INTERVIEW - Mickey Reece Will Die If He Stops Making Films

Over the last eleven years, Writer/Director Mickey Reece has made 30 feature films that have run the genre gamut of psychodramas, stylish comedies, bizarro westerns, and imaginative kids films, Once each film would be completed, he would play it once in Oklahoma City, put it on the shelf, and move on to the next one. The rest of the world has never seen his work.  Until now.  In anticipation of his upcoming comedy ARROWS OF OUTRAGEOUS FORTUNE premiering at the Chattanooga Film Festival, which is only the second time one of Reece's films will be featured at a major festival, Justin sits down with Mickey to talk creative drive, inspiration and how one guy can make so much stuff without throwing in the towel. Check out a short doc on Mickey Reece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jdr7JmODvD4 For the trailers of the films we discuss, check out Mickey's Youtube Page: at:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEgM14UsWZbYJnymNJF4Ztg
