Robert Stark and Alex von Goldstein talk to Director and Screenwriter\u00a0Matthew David Wilder<\/a><\/p>\n

Topics include:<\/p>\n

Matthew’s background, growing up in a trailer park in\u00a0Des Plaines, Illinois<\/a>, \u00a0studying theatre at Yale, and his mentor\u00a0Peter Sellars<\/a>
\nMatthew’s first major project was writing for\u00a0Clive Barker’s<\/a>\u00a0The History of the Devil<\/a>
\nMatthew’s work with Oliver Stone on a film about the war on terror right after 9\/11 which was never released
\nThe film\u00a0Dog Eat Dog<\/a>, staring\u00a0Nicolas Cage<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Willem Dafoe<\/a>, written by Matthew, directed by\u00a0Paul Schrader, which will be released to theatres next month
\nMatthew directed, and wrote\u00a0Your Name Here<\/a>, staring Bill Pullman<\/a>,\u00a0which is a surreal dramatic fantasy biopic<\/a> loosely based on the life of Philip K. Dick<\/a>
\nDirector\u00a0Paul Schrader<\/a>, how he inspired Matthew as a screenwriter, and his concept of the monocular film, which is one protagonist alone against the world
\nThe notion of God’s lonely man, and how Matthew wrote a one act play in college by that name
\nFilm noir<\/a>, the aesthetic, the story of fate hanging over the characters, and the\u00a0Neo-noir<\/a>\u00a0genre
\nMatthew’s interest in combining genres, rather than sticking with one particular one
\nBrett Easton Ellis praises Matthew in his interview with Paul Schrader<\/a>
\nMatthew’s upcoming film Morning Has Broken<\/a>, about a young runaway girl who moves in with a seemingly harmless, elderly, Academy Award-winning songwriter, staring\u00a0Lydia Hearst<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Peter Bogdanovich<\/a>
\nMatthew’s point as a filmmaker, that what influences you is not the most obvious
\nThe importance of breaking taboos, and taking the audience out of their comfort zone
\nThe upcoming film, the\u00a0Looking Glass<\/a>, written by Matthew, staring Nicolas Cage, about a couple who buy a desert motel where they find out that strange, mysterious events occur
\nThe film is inspired by a story of a motel owner who watched guest have sex through peep holes, and David Lynch’s film\u00a0Lost Highway<\/a>
\nMid-century\u00a0Roadside Architecture<\/a>\u00a0and Vintage Vegas
\nMatthew’s political views, how he identifies with the left on the hard issues, but is critical of the micro-issues and political correctness
\nAlex’s point that troll culture is a form of critiquing society, and how that’s lacking in Hollywood today
\nTrue Detective<\/a>
\nLA culture, vapid conversations in coffee shops, obnoxious roidheads, and capturing LA in film
\nMatthew’s experiences directed a play at CalArts, and his observations of young actors wanting the celebrity status more than valuing the content of the work
\nThe shortened attention span and how it effects our culture
\nAlex’s point that there is no longer a mainstream culture, and people have the freedom to find their own creative niches<\/p>\n
