Ep 262: Srdjan Spasojevic

Srdjan Spasojevic, the filmmaker behind one of the most controversial films ever made (2010's A SERBIAN FILM), joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen for a wonderfully candid and honest conversation about his career journey so far.  From a child growing up in Serbia with only two TV channels and limited access to films… to a teenager with newfound access to video stores and a love for Chuck Norris… to making short films while studying at university… to having his first feature film thrown out of post-house after post-house due to its shocking and boundary pushing content… to releasing what would become the most notorious film of modern time (banned/rejected in at least 46 countries that we know of)… Srdjan has lived through an experience like no other. Listen as the three filmmakers discuss Srdjan's difficult path and the many hurdles he has faced while refusing to compromise his art.  Dr. Arwen prescribes a special marital edition of "Hollywood Therapy," our Patreon supporters get answers to their "Viewer Mail" questions, and the mysterious curtain that has been surrounding this controversial filmmaker is publicly pulled back to reveal the incredibly kind and talented man behind the notoriety.  No matter what your opinion of A SERBIAN FILM may be we're confident that once you meet the man behind the controversy you'll respect him just as much as Adam, Joe, and Arwen do.  Don't miss Adam, Joe, and Arwen's commentary for A SERBIAN FILM - coming this Friday exclusively for THE MOVIE CRYPT's beloved Patreon supporters!
