Ep694 - Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett, Directors ‘Ready or Not 2: Here I Come’

from Creative Principles · host Creative Principles Podcast

Directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett have cemented themselves as subversive filmmakers with broad audience appeal. The duo garnered positive attention after directing segments of 2012’s V/H/S, but it was the Searchlight horror film READY OR NOT that took them to the next level. The film became a cult classic and earned nearly $58 million at the global box office. In this interview, we talk about the organizational challenges of a co-directing partnership, the benefits of budget limitations, their new film, and much more. Want more?
