Summary
Filmmaker Paul Bunnell - the man behind The Ghastly Love of Johnny X - joins this episode of the Movies In Focus podcast to talk about his new film, an offbeat reimagining of the now lost Lon Chaney horror film, A Blind Bargain . Shot on Kodak film, this 1970s set horror comedy sees Jake Horowitz’s Dominic Fontaine make a Faustian pact with Crispin Glover’s mysterious Dr. Gruder. A fascinating guest with decades of filmmaking behind him, Bunnell talks about how he became attached to A Blind Bargain , working with the legendary Back To The Future star Crispin Glover - and why he was insistent on shooting this quirky pic on Kodak film. We also get into the mechanics of what its like shooting on film, in an industry which is now so focused on digital filmmaking. This is another must listen episode for film fans who really enjoy cult curiosities.
