    Honestly, the best advice I've ever gotten from a filmmaker was from Matt Johnson. When The Dirties came out I was 15, and I actually found the film's website and sent an email to the site saying that I was a young fan and that I really appreciated the DIY aspects of the film and how exciting it was to see a young filmmaker making something delightful. Johnson actually sent me a personal reply telling me to keep going, that I'll be great, not to worry, and he was 15 when he started too. That single two-line email kept me going for years, and I still go back to that when I feel down. So Matt, if you're seeing this, thank you for helping a 15 year old kid keep going. This man is a treat and his films deserve to be watched.

    Matt is so interesting; funny, intelligent and a true heart for independent cinema. Also, a talented actor, you wouldn't have thought he was playing much of a character in The Dirties but it really goes to show in this interview, he's an articulated professional. Pleasure to watch; really good questions, great answers. Looking forward to checking out Operation Avalanche.

    the original Criterion Collection Nirvana the Band the Show the DVDs were hilarious - rated R and produced by SEGA lol. Matt downplays them as amatuer but they were gorrilla style punk comedy gold full of perfect unlicensed music cues and irreverent gags and references. so many extras and easter eggs on it too. The original website was great as well, one link literally just led to the entire "the Edge" movie with Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin.

    this is probably my favorite interview, and i think this is my third time watching it over the years. besides just being generally interesting, i particularly love the lesson/affirmation of contextualism: that any trait's value is defined entirely by context. i also love being reminded that intelligent filmmaking exists. i often get really irritated at how thoroughly saturated our culture is with generic, thoughtless bs that's optimized entirely for cash flow, rather than anything of cultural value.

    Such a testament to their skills and methods that I had absolutely no idea any of this was real at all going into it in terms of location and performance. Such a fun and impressive movie. So glad I finally got around to watching Matt Johnson’s films.

  • @Luschan
    @Luschan Před 2 měsíci +1

    Matt has that intimidating combo of intelligence, social skills, kindness, and a sense of humor that takes nothing seriously and has total self-assuredness.
    As a neurotic self-doubting introvert, generous charismatic funny people simultaneously fascinate and scare me. Hard to explain why, but they always set off a “does this person hate me and is mocking me by being nice?” spidey sense. Even when I know it’s totally illogical.
