A Place For Film - Student Filmmaker Russell McGee

Episode 116 - Interviewing Student Filmmaker Russell McGee

On this week's episode, we're talking to student filmmaker Russell McGee about his work. Russell just won Best Narrative Feature at the Iris Film Festival.

We start out with What Have You Seen Lately and Jason is covering the new Arnold Schwarzenegger film The Last Stand, and Andy is covering a couple of films at the Cinema. Also check out our YouTube page for some bonus additional reviews of Zero Dark Thirty and Silver Linings Playbook.

We then start talking about the work of Russell McGee. If you've attended any student film events at the IU Cinema recently, you've definitely seen some of Russell's work. He began as a playwright, and is working on making the switch to film. It's an interesting conversation so enjoy the episode.
