Ep677 - John-Michael Powell, Filmmaker ‘Violent Ends’

John-Michael Powell is an Emmy Award–winning filmmaker and co-founder of Midnight Road Entertainment. His latest feature, VIOLENT ENDS, will be released theatrically by IFC Films. VIOLENT ENDS is a southern-gothic revenge thriller set deep in the Ozark Mountains. The film chronicles the life of Lucas Frost, an honest man and one-half of a pair of star-crossed lovers, whose fate is inextricably tied to the crime family that raised him—a family whose only enduring legacy is violence. In this interview, we talk about editing as a vital skill set for directing, his film VIOLENT ENDS, the non-linear path to a career in filmmaking, and much more.
