Former DGA president, and one of the most successful directors working in television, Paris Barclay joins us on the podcast to discuss his remarkable work on episodes six and ten of DAHMER, season one of Ryan Murphy’s series, “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.” But it was work we almost didn’t get to see, because he was initially very reluctant to take on the job. “This one was a hard NO. Um, ‘I'm doing a series about Jeffrey Dahmer and I want you to be a part of it’ is not a call that I'm delighted to receive. So I said, ‘listen, I'm of an age where I lived through Jeffrey Dahmer and I know what Jeffrey Dahmer did to black and gay men like myself. And I don't think it's worth doing another story that looks at Jeffrey Dahmer and in any way makes him a more credible, emotional, positive figure.’” — Paris Barclay, Director, DAHMER So why did Paris decide to take the gig, and how did he manage to craft such beautiful and heartbreaking stories depicting the impact of one of the most grim serial killers in history?
