Watch Parts 1 & 2 NOW: http://bit.ly/WVYc79
In this 7-part series, acclaimed director Joe Carnahan (The Grey, Narc, Smokin’ Aces, The A-Team) 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 navigating temperamental actors, interfering producers, and scumbag would-be financiers to raising indie-money and fighting to get your vision on screen, this series reveals what it takes to survive and succeed in the sometimes surreal and often infuriating movie business.
In part 3, Joe and Jack debate whether The Avengers and Marvel’s comic book movie dominance will forever change the way films are designed and perceived by audiences, and discuss the strength and resonance of the more character-driven films of the 70’s, including Taxi Driver, The Conversation, Serpico, Network, All the President’s Men, the original Taking of Pelham 1-2-3 (1973), Hickey & Boggs, Last Tango in Paris and The Conformist.
