My conversation with independent director, Mark Pirro continues. We talk about his new movie, The Deceased Won't Desist, censorship, streaming media vs. physical media, and why Blockbuster sucked. Mark also discusses why it pays to be nice, and why he has chosen to stay in the trenches of independence. Also, Submissive Jesus! You can find Mark and his movies, including his latest release, The Deceased Won't Desist, at Pirromount Pictures.
Mark Pirro knew at an early age that he wanted to make movies. Starting with his dad's Super 8 camera and a cadre of recruited high school friends, he started making vampire movies and James Bond homages. After moving our west, he continued making Super 8 films, eventually selling A Polish Vampire in Burbank to the USA Network, making it one of the highest grossing independent movies of all time. He has had one of the longest running careers as an independent filmmaker and we talk about how he managed to do that, among many other things. This is just part one, and we barely scratch the surface of his early life and fascinating career. You can find Mark and his movies, including his latest release, The Deceased Won't Desist, at Pirromount Pictures.

INTERVIEW BEGINS AT: 30:15 .If ever there was a true Indie film legend it would have to be Mark Pirro. where as most "Independent" films are far from independent, Mark Pirro is exactly that (with very few exceptions). In 1983 Mark burst onto the scene with A Polish Vampire in Burbank, with an estimated budget of $2500, he became a cult icon, the film went on to be featured on Cable, sold on video and was even one of Commander USA's Groovy Movies, earning more than half a million dollars along the way. Mark followed this up with films including Death Row Gameshow, Curse of the Queerwolf, Nudist Colony of the Dead, Late night cable cult film Buford's Beach Bunnies, Rectuma, Rage of Innocence, Celluloid Soul, The God Complex and his soon to be released The Deceased Won't Desist! His films have been comedy, parody, drama, borderline horror but always amazing and all with the unmistakable touch of Pirro magic he brings to all projects. Mark will discuss how someone can maintain true independent status over a Hollywood career spanning 5 decades, and what the future holds in store for both himself, and other indie filmmakers, many of which were inspired by this one of a kind Indie Film Maestro Check out his website at pirromount.com and BUY AND WATCH HIS FILMS!!!!!
