Half Hour With: The Singers (Sam Davis)

Half Hour With: The Singers Sam Davis (Director/Producer) Pete Hammond, Chief Film Critic, Deadline THE SINGERS is about a pub full of downtrodden patrons who form an unlikely bond through an impromptu sing-off. Featuring a cast made up entirely of non-actors discovered in the most unexpected corners of the internet, the film is a heartfelt love letter to underdogs — and a reminder that you can’t judge a book by its cover. Oscar-nominated filmmaker Sam Davis discusses adapting the story from a 19th-century short, his unconventional casting process, and why its themes resonate so strongly today.
