Reel Notes w/ CineMasai Roper (of the production duo Roper Williams) | S3 Episode 37
My guest this week is Roper, one-half of the New Jersey-based production duo Roper Williams. We spoke about the Western film Bone Tomahawk, the times we’ve walked out of movies, cult horror films like Await Further Instructions, Chopping Mall, and Skinamarink, the jazz anime Blue Giant, how he and his partner Sanz first met, came up with their name, and their creative process, highlight a handful of their standout beats, how producers are gaining more recognition in the indie scene, and break down the process behind their latest project Infinite Victory Loop, featuring Fatboi Sharif, YL, AKAI SOLO, and Pootie.
