Video Interview: Intruders Director Juan Fresnadillo
[From Mar. 8 to 17, Flixist will bring you live coverage from deep in the heart of Texas at South by Southwest Film 2012. Keep an eye out for news, features, interviews, videos, and reviews of some of the most anticipated films to hit the festival circuit in 2012.] There are few directors that continue to excite me as much as Juan Carlos Fresnadillo. From his mysterious debut Intacto to the vastly under-appreciated 28 Weeks Later, Fresnadillo has a knack for world-building with a momentum and artistry that few directors have. I had problems with his latest film, Intruders, but his direction wasn't one of them. During SXSW, I was given the opportunity to sit down with Fresnadillo and discuss his latest project and why it appealed to him. Did you know?
