The brutal art of indie filmmaking with Tyler Nilson and Michael Schwartz, co-directors of 'Los Frikis'

The Peanut Butter Falcon, you remember that one, right? Well, the directing duo of Michael Schwartz and Tyler Nilson are back with Los Frikis! And what’s more punk than staying in the world of indies instead of chasing a big studio deal?
In our in-depth conversation with the two, we dive into the creative decisions behind their follow-up to their debut feature, their choice to take a universal story to early ‘90s Cuba, and the ever-evolving (but not always for the better) landscape of independent moviemaking.
