There are some who believe Mickey Keating to be one of our most talented up-and-coming directors.
He is certainly among the most prolific.
But thats not all.
Carnage Parkis my total love letter to Peckinpah, andDeliverance, and 70s survival movies, he says.
Its set in 1978 and its a crime story [which] turns into a fight for survival.
Its hard to categorize in a way, because its an energetic crime movie that goes horribly horribly awry.
I think its going to be something different for people.
Fortunately, she said, Yes.'
Its very much everything we set out to do, he says.
But we definitely didnt want to make something which is strictly about the violence.
It was really important to me, first and foremost, to establish the characters.
This movie is about the people as opposed to just the extreme circumstances they inhabit.
Keating is currently prepping his next film, which he hopes to start shooting in the next few months.
Its going to be a sprawling, ensemble serial killers movie, he explains.
Does he ever take a vacation?
No, man, he laughs.
Its funny, its like [making films]ismy vacation.
Its all the stuff in between that feels like work.
That to me is work.
When Im making movies, Im just in utter bliss.
