Room Temperature w/ Dennis Cooper and Zac Farley

About this episode

Gus McGrath interviews Dennis Cooper and Zac Farley about their film ROOM TEMPERATURE and their approach to filmmaking.

Occasional presenter and reporter-on-assignment Gus McGrath brings us an exclusive interview with King of Transgressive Literature-cum-filmmaker Dennis Cooper and his charming, longterm collaborator Zac Farley ahead of the Australian premiere of ROOM TEMPERATURE, their latest film about a very dysfunctional family turning their home into a haunted house, which is playing at the Central Coast Film Festival on November 7. Hear the kindly moviemaking duo talk about their love of Halloween, disregard for genre, and how Puce Mary made a score for this film without a score, as Gus tries to contain his excitement.
