This episode was a lot of fun. Dan & Michael sit down with Nathan Karimi and David Christopher Pitt, the two 'tell like it is' filmmakers behind the upcoming feature length film, Oscar.Tango. Hellwater.

Oscar. Tango. Hellwater.  is a horror re-imagining of William Shakespeare's Othello. This film was shot almost entirely in Blackwater, MO.  Nathan Karimi (Writer/Director) and  David Christopher Pitt (DP/Editor/Colorist) give us all the behind the scenes details from Nathan getting fired from his job as a teacher for writing scripts on the job to some horrors stories of development hell from other projects. We learn about their decision to take matters in their own hands with Oscar.Tango. Hellwater.

In this episode, we talk budgets, scriptwriting, directors fighting for their ideas, visual style, and so much more. Just a word of warning, there is some cursing in this episode. A few links to things mentioned in the episode:
