'Mantis' w/ Director Justice Hardy & EP Lindsey Barnes
Published 3 weeks, 6 days ago
Description
This week, Austin is joined by writer/director Justice Hardy and Executive Producer Lindsey Barnes to discuss their new film, Mantis, a sci-fi/horror/thriller. They discuss the origins of Mantis' heady concept (interviewing murder suspects up to 36 hours after they die), the role of an EP on an indie film, what films influenced Mantis (and which ones would make a killer double feature with it), and the magic of good Tex-Mex.
PRODUCTION NOTE: Austin's audio is a little muddy in the intro. It only lasts about 10 seconds. This is why we don't record with headsets, kids.
