We are joined by the acclaimed director Ben Wheatley and his longtime producing partner Andy Starke for an in-depth career conversation hosted by Sam Clements in which they will discuss their collaborations, their dynamic and the impressive range of films they have created together. From breakout horror thriller KILL LIST to EIFF Midnight Madness Opener BULK, via hilarious black comedy SIGHTSEERS and many more, the films the pair have made together have always surprised and delighted audiences, speaking to a spirit of fearless independence and genre experimentation that is inspiring and exciting.
