Interview: Michael Clowater (Filmmaker: “Drive Back Home”)

Film allows us to capture and recreate imagined moments of history, both personal and profound.

My guest today is filmmaker Michael Clowater, who wrote and directed his first feature film Drive Back Home, which is the selection for the Opening Night Gala of the Silver Wave Film Festival. He joins me to talk about his journey and experience of commercial filmmaking, and the story from his youth which inspired this movie to be made.

Drive Back Home will be shown at the Opening Gala of the Silver Wave Film Festival at 7pm on November 7 in the Auditorium of Tilley Hall at UNB Campus, and then available briefly as part of the digital online offerings for the festival. It should be distributed in theatres and available online later this year as well.
