'Vice Principals' Writer on Why There's No Difference Between Film and TV on the Festival Circuit
David Gordon Green has been hanging out in the indie world for a little while now, but he's making his return to what can be considered a more mainstream endeavor, as he juggles Danny McBride and Walton Goggins as leads in the upcoming HBO comedy Vice Principals.
The premiere was shown at the festival, and Green had a few things to say regarding the festival circuit, and SXSW in particular. "You know, for me, it's just always an opportunity to have a great audience watching some weird shit that you whip up, and this is certainly that.
"I always come here, just even as a fan, just because the crowds are great and the selections are great, so it's cool just to get an audience that feels alive, you know? And, I go to a lot of film festivals where it's a little bit more pretentious or precious or elegant in their whatever, but this is where it feels down to Earth."
Green revealed that two seasons have already been shot for the series, each with nine episodes. "... It was kind of an unusual experience, but, you know, we had a concept and HBO is just really supporting."
