You know, most days I'm annoyed enough with this world that I want to punch a hole into another

dimension as well, but does that make me a superhero? Does it? I don't know, maybe. Howdy?

I'm Jeff Goldsmith, and this is the Q&A. My agenda is simple. Each week, I plan to bring you

in-depth insights into the creative process of storytelling. You know, folks, today we have Adam Egypt

Mortimer.

He is the writer-director of Arch Enemy.

And it was fun to interview Adam.

You know, it's weird because, as we'll discuss, Adam comes to a lot of my screenings.

He's a longtime podcast listener.

And it would have been so cool if we could have done this on stage as a screening,

but that's happened so many times during the pandemic.

But at the same time, I wanted to have him in the podcast, Zoomcast, but I'm glad we were able to make it happen today with Adam.

So look, you know, this is a weird and wacky wild film.

You know, Adam was very forthcoming about his creative process and what it took to get these high budget concept ideas on screen for his actual budget.

So I know you'll dig this episode.

And speaking of things to dig, I hope you also check out Backstory Magazine over at Backstory.net.

Man, I am really low on sleep right now because we are really getting closer and closer

to publishing this darn long quarantine issue that we've been working on.

And the final pieces are all falling into the place.

It should be out by the end of 2020, which is really just weeks from now.

So it would be great to have your support.
