A Conversation with Sabyn Mayfield
The art of forging your own path is one of self-discovery, self-reflection, and self-awareness. In a conversation I had with multifaceted artist, filmmaker, writer, and rapper, Sabyn, from his home near Nashville, Tennessee, I learned of a remarkable narrative that bridges the artistic mediums of filmmaking and sound recording, as well as the intersection between hip-hop and country music. Stepping into and inheriting an illustrious pedigree, including his Emmy-award winning mother, Laray Mayfield, and his legendary paternal aunt, Dolly Parton, Sabyn discusses the dichotomies that define his life and career; from growing up in Los Angeles and then reconnecting to his southern roots in Tennessee, to his creative endeavors that connect him to various figures in his lineage but yet continues to propel him forward.

I a • Gary Collinson You would be forgiven for thinking production designer Donald Graham Burt works exclusively with David Fincher. His talents are visible in confirmed classics including Zodiac, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, for which he received an Oscar. Beyond that his work can also be appreciated in Donnie Brasco, Christian Bale headliner Hostiles and most recently Outlaw King featuring Chris Pine. In conversation Donald is self-deprecating, effortlessly engaging and eloquent on his process. Mank appears to be the culmination of a professional relationship spanning more than a decade, which uses Citizen Kane as its backbone to explore broader issues.

Following on from his nomination at the British Academy Film Awards, he took time out to talk to Flickering Myth’s Martin Carr about what was required to bring Mank to life, as well as what a collaboration with David Fincher really invol Casting David Fincher: An Audience with Laray Mayfield
