We are joined by legendary filmmaker, Joe Dante, who directed movies like Gremlins, The Howling, and Innerspace. A true cinephile, Joe shares his experiences of working with great collaborators such as Spielberg and Corman. He also explains that while filmmaking has changed since he started, newer filmmakers still have the opportunity to create great films.
In this episode, we talk about…
Working for Roger Corman at the beginning of Joe’s career
How Joe first became a “film nut”
The influence cartoons had on his films
Adding his naturally fragmented personality to each of his films
When working on studio films, it can be difficult to be expressive
Exposing more people to great films that are underappreciated or underseen
New filmmakers can accomplish a lot, even with little financial resources
