Few series acclimate the viewer as quickly and completely to its period as Netflix‘s “Griselda,” a drama set in the ’70s and ’80s about cocaine magnate Griselda Blanco (Sofia Vergara). From the show’s opening frames, the filmmakers immerse the viewers in 1970s Miami, giving an immediate and persuasive sense that what we’re watching is something more than a typical reconstruction of an era — it feels as though someone just happened to drop a camera in the middle of the real Griselda’s life and captured everything that occurred as it occurred.

Enthused by this anarchic promo, we spoke to Klapperbein about the draws and pitfalls of shooting a music video amidst the chaos of New York City, the set up which enabled them to capture authentic on-street reactions to the enigmatic musician and how...
