This is Part 2:\n\nCarlos, Chris and I had the great pleasure of talking to Patrick Johnson, the director of 47 Hours To Live, She\u2019s Crushed (Crushed) and Amber Heard\u2019s first film SideFX. \n\nThis was such a good conversation and he starts from the beginning, the winding road to filmmaking. From an offer to make 50 bucks from a man in a van to being inspired to distribute by a guy known as Half Head Fred. Taking films to festivals and how that went. Directors who lost their mind, entire crew walk out during projects, crazy producer and over ambitious projects with no budget.\n\nPlus what happened when Patrick finally got a good budget to make a feature film and the lessons he learned about culture and industry relationships. And why, for him, intent matters and why he\u2019d rather offend you with his movies than get no response at all.\n\nThis story was quite a ride! He also has something new in mind in the works and we hope to talk to him again! If you are a low budget horror fan, check out his flicks...She\u2019s Crushed, 47 Hours to Live, SideFX and (comedy) The Highschooler\u2019s Guide to College Parties. \n\n\nNote: Other movies that were mentioned was Excision, After Dark, Hereditary, Yummy, Uncut Gems\n\n\n\nAs always, thank you for listening!
