Episode 139 - Kung Fu Elliot *Filmmaker Interview*

Andrew and Phil welcome the filmmakers behind the new documentary 'Kung Fu Elliot' to this special episode of 'In the Queue'.  Jaret Belliveau and Matthew Bauckman are the Canadian filmmakers who racked up awards at Slamdance and Fantastic Fest for this fascinating, stranger-than-fiction tale of Elliot 'White Lightning' Scott, a self-proclaimed martial arts master and amateur filmmaker.  The documentary chronicles Elliot's attempt to make his masterwork, "Blood Fight".  In the meantime, Elliot's long-suffering girlfriend Linda complains that he will never propose marriage, despite the fact that she seems bitter and bored with him.  As the film progresses, it becomes clear that the initially affable Elliot is not who he portrays himself to be...to Linda and the world.  Here at 'In the Queue' we love having filmmakers on the podcast to talk about their work. What better compliment to this discussion than viewing 'Kung Fu Elliot' yourself?  The doc can be downloaded on iTunes and Amazon Instant Video.  Thanks again to Jaret and Matt for being on the show.
