RE: Trailer for my friend Nash Edgerton's new movie 'GRINGO'
Thanks a lot for preparing an interview, that's great! Since I'm always interested in personal stories, I'd like to know his way into film, where he maybe struggled / had doubts, what is particularly important to him, which films have moved / touched him most. Or on the not-so-personal-level: I've experienced that film / screenwriting doesn't seem to be the right "art form" for me, therefore I got out of it before I really got in - I felt somehow limited by so many factors, formalities, that I got frustrated. Has he ever felt "too limited" by the medium, or felt that he had/knew a story that would "work" much better as novel, song, poem, sculpture, etc. than as a film? Maybe it's a stupid question, but my own experience really surprised me, I've always loved film, been watching, analyzing, writing about it, I generally know how to write a screenplay, and I wanted to try something new -- but my mind seemed to be so used to my way of "story thinking", which is rather epic (no pun intended), that I couldn't make it work.
Great questions! Taking note....
