Enjoy our interview with him below, and see to it to addThe Last Narcto your watch list.
TILLER RUSSELL: I was a crime reporter for the newspaper before I got into filmmaking.
I always loved Hollywood, but I was a kid in Dallas, Texas with no access to it.
which was the greatest moment of my life at that point, and we had a wonderful evening together.
And I literally quit my job the next day.
The cardinal rule that I have is, “there will never be any bullshit.”

So it starts with that.
“Maybe it’s this, maybe it’s that, maybe we pull this one into here.”
So that’s kind of the architecture and structural enterprise, particularly in the edit.

So my heart is with Hector.
I thought, ‘this is going to be a wild one!’
What’s the key to dealing with an interview subject like Jorge, who has a volatile personality?

How do you keep them focused on the topic at hand?
RUSSELL: To me, there’s a fundamental enterprise.
And then it’s about being totally open to receiving and listening.
With Jorge, I literally, probably, asked one question, and two hours went by.
Who do you think took the biggest risk in all of this?
RUSSELL: Everybody but me, although I’m still scared, to be honest.
All of these people literally risked their lives, and in Kiki’s case, gave it up.
Do you think that you’re attracted to stories that require some kind of risk-taking element on your behalf?
Are you afraid the cartel will watch this series and come after you or the guys in it?
Are you thinking of beefing up your own security?
RUSSELL: You know, it’s definitely something that keeps me awake at night.
Honestly, I’m very careful, but I’m scared.
It’s a heavy one.
Can you speak to that claim or the delay in general?
So the CIA didn’t have any input?
RUSSELL: The CIA has nothing to do with Amazon and the delay, that was on us.
What’s the current status ofSilk Road?
Does it have distribution or a release date yet?
Then the movie will be right after that.
I can’t divulge the details because the deal is still being closed.
Any update onTheSeven Fivemovie?
Is there anybody you’d like to see cast in that movie?
That’s how the casting went on Silk Road.
He’s earned my loyalty forever.
RUSSELL: I like to go back and forth.
My compass doesn’t point to north it points to crime, I guess.
