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.
