While Sundance/Slamdance happened about a month ago, I’m only now editing the final tape of video interviews that I recorded at the Festival. I know it’s a bit late…but it takes a lot of time to edit, render and post almost 7 hours of video. I hope you understand why it’s taken so long...

Now that my apology is out of the way, let’s get to my video interview with Lou Taylor Pucci.

While Lou’s name might not be that familiar to a lot of you, I’ve been a fan of his work since I saw him in “Thumbsucker”. After that film, Lou worked on a few other projects, but the next one that really caught my eye was an underappreciated gem called “The Go-Getter”. It was a road trip movie that also starred Zooey Deschanel and Jena Malone and it had some really great cinematography. If you haven’t seen it, definitely check it out.

And since that film came out in 2007, Lou’s been in a number of other films, and at this year’s Sundance Film Festival he had three movies playing including “Brief Interviews With Hideous Men”, “Arlen Faber” and “The Informers”. So perhaps Lou is on the cusp of breaking out and becoming a familiar name.

Anyway, while at this year’s Sundance Festival I got to sit down with Lou at the MySpace Café in Park City and we did a great extended interview where we talked about everything – from all the various movies he had in the Festival to what it’s like being a Judge. And what makes this interview so great is how we didn’t have to rush to try and hit the bullet points you always have to talk about…instead it was a great conversation that happened to be on camera. And with that….I hope you enjoy watching. And a big thank you to Lou for giving me so much of his time.
