Today's guest is writer/director Clark Gregg talking about his debut feature film CHOKE (based on the novel by Chuck Palahniuk) starring Sam Rockwell and Anjelica Huston, which premiered at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. Clark Gregg got his start as an actor, joining the Atlantic Theater Company with David Mamet and William H. Macy. His acting credits include THE AVENGERS, 500 DAYS OF SUMMER and STATE AND MAIN. In addition to acting, Clark began writing screenplays and was hired to write WHAT LIES BENEATH for Robert Zemeckis. Listen to Clark as he provides tremendous insight in how to navigate the world of independent film financing, working with A-list actors, and how betting on yourself is the key to getting any film made.
