My guest today is Toronto based production designer and director David Hackl. David is probably most well-known for his work on the SAW franchise of movies, but he has many other credits to his name as well. He started his career on the set of a music video for Kim Mitchell, before he began building his reputation as a terrific Art Director and Production Designer. Today we’re going to talk about where he got his start, how he got drawn into the horror genre, and how the horror film business works. We’ll also discuss his films, past, present, and future, what it’s like to work with Bart the Bear, and the film industry in Canada in general. The music for the podcast has been graciously provided by Toronto’s own, Modus Factor. The music is from their new album The Picasso Zone which can be purchased on iTunes or at www.chrislesso.com Previous episodes can be found on iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play Music, or else at our website, http://thisismytoronto.com.
