Jay Duplass & Michael Strassner On The Art of Creative Rebellion
Jay Duplass is an award-winning filmmaker, actor, and co-architect of the mumblecore movement. Michael Strassner is a comedian, actor, and the protagonist of Jay's new film "The Baltimorons."
This conversation explores Jay's first solo directing effort in 14 years, Michael's journey from rock bottom to seven years of sobriety, and how they created a transcendent film for less than the cost of an LA permit. We discuss creative authenticity versus Hollywood cynicism, why early sobriety rarely gets screen time, and how serving someone else's story might save your own.
In the process, we dissect how cultural mythology is built through storytelling and why flawed humans make better protagonists than superheroes.
These two are creating equipment for living. What unfolds is a love letter to persistence. Enjoy!
