Something Something about Param Gill

About this episode

Param Gill discusses his indie film that tackles power and corruption in American politics.

Param Gill is the indie filmmaker behind this unexpected hit, and he'd be a perfect guest for IndieWire's Screen Talk right now. As someone who's managed to create a film that both entertains and provokes genuine conversation about power, corruption, and American politics—without major studio backing or compromise—Gill represents exactly the kind of independent voice cutting through in ways Hollywood can't or won't. And with Bad President 2 already in development, this story has legs.
