Interview: Alistair Banks Griffin – The Wolf Hour

Date:

For his sophomore feature, Alistair Banks Griffin proposes a phobia friendly transgressive and forbidding drama that makes strange bedfellows out of the process of healing, self preservation, mental mutilation, isolation and guilt. In a fiery fueled backdrop, The Wolf Hour features a Naomi Watts who is into deep psychosis; we first met Alistair back in 2010 at the Cannes Film Festival where he premiered Two Gates of Sleep in the Directors’ Fortnight. We discussed the time in between films, and a lot of the technical aspects in this “buzz” worthy return.
