Show Notes
We're not used to seeing refreshing, high-quality movies (other than intended Oscar palyers) hit theatres in January, or as some like to call it, Dumpuary. Of course, there are always exceptions, like Paddington 1 and 2, Split, or Cloverfield.
This January, on the brink of February, writer-director Drew Hancock’s feature debut, Companion, joins that list. The romcom-esque sci-fi thriller, starring Sophie Thatcher and Jack Quaid, undeniably brings a fresh perspective to one of the most pressing topics of our time.
Drew is more than just a promising new voice in the industry. In our conversation, he shares how he got his start, his unique approach to exploring new technology through an unexpected lens, and the surprisingly quick process of landing the perfect producers for his project, the team behind Barbarian.
