Summary
Have you ever thought about how difficult it would be to make a movie about child trafficking that anybody would watch? Alejandro Monteverde, director of the hit indie film "Sound of Freedom," thought of little else for the past five years as he searched for the right partners. The SASF guys talk with Alejandro to hear how -- far beyond the $20 million-dollar movie he hoped it would be -- "Sound of Freedom" because a summer blockbuster, now on track for $300 million. They also get Monteverde's explanation of how he made Light a character in a dark movie, how he fought to make it "feel" like theater instead of reality, how he went through four composers before he found one who could make Sound a character too, how a "divine moment" made the end of the movie perfect, and much more. You'll also get a sneak peek at the director magic behind Monteverde's upcoming new film, Cabrini (2024), how reflections become a symbol for immigrants, and the tension between a director's artistic ego and the project itself.
