Storytellers - Neill Blomkamp

On this special episode of 97 South “Storytellers” podcast, host Paul McGuire is joined by Golden Globe and Oscar-nominated director and screenwriter, Neill Blomkamp. Neill is the creative force behind iconic films like "District 9," "Elysium," "Chappie," and the recent hit "Gran Turismo." Known for his unique fusion of socio-political commentary against tech- forward backgrounds, Neill’s stories often focus on underdogs fighting for their place in a challenging world and the triumph of the human will and spirit against great odds. While “Storytellers typically the art, craft and career of songwriting, Neill’s approach to filmmaking offers a fascinating perspective on storytelling in a different but equally powerful medium. So, without further ado, let’s dive into this conversation and explore the mind behind some of the most thought-provoking films of our time.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
