I found a pretty sweet Richard Linklater interview on The A.V. Club. He's a really swell director who has recently become known from shifting back and forth from doing studio movies and smaller budget films. He's an independent film pioneer having made the film Slacker, a film that sparked the creative minds of amatures who become some of the better known filmmakers of today. Linklater's films include the studio films (Bad News Bears, School of Rock) and smaller budget ones (Dazed and Confused, Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, Tape, and Waking Life). The interview was conducted at the Cannes Film Festival of 2006 where he premiered A Scanner Darkly and Fast Food Nation.
