Ep: 084 - Director Fabio Guaglione
Friday May 05, 2017
Friday May 05, 2017
Had a good time in this interview talk with one of the Directors of the movie called “MINE” Mr. Fabio Guaglione. Fabio called me all the way from Northern Italy to tell us about the movie he help Direct and write called MINE, staring Armie Hammer and produced by Peter Safran (THE CONJURING).
This movie starts off as action-packed Military thriller about a solider who is stuck in the desert for 52 hours after a mission falls apart. Steps on MINE…. “This starts off as a military movie but really turns into something more then that” says Guaglione. The MINE is used as a metaphor…. Listen and find out how.
We discuss the behind the scenes of the film from how long it took to write to overcoming obstacles during filming to the different responses people have been giving about this film.
“Take it for what this movie really is, not what it appears to be”
