Interview: Screenwriter Robert Malkani (Day Zero)

- "I just hope the film finds an audience among young people (in their twenties). It’s easy for a film like this to get lost amid all the bigger films – or the festival winners – but I think that if people find the film, they will be surprised at how it makes them feel – and I think they will enjoy it". - Producer and screenwriter Robert Malkani The recent handful of Iraq-war themed films–such as In the Valley of Elah and Redacted have done poorly at the box-office. The same thing happened in the 70's while filmmakers were releasing Vietnam movies such as Apocalypse Now. Why do you think that audiences are shying away from war-themed films?I can’t speak intelligently about what happened to those films in the 70’s, but today I think it’s because people go to the movies primarily to be entertained – not educated. »
