Movie Meltdown - Episode 404
This week we kick-off our
coverage of the Flyover Film Festival as we sit out on the
veranda and talk with director Vincent Grashaw.
Vincent's latest feature And Then I Go
just made its worldwide premiere at the 2017 Los Angeles Film
Festival before coming to Flyover. We discuss the
challenges of getting his latest drama made and the way he tries to
approach its sensitive
subject matter. We also address his early films as well as his
previous feature Coldwater and about his crazy
experiences working on and producing the indie hit
Bellflower.
And while we come to terms with the
fact that some of us never grow out of that awkward stage, we also
bring up... Film Festivals, Arman Darbo and Sawyer Barth, the power
of friendship, Get Out, shooting on-location, nothing to do with
the industry, The Beguiled, back to school sales, I like to read
other people's stuff and fall in love with it, someone stole my
pencil, The Thin Red Line, Sunday night uneasiness, It Comes at
Night, a very suburban feel, He Got Game, a form of trickery, The
Babadook, unfiltered shame, Evan Glodell, you don't want to
glamorous it, It Follows, working with kids, your world is only
that big, he was somebody I really believed in, mental health,
shooting in Louisville, elevated horror, there are no single
answers to these tragedies, The Witch, everything hurts more, is
that your wheelhouse, Saving Private Ryan, access to guns, you hit
this wall, Trigger Street, probably very illegal?, Seven, a user
review on IMDB, actually trying to get a feature made, The
Basketball Diaries, we were all crazy at that time, ripping off
other movies, Kids, if you only knew the hell we went through, we
were just doing it, forensic investigation, true crime books and
the most impressionable years.
"...it was... I'd say the most
down and dirty a group of friends... can make a
movie."
