We chat with the filmmakers, Daniel Brooks and Edward Williams, about their indie film, “The Bin of Despondency”. They share with us their creative process, their struggles, and their influences. This is a fascinating conversation that will make you laugh and think!
“The Bin of Despondency” is a witty satire of the self-help industry and the quest for success. It follows Patrick, a grumpy aspiring filmmaker, who buys a self-help book called “Success & You” after a series of failures. His old film-making partner is not impressed by his new obsession. Along the way, Patrick encounters various characters who are also looking for the secret to success in their own ways. The film is a brilliant commentary on the modern society and its values.
