But we've been having some really great press, and we've been doing some fun interviews, which keeps us excited about it. But after a week, it was like, okay, there's some real s*** going down, and that kind of took the focus away. John: The first week really really sucked. So, what's been going through your mind with the cancellation of SXSW? It's some real Walking Dead apocalypse s***. John: I'm driving back from South by Southwest. Okay, "apocalyptic highway" might a little dramatic, but these are dramatic times. Brandon spoke to us from his home in New Jersey, while John phoned in from his car, driving across an apocalyptic highway from Texas to Connecticut. Nevertheless, Screen Rant got the chance to speak to directors LaGanke and Carlucci, who discussed their work on the film and the atypical circumstances surrounding its status as a high-profile indie that has yet to secure a distribution deal. Still, the directors are optimistic at their prospects, and – having seen the film – so are we.ĭrunk Bus is currently without a release date, and technically hasn't even had its world premiere yet ( it was supposed to happen at SXSW), so the context for this interview was unique compared to how these things normally happen. The film's future is somewhat up in the air, as the filmmakers and investors must now seek distribution deals without the shoulder-rubbing of a globally-known festival like SXSW. Originally scheduled to make its grand debut at South by Southwest, the film's future was put on hold following the cancellation of the festival in the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic which continues to ravage the world and the entertainment industry. The feature debut from directors Brandon LaGanke and John Carlucci, Drunk Bus is loosely based on Brandon's own experience as a bus driver during his college years.
