To say it's a tough time for independent filmmaking is an
understatement. Justin McConnell's documentary Clapboard Jungle may
have been made before the pandemic disrupted the film industry but it
still explores the precarious world of indies. Featuring interviews with
the likes of Guillermo Del Toro, Richard Stanley, Barbara Crampton, Paul Schrader,
Tom Savini, George A. Romero, Gigi Saul Guerrero, Michael Biehn
and Frank Henenlotter, McConnell's film poses the question "how does an indie filmmaker survive in the current film business?"
Clapboard Jungle is on US VOD from January 19th. A UK/ROI
release has yet to be announced.
Check out the trailer and poster below.
