AFS Viewfinders Podcast: A Conversation with Andrew Bujalski

Here at AFS, we’re big fans of Austin-based filmmaker and so-called “Godfather of Mumblecore” Andrew Bujalski. Later this month, Bujalski’s newest film SUPPORT THE GIRLS opens around the country, including at AFS Cinema. Our Lead Programmer Lars Nilsen recently sat down with the filmmaker for a conversation about living and working in Austin, his thoughts on Hollywood movies and whether or not we would ever direct a Marvel picture, what he makes of the word “mumblecore” nowadays, and why he will still drop everything to see a 35mm print in theaters.

You can listen to the podcast here or on iTunes.

And make sure to check out SUPPORT THE GIRLS, screening at the AFS Cinema starting August 24th. Andrew Bujalski joins us in person for a Q&A following the August 26th screening. Tickets and more information here.
