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.

Well I mean, he's no Neil Breen...

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

Whats more disingenuous is telling someone that something is not their favorite ting when you don't even know that person...

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.

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.

That last answer, that was some life changing advice

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

This is the most perfect video to ever exist.

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.

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

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

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.

EXTREMELY inspiring. Thank you!

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!

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

ive waited for this for so long omg.

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.

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.

Thank you for a great interview

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.

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

I have a crush on Matt Johnson

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

Great interview, thank you.

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

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

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 love how laid back your interviews are.

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.

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

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 am really looking forward to watching both of these movies!

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

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

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.

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

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

great interview adam!

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

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

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

wow great job! keep it up proud of you

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

this interview was so good

This is a really fascinating interview

man i love this guy. inspiring.

oh shit wadup cuc bboooooooooooiiiiiiiii!!!!!

YES can't wait!

Wait, he survived that school shooting?

I feel too much sexual tension between these guys.

great video Adam!

Great interview! I wonder if Matt ever saw Wiliam Karel's `Operation Lune´ from 2002. Its worth a watch

This video is the epoch of gay.

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

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

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

Awesome! I loved the Dirties.

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

Awesome interview

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.

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.

This guy Matt Johnson is super passionate. I dig it

The abundance of "aboot"s is destroying my sides. Too many canadians for one video.

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

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.

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

Great interview

This was interesting to watch.

Nice just watched the Dirties the other day.

great interview

I love this guy.

HOLY FUCK IM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS

Dang, this was sick!

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

That's aweeeeesome

Operation Avalanche was freaking amazing. Matt Johnson is super talented

YES

Your hair is always on point

This guy's one of the most innovate people iv'e seen all year

definitely your best interview, matt is a great "guest"

Oh my fuck. This is fucking amazing.

Matt Johnson is awesome.

OH SHIT WHADDUP CUCKBAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!

pretty interesting interview just for creative people in general. this is pretty great.

holy shit this is better than the dnc leaks

We need more filmmakers like him

Just ordered a copy of The Dirties
