Since writing his first feature film, Wise Guys (1986), he has been involved in a number of successful movies including Golden Globe nominated Midnight Run (1988), and Bad Boys (1995). His most recent film, Vanquish (2021), follows a former drug courier played by Ruby Rose (Orange is the New Black) as she is forced back into a dangerous criminal underworld by a corrupt cop played by Morgan Freeman (Shawshank Redemption) in order to save her daughter. In this fascinating interview with Richard Williams and Aiysha Jebali, director George Gallo discusses how the two worlds of filmmaking and painting intersect, what it's like to work alongside Morgan Freeman, and how hurricanes and the Covid 19 situation halted the filming of Vanquish (2021). He also gives advice to aspiring filmmakers on the importance of having fun while making a film and allowing the film to exist without you. Written by
