Who Share Their Creative Process With Each Other
Network Founder and Filmmaker Robert Rodriguez Goes One on One with Legendary Director John Carpenter
New York - February 26, 2014 - El Rey Network today announced start of production on "El Rey Network Presents: The Director's Chair," a new hour-long series featuring the industry's most notable directors as they engage in a revealing and unexpected exchange about the world of filmmaking. The first of ten primetime installments will premiere in April 2014 on filmmaker Robert Rodriguez's new genre-busting English-language cable network.
The series will provide a forum for two directors to go one on one, offering viewers access inside the minds of some of Hollywood's most celebrated and iconic filmmakers. On the roster for season one is legendary filmmaker John Carpenter (Halloween, Escape from L.A., They Live) whose segment was shot last week in Los Angeles. Directors will come together for an intimate dialogue about their craft, their inspirations and explore the early and memorable films that helped propel them to superstar status. Rodriguez, created and produces by Rodriguez, will personally lead the conversations in several of the early episodes including the episode featuring Carpenter.
Rodriguez said: "I feel incredibly fortunate to have worked closely with some of the most creative minds in filmmaking. 'The Director's Chair' will be an intimate forum for the wildly unexpected conversation that ensues when passionate people discuss their fascination with this art form and can share what they have learned about the industry they love. This is an opportunity to do a deep dive into what makes some of these great minds tick and can't wait to have the opportunity to leading the dialogue for some our very first episodes."
