The Movie Crypt: Ep. 79: Director Brian Trenchard Smith

The Movie Crypt

He's made more movies than most filmmakers can even dream of, and Quentin Tarantino has cited him as one of his favorite directors of all time. This week, the legendary Brian Trenchard Smith (LEPRECHAUN 3 & 4, STUNT ROCK, BMX BANDITS, DRIVE HARD) sits down with Adam and Joe to discuss his long, multi-continent, several decade spanning journey in cinema. From seeing his very first motion picture projected on the side of an army tent, to his experience attending the UK's prestigious Wellington College, to uprooting himself to Australia where he saw an opportunity to get his start creating network television promos, to helping push Australia's government to introducing investment programs for films, to discovering and giving first chances to actors like Nicole Kidman and Chace Crawford, to consistently finding ways to stretch a budget further than most would conceive possible, to the pros and cons of making such an incredibly diverse slate of films that it is impossible for him be pigeonholed in any specific genre… Brian offers his own brand of sound advice on filmmaking and an insightful perspective on where the industry has been and how drastically it has changed over his decades working in the business.
