My Interview With John Chester, Director of 'The Biggest Little Farm'


For MEL, I spoke with John Chester, a filmmaker who, with his wife, moved from Los Angeles to a farm about 40 miles north. They wanted to redo their lives, reconnect with nature, the whole thing. And he made a movie about the experience, The Biggest Little Farm. I was curious to talk to him about what we don't see in the film -- namely, the toll this lifestyle change took on their relationship. Chester was really candid, which I appreciated. Our conversation is here.
