Scotty talks to director Thom Eberhardt about his long career in the movie industry, from his admittedly humble beginnings helming the cult thriller "Sole Survivor" (1984) to directing two of the Britain's greatest actors in the Sherlock Holmes comedy "Without a Clue" (1988). Of course, they also discuss Thom's classically bonkers apocalyptic teen horror comedy "Night of the Comet" (1984).
In this wide-ranging conversation, Scotty and Thom cover such topics as creative inspiration, the joys and challenges of working within low budgets, how to make one America's largest cities appear to be empty, New Mexico's unique cinematic gifts, the process of having one's work "healed" over time, and much more.
