Clint Bentley, our guest on today’s show, and his filmmaking partner Greg Kwedar, co-write and co-produce every feature film project they tackle, with one of them taking on the role of director. This wildly unique and successful partnership has led to one of the year’s most beloved movies, “Sing Sing.”
Today, Clint unpacks how he and Greg decided to tackle the project, how they involved the real life creators behind the program that inspired the movie, and – yes, this is true – how they managed to pay everyone on set the exact same day rate.
