A movie that premiered at Slamdance last week was âFixâ and it stars Olivia Wilde, Shawn Andrews, Megalyn Echikunwoke and Tao Ruspoli. Actually, Tao also wrote and directed the movie, andand it was shot in the first person by the actors in the film.
Anyway, I was able to interview both Tao Ruspoli and Shawn Andrews and the interview isbelow. During our pretty long conversation we covered all the usual subjects like what it was like being in Slamdance, how the film came together, the challenges of making it, and what was it like working with your wife on the movie. A random fact is that Tao is married to Olivia Wilde. Another random fact is Shawn was in "Dazed and Confused." While watching the interview, see if you can figure out what part he played without looking it up.
And if you missed the clips I posted earlier tonight you can watch them here. Iâd watch some before the interview so you can get a feel for the movie and whatâs it all about. Look for the Olivia Wilde and Megalyn Echikunwoke interview in a few minutes.
