SXSW 2010 Video Interview: Directors Matt Harlock and Paul Thomas (AMERICAN: THE BILL HICKS STORY)
One of the documentaries that made some big buzz at SXSW this year was AMERICAN: THE BILL HICKS STORY. During the festival, I sat down with the directors of the film, Matt Harlock and Paul Thomas, to discuss the trials and tribulations of bringing Bill Hicks' life to the big screen. The film tells the story of legendary stand-up comedian Bill Hicks through the eyes of his family and friends and sheds some light on aspects of his life that many people might have misunderstood. We discuss being impartial while making such a film, the influence of Hicks even after his death and how the animated segments came to be. You can check out my our interview after the jump!
