Big feature on so bad there great movies, in lieu of the documentary ‘Best Worst Movie,’ about the fandom and making of ‘Troll 2.’

A massive, heavily-researched multimedia feature that begins with an anecdote, then moves on to a review of the awesome South Korean flick, “The Good, the Bad and the Weird,” and evolves in to a full-blown feature on the new wave of exciting South Korean cinema. It also touches on why even people who may not like foreign films just might find something they love from these films. And it ends with a list as well. So yeah, it’s all over the place. 

An audio interview I conducted with Sundance award-winning (Grand Jury Prize) ‘Winter’s Bone’ director Debra Granik. I recorded, edited and mixed the interview as well.
