Listen "Never Have a Plan B (Joe Russo)"
Episode Synopsis
It can be challenging to ‘make it’ in Hollywood. Our next guest is screenwriter, producer, and director, Joe Russo. In this interview we discuss his part in developing ASU’s film program, getting his first job in Hollywood, leading into producing films such as Nightmare Cinema, The Greatest Beer Run Ever, and co-writing the Bruce Willis helmed Hard Kill. We also discuss how the podcast Post Mortem with legendary horror filmmaker and screenwriter Mick Garris was developed, as well as dive into our thoughts about the future of the film industry.
