John Hancock is known for many films that could not be more different from each other.  His first feature, Let's Scare Jessica to Death, is a cult horror classic.  Bang the Drum Slowly, a baseball sports drama, featured a young Robert DeNiro as a catcher with a terminal illness. And the holiday classic Prancer is well, ya know, a holiday classic.  Hancock has also directed numerous plays, television shows, commercials and many other notable films, most recently the independent drama The Looking Glass which was filmed in Northern Indiana.  

Paul Nelson talks with John about his childhood days romping through the fruit farm his family owned near LaPorte as well as his long career in film and television.  We learn a little about independent filmmaking and some of his personal preferences when tackling a media project.  This is a must listen episode for anyone with a passion for filmmaking and storytelling as well as those who want to know more about Indiana's notable alumni.
