The B Side
Roger Corman, legendary B-movie director and producer, looks ahead to the newest generation of filmmakers. What kinds of films can we expect to see in the years to come? Then media consultant Herb Clark doles out some advice for public radio. Also, a look into why makeovers are overrated – maybe we should all have makeunders instead. We’ll air part of the remote broadcast Leonard did at MoMA earlier this week – find out about MoMA’s New Directors/New Films series. And for our weekly Please Explain feature, we’ll tell you how to get organized.
King of the Exploitation Film
During Roger Corman's some-50 year career, he has produced more than five hundred films on shoestring budgets, making a profit on nearly every one. Blood-sucking vampires, biker gangs, vigilante strippers...He's a role model for many of today's indie filmmakers.
