Adam Rehmeier- Hot Seat Interview- Carolina Caroline

When you look at the filmography of director Adam Rehmeier, you can instantly see that this is a filmmaker who knows how to command a set and foster a collaborative environment. His previous films, Dinner in America and Snack Shack, tell stories about different types of families, ones that are created through friendship, some through kidnapping, or just two lovers on the run from the law. It's not your typical version of how a family comes together, but it certainly paints a picture of America and how we all arrive from different corners of life. The Nebraska City, Nebraska, native has already become an expert in storytelling, switching up genres, crafting sharp satires of the suburban lifestyle, and reimagining Bonnie & Clyde with his new film Carolina Caroline. Having Adam on the Hot Seat was an instant delight, and I understand why great actors such as Kyle Gallner, Samara Weaving, and Kyra Sedgwick have all praised working with the director. We talk about his love for David Lynch's Eraserhead, how Dinner in America became the hit that it is, and how Carolina Caroline was a chance for him to grow as a director. Watch it now:
