My guest this week is David Secter. As a student in the 1960s, David bluffed his way into getting equipment, money, and crew to make a groundbreaking queer film called Winter Kept us Warm. And despite the fact that he went in with zero filmmaking experience, the movie wound up becoming the first English-language Canadian film to screen at Cannes … and went on to inspire the work of many other filmmakers, including David’s classmate David Cronenberg.
We’ll have that conversation in just a minute. First — if you’re enjoying The Sewers of Paris, I hope you’ll consider supporting the show on Patreon at Patreon.com/mattbaume. You may also enjoy my YouTube videos about the making of iconic movies and TV shows. I have a new one coming up about the movie Kiss of the Spider Woman. And check out my weekly livestreams on Twitch where we’ll be watching the behind-the-scenes commentary on Victor/Victoria this weekend; also check out my book Hi Honey, I’m Homo!; and my email newsletter. There’s links to all that in the episode shownotes, and at MattBaume.com.
