Written and directed by William Kaufman, The Channel tells the story of Jamie (Clayne Crawford), a loving father and ex-marine who spends his days as a bank robber in New Orleans. Jamie’s partner-in-crime is his older brother, Mic (Max Martini). Filled with rage, Mic is erratic and ferocious but still wants to look out for his younger sibling. But, when their latest heist goes wrong, Jamie and Mic find themselves in the crosshairs of a determined FBI agent and the criminal underworld, leaving them to fight for their survival. In this 1on1, we speak to Kaufman about the spirit of New Orleans, his shooting style and the line between hero and villains.
