Mike talks about how bad experiences in the Hollywood studio system led to his decision to make Leaving Las Vegas. The film was made with a small budget and crew, from a book that he thought was unadaptable at first read.
He talks to writer Josh Karp about what drove him to independent cinema and how the classic movie came together.
