Joe Swanberg made a film about love, friendship and craft beer, but he didn’t entirely realize just how much beer his cast was drinking until he edited Drinking Buddies together. It’s a LOT of beer, folks. Fortunately, director Joe Swanberg loves beer, and he loves making improvised motion pictures about human connections, and we loved talking to him about Drinking Buddies right here at CraveOnline.
William Bibbiani of The B-Movies Podcast sat down with prolific director Joe Swanberg to talk about his unusual filmmaking process, the mumblecore movement, the mumblegore horror offshoot, filming fight scenes with choreography, the big moment Drinking Buddies star Olivia Wilde contributed to the film, and what a Joe Swanberg action movie would look like. Surprisingly, it sounds action-packed.
Drinking Buddies is now available on Video On Demand, and opens in theaters on August 23, 2013.
