  It's Nice That · Sep 21, 2026 · Interview

  John Wilson discusses making his first feature-length film, The History of Concrete, a Magnolia Pictures release that uses concrete as an entry point to examine impermanence, civic infrastructure, art-making, capitalism and sustainability. He describes a process driven by solo street shooting, chance encounters, travel shoots and later editing footage into a loose thematic narrative.
