Hawkeye Fans Should Check Out This Coming-Of-Age Gem From The Directors
Marvel’s criteria for hiring directors differs from other blockbuster studios in that they don’t require filmmakers to have big-budget experience. This is because Kevin Feige understands that indie directors can be taught to use greenscreens, but blockbuster directors can’t be taught to develop well-rounded characters or tell emotionally engaging stories. The directors that Marvel hires for its movies and streaming shows usually have a couple of great low-budget movies under their belt before they join the MCU. Taika Waititi directed Boy before Thor: Ragnarok; Ryan Coogler directed Fruitvale Station before Black Panther; Chloé Zhao directed Nomadland before Eternals; and Destin Daniel Cretton directed Short Term 12 before Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings.
The third, fourth, and fifth episodes of Hawkeye were directed by filmmaking duo Amber Templemore-Finlayson and Katie Ellwood, better known as Bert & Bertie. In this three-episode run, Bert & Bertie brought some of the best elements to the series. They deepened the mentor-mentee relationship between Clint Barton and Kate Bishop – capitalizing on the terrific on-screen chemistry shared by Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld – and helmed some of the series’ most spectacular action sequences, like the single-take car chase and the rooftop fight between Clint, Kate, Maya, and Yelena. But before working on Hawkeye, Bert & Bertie helmed the heartwarming coming-of-age dramedy Troop Zero for Amazon Studios.
