#LRFF2011 - Interview with Jeff Nichols Director of Take Shelter

At the Little Rock Film Festival this weekend we had the honor and opportunity to interview director Jeff Nichols.  He came to the festival to show his first feature Shotgun Stories, do a Q & A with local film critic Phillip Martin, and then show the first 4 minutes of his latest film Take Shelter.  It just won the Grand Prix at Critics Week at the Cannes Festival.  It was the only American film accepted into Critics Week and in it's 50 years he is only the 4th American to take this award.  Even with these accolades he is nothing but humble and down to earth.  Check it out below and click here to see the trailer for Take Shelter.  Also, Mallory wants to become the president of the Jeff Nichols fan club because she couldn't get over how down to earth he is.
