Fear & Loathing in British Film: In Conversation with Tony Grisoni

British Screenwriter Tony Grisoni (Red Riding, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas) talks to Bill Lawrence (Reel Solutions) about his career to date, from directing and producing short films, to emerging as an internationally renowned screenwriter. Topics include the provenance of his successful partnership with Terry Gilliam (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Tideland), the process from book to script and what inspires him as a filmmaker; from collecting stories to drawing on real life experiences.
