Photographer and director Sam Jones sits down with the myriad professionals of television and movies, and other celebrities (great skateboarders, for example), to discuss their development before fame, their passions beyond their careers, and gives them a space to open up about their insight into their business and their own abilities. Filmed in black and white, with a few deep cushion chairs and sparse set, the show relies on Sam's ability to relate to the guests and their will to speak freely with him.

Episode 1

Matt Damon

Sun, Sep 21, 2014

When a kid tells you he wants to be an actor and starts holding regular meetings in the high school cafeteria with his "business partner", it's kind of cute. When they establish a joint bank account to fund New York audition trips and the occasional arcade game, well, call it naïve. Unless you're Matt Damon and said business partner is Ben Affleck. Then call it a no-plan-B, laser-like focus on a goal - one that spawned the Academy Award-winning script for Good Will Hunting. What started as an attempt to write themselves into acting jobs garnered Damon not only accolades, but also some early lessons about fame, career choices and the industry he was determined to be a part of. It also enrolled him in a 20-year, on-the-job-master class with the best filmmakers of our generation, including Martin Scorsese, the Coen brothers, Steven Spielberg, Clint Eastwood, Steven Soderbergh Francis Ford Coppola and Gus Van Sant. He's used these opportunities, hard work, and his unflagging curiosity to develop a remarkably insightful approach to his craft. Along the way, he also developed an uncanny ability to disappear into any character and become someone believably different in every film. So what could possibly be next? Damon tells Off Camera why no matter what it is, it will be something that he absolutely loves.

Episode 2

Ed Helms

Sun, Sep 28, 2014

What, me worry? Editor, musician, actor, comedian - Ed Helms makes it all look easy. And for him, it kind of is. The secret? A supportive, if showbiz-ignorant family helps, as does a seemingly bottomless supply of self-confidence. Helms left a happy, successful career as a commercial editor to take his chances in comedy with none of the attendant anxiety you'd expect with such a move. Why? He was just pretty sure he could do it. And he was right, landing at The Daily Show as one of its best writers and correspondents. As far as Helms was concerned, he was pretty much in his dream job when he was offered a role on The Office, but with no guarantees Andy Bernard would live beyond a couple of episodes. Risk an established career for what could easily be a rapid sitcom death? He figured he could do that, too. And we all know how that worked out. Helms talks to Off Camera about the arc of his career, his band (Andy Bernard's mad banjo skills are real, kids), how The Hangover impacted his life and his rampant curiosity about, well, almost everything. Don't mistake Ed's confidence for arrogance - chalk it up to his hard work and equal parts respect and disregard for fear. But mostly, this most happy fella simply loves every moment of what he does, whatever that happens to be at the moment. Which is probably why we do, too.
