IN YOUR MD, DID YOU FEEL LIKE YOU NEED TO START BY EARNG THE TST OF THOSE YOU WERE SHOWSG?I FEEL THAT I HAVE TO EARN THE TST OF ANYONE THAT I MAKE A FILM ABOUT. I’VE MA A LOT OF DOCUMENTARI, AND I’M FISHG UP A DOCUMENTARY I MA ON RIHANNA FOR THE LAST SIX YEARS. I’VE MA DOCUMENTARI ABOUT FOOTBALL PLAYERS AND ARY SERVICE MEMBERS, AND I’VE MA A LOT OF FILMS ABOUT REAL PEOPLE: STRAIGHT, GAY, BLACK, WHE, ASIAN, HISPANIC—I’VE ST A PRETTY BROAD . Y, I AM A WHE FILMMAKER, AND THIS IS PRIMARILY A BLACK MUNY, AND I WENT WH THE SAME CURSY AND SENSIVY AND RPECT THAT I WILL GO TO ANY MUNY WH.

IT’S ALWAYS SO MUCH MORE PLEX AND NUANCED. AND Y, THERE WASN’T A SOUL THAT I MET THAT DIDN’T THK THAT DEREK CHV WAS A BARBARIC SAVAGE WHO SERVED EVERYTHG HE GOT—IF NOT MORE—AND THAT WHAT HAPPENED WAS FUCKG AWFUL. AFTER YOU MOVE OFF OF THAT, ’S VERY HARD TO TEGORIZE TERMS OF THE STEREOTYP. ONE OF THE THGS WE PTURED WAS PROPOSN 2, WHICH WAS, STRAIGHT UP, SHUT THE MNEAPOLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT DOWN, AND WENT TO A MASSIVE VOTE. AND WHAT BEME VERY APPARENT WAS THE MNEAPOLIS NORTH MUNY, WHICH IS PRIMARILY A BLACK MUNY, WERE PLETELY AGAST THE IA OF FUNDG THE POLICE. THEY WANTED MORE POLICE, GOOD POLICE, MUNY-ORIENTED POLICE. AND WHAT WE FOUND WERE SOME OF THE WEALTHIER WHE SUBURBS OUTSI OF MNEAPOLIS, WHO THOUGHT THEY WERE DOG THE RIGHT THG, WERE SAYG, “YEAH, ABOLISH THE POLICE,” AND THAT WAS TERTG. THERE’S A TOWN HALL MEETG WHERE THIS ALL TO A HEAD AND YOU SEE MEMBERS OF THE MNEAPOLIS NORTH MUNY SAYG, “DON’T TELL WHAT’S BT FOR , LET TELL YOU WHAT’S BT FOR . IF YOU THK YOU’RE DOG A FAVOR BEE YOU HAVE GUILT OVER THE FACT THAT YOU’RE RICH AND WHE, YOU MIGHT NOT BE DOG A FAVOR.” I WOULDN’T HAVE NECSARILY THOUGHT THAT WOULD HAPPEN THAT WAY. AND THE VOTE FAILED AND THE POLICE FORCE WASN’T FUND. BUT WE LOVE TO DRAW NCLNS; NOTHG WAS WHAT YOU MIGHT IMAGE WOULD BE IF WHAT YOU DO IS WATCH SOUND B ON MSNBC, FOX, CNN. PEOPLE ARE MUCH MORE PLITED AND MUCH, MUCH MORE TELLIGENT THAN WE GIVE THEM CRED FOR.THANKS TO FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS, THE SHOW AND THE MOVIE, YOU’VE BEE PRETTY TIED TO HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL POP CULTURE. WERE YOU ALWAYS TERTED RETURNG TO THIS WORLD? NOT REALLY. IT STARTED FOR ME WHEN I READ MY BUZZ BISSGER’S BOOK FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS, AND I JT THOUGHT WAS A GREAT BOOK, AND THEN HE STARTED PRSURG ME TO MAKE THE FILM. AND ONCE I WENT DOWN TO TEXAS, DOG MY REARCH TO WRE THE SCREENPLAY, I QUICKLY REALIZED THAT HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS ARE THIS CREDIBLY UNIQUE FLECTN POT WHERE THERE’S STILL SO MUCH NOCENCE AND GENUE LOVE OF THE GAME, WH PRETTY SOPHISTITED ATHLETIC SKILL, THAT’S ALL WRAPPED UP FAY, MUNY, CHURCH, SCHOOL, LOVE, ATH—’S ALL THERE. TO ME, ’S THIS ENDLSLY FASCATG ENERGY SOURCE THAT JT PROPELS SO MANY PELLG STORI.

WHAT’S BEEN LIKE FORMG THIS CLOSE CREATIVE PARTNERSHIP WH HIM, AND WHY HAS HE BEE SOMEONE WHOM YOU’RE NOW BUILDG PROJECTS AROUND?HE’S TERRIFIC, AND HE REALLY R. I’VE KNOWN HIM FOREVER, SCE FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS, AND, LIKE MARK WAHLBERG, IF I’M FORTABLE WH SOMEONE, I TEND TO STAY FOR A WHILE, FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS. I LIKE TO GO TO WORK KNOWG THAT I UNRSTAND SOMEONE’S BRA A B. I THK THAT KSCH IS A REALLY SOPHISTITED ACTOR WHO ME OUT OF THE BARREL REAL FAST, GOT SOME BIG BREAKS AND THGS THAT DIDN’T WORK OUT. AND I WAS PART OF THAT WH BATTLHIP, WHICH I’M STILL PROUD OF, BUT I REGNIZE DIDN’T QUE MOVE HIS REER FORWARD. AND HE H A FEW SPEED BUMPS BUT REALLY STAYED TE TO HIMSELF AND HAS WORKED ON HIS CRAFT. AND I THK, STARTG WH THE DAVID KORH STORY [WA], REALLY LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT HE IS MORE THAN JT A PRETTY FACE; HE REALLY R. AND THE LEVEL OF WORK THAT HE’S BEEN DOG THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, CLUDG WHAT HE DO PAKILLER, IS EXTRAORDARY.

THIS WAS A KID THAT WAS AN HONOR ROLL STUNT, DIDN’T DO ANY DGS, DIDN’T N AROUND WH GANGS, HAD ZERO CRIMAL NNECTN, AND WAS LERALLY JT LEAVG SCHOOL AND BUMPED TO THE WRONG GUY AND WAS MURRED. I DON’T KNOW HOW TO MAKE SENSE OF THAT; IS WHAT IS AND HURTS. AND WE FELT THE ONLY URSE OF ACTN WAS TO TELL THAT STORY. ALL THROUGHOUT THE SEASON, WE WERE PART OF PEOPLE TALKG ABOUT THE VLENCE THE MUNY, THE FEAR THAT VLENCE IS GOG TO H THEM, THEIR ISSU WH POLICG, AND, AT THE END, WE FELT FIRSTHAND.ALL WE ULD REALLY DO AS FILMMAKERS WAS FISH TELLG THE STORY, SHOW THE FILM TO THE FAY AND THE MUNY, TALK TO THEM ABOUT , GGE THEIR REACTN TO , MAKE SURE THAT WE FEEL LIKE WE’RE DOG EVERYTHG WE N TO NOT CROSS A LE. AND WE GOT, VERY STRONGLY, THE SUPPORT OF THAT FAY AND THE ACH: “Y, WE WANT DHN HILL TO BE HONORED AND REMEMBERED THIS WAY.

IN YOUR MD, DID YOU FEEL LIKE YOU NEED TO START BY EARNG THE TST OF THOSE YOU WERE SHOWSG?I FEEL THAT I HAVE TO EARN THE TST OF ANYONE THAT I MAKE A FILM ABOUT. I’VE MA A LOT OF DOCUMENTARI, AND I’M FISHG UP A DOCUMENTARY I MA ON RIHANNA FOR THE LAST SIX YEARS. I’VE MA DOCUMENTARI ABOUT FOOTBALL PLAYERS AND ARY SERVICE MEMBERS, AND I’VE MA A LOT OF FILMS ABOUT REAL PEOPLE: STRAIGHT, GAY, BLACK, WHE, ASIAN, HISPANIC—I’VE ST A PRETTY BROAD . Y, I AM A WHE FILMMAKER, AND THIS IS PRIMARILY A BLACK MUNY, AND I WENT WH THE SAME CURSY AND SENSIVY AND RPECT THAT I WILL GO TO ANY MUNY WH.

IF YOU DO, I WILL GIVE YOU EVERYTHG THAT I HAVE.”WHAT WAS LIKE TO BE ON THE STREETS OF MNEAPOLIS, WHERE GEE FLOYD WAS BTALLY MURRED, AND TALKG TO BOTH THE ACH AND POLICE OFFICERS, SOME OF WHOM WORKED WH DEREK CHV, AND TO THE KIDS, WHO OPENLY ADM THEIR FEAR AND DISLIKE OF THE POLICE?

AFTER YOU MOVE OFF OF THAT, ’S VERY HARD TO TEGORIZE TERMS OF THE STEREOTYP. ONE OF THE THGS WE PTURED WAS PROPOSN 2, WHICH WAS, STRAIGHT UP, SHUT THE MNEAPOLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT DOWN, AND WENT TO A MASSIVE VOTE. AND WHAT BEME VERY APPARENT WAS THE MNEAPOLIS NORTH MUNY, WHICH IS PRIMARILY A BLACK MUNY, WERE PLETELY AGAST THE IA OF FUNDG THE POLICE. THEY WANTED MORE POLICE, GOOD POLICE, MUNY-ORIENTED POLICE. AND WHAT WE FOUND WERE SOME OF THE WEALTHIER WHE SUBURBS OUTSI OF MNEAPOLIS, WHO THOUGHT THEY WERE DOG THE RIGHT THG, WERE SAYG, “YEAH, ABOLISH THE POLICE,” AND THAT WAS TERTG. THERE’S A TOWN HALL MEETG WHERE THIS ALL TO A HEAD AND YOU SEE MEMBERS OF THE MNEAPOLIS NORTH MUNY SAYG, “DON’T TELL WHAT’S BT FOR , LET TELL YOU WHAT’S BT FOR . IF YOU THK YOU’RE DOG A FAVOR BEE YOU HAVE GUILT OVER THE FACT THAT YOU’RE RICH AND WHE, YOU MIGHT NOT BE DOG A FAVOR.” I WOULDN’T HAVE NECSARILY THOUGHT THAT WOULD HAPPEN THAT WAY. AND THE VOTE FAILED AND THE POLICE FORCE WASN’T FUND. BUT WE LOVE TO DRAW NCLNS; NOTHG WAS WHAT YOU MIGHT IMAGE WOULD BE IF WHAT YOU DO IS WATCH SOUND B ON MSNBC, FOX, CNN. PEOPLE ARE MUCH MORE PLITED AND MUCH, MUCH MORE TELLIGENT THAN WE GIVE THEM CRED FOR.THANKS TO FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS, THE SHOW AND THE MOVIE, YOU’VE BEE PRETTY TIED TO HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL POP CULTURE.
