Honestly, the best advice I've ever gotten from a filmmaker was from Matt Johnson. When The Dirties came out I was 15, and I actually found the film's website and sent an email to the site saying that I was a young fan and that I really appreciated the DIY aspects of the film and how exciting it was to see a young filmmaker making something delightful. Johnson actually sent me a personal reply telling me to keep going, that I'll be great, not to worry, and he was 15 when he started too. That single two-line email kept me going for years, and I still go back to that when I feel down. So Matt, if you're seeing this, thank you for helping a 15 year old kid keep going. This man is a treat and his films deserve to be watched.

Matt is so interesting; funny, intelligent and a true heart for independent cinema. Also, a talented actor, you wouldn't have thought he was playing much of a character in The Dirties but it really goes to show in this interview, he's an articulated professional. Pleasure to watch; really good questions, great answers. Looking forward to checking out Operation Avalanche.

I love how Adam is so well researched for these interviews just to attain more info. just shows how he's so good at this

Believing this was a hotel room, I wonder how many looks you got with like three people carrying camera equipment asking for a room. Just curious.

Linyboo are you a trap

This is the most perfect video to ever exist.

the original Criterion Collection Nirvana the Band the Show the DVDs were hilarious - rated R and produced by SEGA lol. Matt downplays them as amatuer but they were gorrilla style punk comedy gold full of perfect unlicensed music cues and irreverent gags and references. so many extras and easter eggs on it too. The original website was great as well, one link literally just led to the entire "the Edge" movie with Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin.

Wow this was a really amazing video

I like it when you do interviews. They're cool because you seem to get along so well with the people you're interviewing. Any opportunity that you can get more interviews please do because they're interesting to watch, and now I'm excited for what this director will bring in the future.

Oh shit, WADUB CUKBOIIIIIIIIIII

I absolutely loved this video. I liked how prepared you were, the questions were great. And Matt is just amazing

Watched the Dirties the other day because of your recommendation, and I am watching a ton of the YMS recommendations, and I am loving them!

Adam this is so awesome. I love the Dirties and I'm so excited to see Operation Avalanche, thank you for this.

Adam looks like the subject of an early 16th century painting.

this is probably my favorite interview, and i think this is my third time watching it over the years. besides just being generally interesting, i particularly love the lesson/affirmation of contextualism: that any trait's value is defined entirely by context. i also love being reminded that intelligent filmmaking exists. i often get really irritated at how thoroughly saturated our culture is with generic, thoughtless bs that's optimized entirely for cash flow, rather than anything of cultural value.

Wait, he survived that school shooting?

The Dirties was excellent, just watching Operation Avalanche right now for the first time, it's also very good.

Please keep doing more videos like this, it's very helpful for a young filmmaker like myself and you're a fun interviewer to watch.

Such a testament to their skills and methods that I had absolutely no idea any of this was real at all going into it in terms of location and performance. Such a fun and impressive movie. So glad I finally got around to watching Matt Johnson’s films.

Matt has that intimidating combo of intelligence, social skills, kindness, and a sense of humor that takes nothing seriously and has total self-assuredness. As a neurotic self-doubting introvert, generous charismatic funny people simultaneously fascinate and scare me. Hard to explain why, but they always set off a “does this person hate me and is mocking me by being nice?” spidey sense. Even when I know it’s totally illogical.

great interview :) glad you make this type of content as well..!!

It's cool you got an interview with Matt Johnston, I really loved the dirties and it was one of the few movies that made me realize I could make a movie. I've loved movies for so long that I'm excited to start making one soon.

I love how laid back your interviews are.

oh shit wadup cuc bboooooooooooiiiiiiiii!!!!!

I love content like this, this is brilliant! If you're reading this Adam, PLEASE TRY TO DO MORE CONTENT LIKE THIS!!!!! Love u x

Thank you for a great interview

EXTREMELY inspiring. Thank you!

I feel too much sexual tension between these guys.

ive waited for this for so long omg.

The Dirties was amazing. The ending was one that stuck with me for weeks and I still love to go back and rewatch it just for that scene at the end.

I'm so glad I got to see all the episodes of NTBTS before they took it down! Even happier my voicemail could be featured on the show!

I fucking love your interviews, you always pick the coolest dudes.

You both rock! Still got my NVTBTS dvd, gonna have to give it a rewatch.

Great interview, thank you.

watched the dirties after this. undiscovered masterpiece. so glad i heard of it.

Great interview, Adam. Matt pushing the boundaries of what is legal to film sounds interesting. I hope it does become a new norm in the industry, at least among no/low budget movies.

I like this guy and i'm really looking forward to his future stuff.

I am really looking forward to watching both of these movies!

great interview adam!

Adam is a really good interviewer. I didn't know anything about this filmmaker or movies and I was still very interested

OH SHIT WHADDUP CUCKBAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!

NO WAY. I loved the Dirties, and loved Matt Johnson in it. Good to hear he's directing more films.

Brilliant ! Very interesting and inspiring. Great work keep it up.

OH SHIT WHADDUP CUCKBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOY

stuckmann led me to your channel - this was the 1st video i chose because i too love johnson - someone give this guy a decent budget

Before watching, just watched The Dirties like two weeks ago. Very good timing.

this interview was so good

I love your interviews- Matt seems like such an ambitious film maker, his innovative ways to work within a small budget were apparent from the dirties but I'm curious about his new work and what he could do with a higher funded project.

When I see Adam I said out loud "dar he is"

This video is the epoch of gay.

OMG I JUST WATCHED THE DIRTIES. My mouth was dropped no joke for like 2 minutes.

.this legitimentally inspired me and really made my whole, thank you

That bit of advice at the end. Really makes me want to finish editing my little film.

I really enjoyed The Dirties. The foley bird sound interspersed throughout the movie was great.

really great enterview awessome director i cant wait to see the movie

Great interview, will definitely check out his latest work, when it comes around. Actually learned stuff and got motivated. Thanks adam

Just watched OA without knowing anything about it, and just loved it. What a gem of a movie.

Great interview

holy shit this is better than the dnc leaks

This guy Matt Johnson is super passionate. I dig it

Nice just watched the Dirties the other day.

Yay ZOOM recorder! Those things are magical in how easy they make interviews in terms of sound.

I really love how the camera operator was stood on a boat while he filmed you haha it really makes me seas-URRRK

Awesome! I loved the Dirties.

This was a really interesting interview, I'll have to check his stuff out.

The Dirties is such an iconic film. I'm so in love with it and its portrayal of mental illness without being too preachy. I'm so excited to get Operation Avalanche on DVD.

YES can't wait!

I love this guy.

This was interesting to watch.

I saw this film at the Dallas International Film Festival and it was incredible.

Owen, its me

Your hair is always on point

In short: Never fear failure

We need more filmmakers like him

Dang, this was sick!

HOLY FUCK IM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS
