“Be nice, be professional and work your ass off.” That’s what Hellion writer/director tells her film students, as revealed in an interview with Film Independent. I guess that’s why she’s got a buzzworthy film headed for national release, and I don’t. When I went to film school I remember the three things my instructors taught me were:

2. Get on a reality show.
3. Blackmail Joel Silver.
In the interview, Kat talks about her process, the challenges she faced, and her all-star producer team. Check it out. Also, if you have any dirt on Joel Silver, let’s meet up.
