Summary

OBSESSION has rewritten the Hollywood rulebook and one man is responsible for that -- director Curry Barker, all of 26 years old. Since his under million dollar horror feature debuted last month, the film and Barker's reputation have grown week by week. Josh catches up with Curry in the middle of this amazing run to find out what it's like to have THE film everyone is talking about, getting shouted by Steven Spielberg, getting offered projects like TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, and maintaining artistic integrity even as offers come flooding in. #happysadconfused #joshhorowitz #obsession #currybarker NOTE: This conversation contains OBSESSION spoilers!
