Director Neil Huxley joins MG to talk about a personal favorite: the powerful under-the-radar indie Dead Man's Shoes, written and starring Paddy Considine from The World's End and Peaky Blinders, and directed by Shane Meadows of This is England. Family, regret, violence, and brotherhood are all examined in this story of a military man who has returned home to confront the crew of low-rent criminals who abused his brother -  but while the setup may seem familiar, nothing plays out the way you expect it to, and what at first seems like straightforward vengeance plotline slowly evolves something much deeper and more meaningful!

Episode 025: Dead Man's Shoes with Neil Huxley

Chris’s guest this week is Neil Huxley, a director whose story is worthy of its own movie. Early exposure to The Terminator inspired Neil to follow a career in the film industry but fighting back against bullies at his South London school almost lead him off the rails, until his bouncer-artist dad intervened. In a spectacular comeback, Neil studied multimedia at university and graduated with a first-class honors degree thanks to his short film. Recorded ahead of his talk at THU, Neil recounts how his career has taken him through title design for movies such as Watchmen and Gamer, creating holographic displays for Avatar and on to Digital Domain offshoot Mothership and then production company Ruffian to direct spectacular and well-received videogame cinematics, including an epic interactive trailer for Middle-earth: Shadow of War. Now, Neil plans to make a feature film that will take him back to the South London locales where his tale began.
