Hey, everyone. Capone in Chicago here. I’ve been lucky over the years to talk to a lot of my favorite working directors, but I get an extra special kick out of interviewing the every-growing number of filmmakers that call Austin home. I’d still love to get my mits on Robert Rodriguez at some point, because I have so many questions for him about his entire career. I’m not from Austin, but I’ve never had a single bad time going there over the last seven years to attend Butt-Numb-a-Thon.
Even before I turned on my tape recorder with quintessential Austin director Richard Linklater, we spent a couple minutes just comparing notes on mutual friends and acquaintances in Austin, as well as some of our favorite haunts. But to the business at hand, Richard came to Chicago to talk about his riveting adaptation of FAST FOOD NATION, and so we did.
