Directed by Samir Oliveros, THE LUCKIEST MAN IN AMERICA is set in the year 1984, a time when game shows ruled television. With Press Your Luck ruling the airwaves, the the producers of the show are always searching for the perfect contestant. They always follow their instincts but, strangely, they find themselves drawn to the most unlikely of guests: Michael Larson (Paul Walter Hauser). An unemployed ice cream truck driver, Larson is unruly and unkept yet there’s something about him that the producers believe will make great television. But Larson is more than he seems, leaving the bewildered executives reeling as they attempt to uncover his real motivations. In this 1on1, we speak to Oliveros about why we're obsessed with game shows and whether Larson is a 'winner.'
