Show Notes

<p><strong>John Sloss</strong>, one of the Sundance Film Festival's most seasoned players, gives a window into selling movies as the independent film world struggles to recover. He talks about diversifying his business last year by distributing the documentary <em>Exit through the Giftshop</em>, and how that was both a solid business decision and a wild ride because Banksy, the famously secretive street artist behind the film, was in charge of all the marketing yet refused to talk with him.&nbsp; Then we meet <strong>Loyd Catlett</strong>, Jeff Bridges' longtime stand-in and stunt double. After some 50 odd movies together Catlett talks about being at peace in the shadow of "The Dude," getting his head shaved for <em>Iron Man</em>, and the security of knowing that when the next gig comes he'll be there.</p>
