“I’m there to make you care, to move you, to make you laugh, to make you cry…to hopefully improve your lives.” Mike Leigh has directed 15 feature films over 5 decades with a unique style of immersing his actors in the creative process of developing scripts over months of research and improvisation. From ‘Secrets & Lies’ to ‘Hard Truths,’ Mike takes a look at all of his films and discusses in detail how they came to life.

LAVISHLY DEMURE

“Now I actually am gonna cry!” Four days before her wedding to fellow musician Damiano David, Dove Cameron visits the Valentino studio in Rome for her final wedding dress fitting. While Dove never had a vision of her perfect wedding, she’s never been more certain that she’s found the love of her life. Stepping inside Valentino, Dove gets a closer look at her beautifully detailed, celestial wedding dress, complete with a veil adorned with moons and stars—a reference to her middle name.
