On this week’s show I talked to Rod Blackhurst, the director of the new film Blood for Dust, about … well, a whole bunch of stuff. From his early shorts on the comedy website Funny or Die starring Dave Franco and Christopher Mintz-Plasse, to a documentary about Amanda Knox, to the horror short “Night Swim” (which recently received the feature-length treatment), to his new picture with the great Scoot McNairy and an all-star supporting cast that includes Ethan Suplee, Stephen Dorff, Josh Lucas, and Kit Harrington, we cover his whole career.
Blood for Dust hits VOD and has a limited theatrical engagement six days from now, and if you’re in the mood for a western neo-noir that deals with people who feel real (and have real-feeling problems), you’re not going to want to miss it.
“Hopefully they come for the humanity.”
I’m in for that.
Real people doing what they love. Is there anything better?
Thank you for bringing these experiences to us, Sonny. Mind blowing, really.
“Synergy between creative souls.” Wee haa!!
Thanks, Sonny. When I experience an interview as generous and energetic as Rod Blackhursts's, I almost start to believe we're not doomed. And even if we are, we gave it our best.
