In this KALX interview with Greg Scharpen, filmmaker Gibbs Chapman discusses his inspiration for Mother Mortar, Father Pestle, a “film about the fallibility of perspective,” screening in our Alternative Visions series on Wednesday, October 26. Chapman discusses the effect of his experiences in San Francisco’s Mission district on the music and imagery in the movie, the eighteenth-month photography period and other obstacles in the filmmaking process, his personal views on experimentation in film, and more. This is an interview rich with the filmmaker’s perspective and motivation for creating his art.
