A lot has happened over #SciFiJuly Presents: Dystopian Summer 2: Dystopian HARDER. For one, we celebrated our 150th New World Pictures title with ESCAPE 2000 aka TURKEY SHOOT and now we close out the month with an interview with the film's director, Brian Trenchard-Smith, who returns to the show!

We get into the beginnings of Brian's career and what he learned in his early days before becoming one of the finest exploitation directors ever! We discuss Brian's time directing episodes of Silk Stalkings and also the reasons it's not easy to bring American actors to Australia before diving into ESCAPE 2000 aka TURKEY SHOOT and the difficulty of the production following the suddenly decreased budget and how Brian navigated it, why the financial problems happened, and how it ended up at New World Pictures in 1983! This is a filmmaking master class you will not want to miss! Thanks again to Brian for another incredible interview!
