What a treat! Our first directorial interview and it's a smasher, with fellow Brit action maestro JAMES NUNN. James has helmed sniper thriller Tower Block, open sea thrillkiller Shark Bait, 2 entries into the WWE Marine franchise plus 4 movies with HRH Scott Adkins - Green Street 3, Eliminators, One Shot (which we discussed on our 2nd episode of this pod!) and his latest is sequel One More Shot...
We discussed the nerdy logistics of making a one-take movie, how to wring the most from a budget, taking into account what the audience wants and everything else you need to become a... Master Of Nunn.
