Dive 49: Last Breath Movie Exclusive Interview with Alex Parkinson (director) and David Brooks (producer)

Walter had the incredible opportunity to sit down with Alex Parkinson and David Brooks after seeing Last Breath before it comes out in theatres February 28th, 2025. Parkinson was not only the director and co-writer for this new film, but also the director for the preceding documentary. Brooks produced the film, as well as co-wrote alongside Parkinson and Mitchell LaFortune.

In this episode, you'll get the inside scoop on how Parkinson and Brooks turned a real-life story into a documentary, and then into a creative film starring Woody Harrelson. They tell Walter how safety was always their number one concern throughout filming, with authenticity being a close second. They built a topnotch dive team to assist Simu Liu and Finn Cole while they were filming, which they describe in detail to in this exclusive episode.
