David Markey (Filmmaker) - EP114 - The Creative Asylum

Just in time for Christmas, in this episode, I sit down with legendary DIY filmmaker David Markey for a broad-ranging conversation about his life behind the camera. Markey, known for his raw, uncompromising and irreverent approach to documenting underground culture, opens up about the creative journey that led to his upcoming film 'The Secret Lives of Bill Bartell,' a project that I think is perhaps the most remarkable film of his career.

We discuss his decades-long relationship with Bartell, the eccentric musician and scene-staple whose chaotic brilliance inspired the film, a testament to one of the most individualistic lives in the L.A. punk scene of the 1980s and '90s. Markey talks about those early days, the cultural history that he's been part of preserving. and his unruly spark that keeps him pushing himself into new territory.
