley Tucci himself — pitches in to make the day work.

-Why what you see on screen is pretty close to what actually happened on the day, with editing driven mostly by time constraints rather than reshaping the story.

-And a hint at the upcoming show, Tucci in Great Britain, exploring British food history, identity, and the influence of immigrant communities on the national cuisine.
