Let us know what you think of Damien Chazelle's Whiplash - is this his best film to date? Leave your comments below!

00:38 - They say to write what you know ... how did you dig into the psyche of J.K. Simmons' character?
02:20 - The Black List screenplay was based on the short film - that short feels like you took an exacto knife to what the feature would be - could you describe the strategy for doing it this way?
04:37 - You shot in October and then you opened Sundance...five months later.
05:00 - When you shoot in a controlled setting - how did that shape your visual strategy for the film - is that something you were visualizing while you were writing the screenplay?
7:02 - I like it when filmmakers make difficult casting choices ... Miles Teller had to learn to play the drums.
8:00 - Huge fan of your editing in this film - I was wondering if the fact that you are a musician helped create this tempo for the film?
