I can say with certainty I've never laughed more when discussing dead bodies than I did with P.D. (Phil) Viner, currently crowdfunding for LAST NIGHT TOGETHER on Kickstarter. You can tell straightaway Phil is a born storyteller, whatever the medium. In this episode, we discuss: how he got started in filmmaking; whether crazy trips to film school in Moscow was part of a concerted plan to get "out there" or not (it was not); "write what you know" -- Phil considers it bollocks; his career on stage, in fiction, and as a filmmaker; why he values a collaborative relationship with his co-director -- it allows each person to accentuate their particular gifts; his thoughts on his hometown of Brighton, United Kingdom; the crazy story of LAST NIGHT TOGETHER and why it's a feature film; his next novel and film. If you hear moments of muffled noises or just flat-out laughing, well, I couldn't help myself. I'm guessing you won't be able to, either. From his delivery to his sense of humor, this conversation is one to remember. And if it did make you laugh, head over and give a few pounds to LAST NIGHT TOGETHER. (Harrison Ford and Jesus...probably the only time you'll hear them talked about together on the podcast.)
