The UK series 'Adolescence' has sparked national interest due to its captivating content and innovative filming technique. The show, which has become the most-streamed series on Netflix in the US, consists of four hour-long episodes captured in a single take, showcasing the crew's meticulous planning and creativity. Interviews with key creatives reveal the behind-the-scenes efforts to protect young star Owen Cooper, who was supported by a child psychologist and abundant comfort measures. The show's origins trace back to the one-take film 'Boiling Point,' emphasizing how collaborative endeavors can lead to significant creative ventures.
Before Adolescence, there was Boiling Point, a one-take movie starring Stephen Graham and directed by Philip Barantini. This was how the whole thing started.
Production took a lot of care to protect the show's young star, Owen Cooper. A child psychologist was on set every day and chaperones were present.
At the end of each take, it's emotional, and everyone's gone through this huge rollercoaster. I’d ask Owen, are you OK? He’d say, yeah, I’ve got a swingball game.
The meticulous planning and innovations of the crew allowed each of the four hour-long episodes to be captured in a single take.
