The Good, the Bad and the Ugly on directing in Hollywood. And what’s cool about doing it yourself, independently. Do you agree with Scott?
In this 4-part interview, writer/director Scott Sanders (Black Dynamite, Thick as Thieves, and Aztec Warrior) joins indi/cult-director Jack Perez (Some Guy Who Kills People, Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus, La Cucaracha, The Big Empty) for a super candid and sometimes shocking in-depth discussion on the enormous challenges and obstacles faced by filmmakers in Hollywood.
From making the jump from short film to first feature and navigating Sundance, to having the courage to say no to lame studio ideas and staying true to yourself – this series reveals what it takes to survive and succeed in the sometimes surreal and often infuriating movie business.
Episode 2 focuses on the ups and downs of Black Dynamite’s distribution – from initial success at Sundance to disastrous studio preview screenings to a relative failure at the box office. And then its unexpected rise to cult status.
With references to Black Dynamite, Thick as Thieves, Michael Jae White, Alec Baldwin, Jaws, The Love Boat and Alfred Hitchcock.
