Interview with a Marco Nero


(Cool) Shite on the Tube's daily show, which still doesn't have a name, features an interview with Marco Nero of Animal Logic (a special effects production company). Marco Nero was the Conceptual Artist behind Bounty Trail, one of the oldest fanfilms to date. In the interview he speaks about how his professional career sprung from the works in his portfolio, this fanfilm being one of those items.

(Cool) Shite on the Tube is a weekly podcast out of Tasmania, with a smaller daily show covering news from film.
