Interview: Director Ben Lewis talks ‘Chancers’

Chancers: The Great Gangster Film Fraud tells the story of former criminal-turned-film-director, Paul Knight, who thought years of going straight had finally paid off, when a couple of producers asked him to direct a big budget British gangster movie A Landscape of Lies. But Paul ended up working for the biggest crooks he’d ever met – and not the smartest ones either….

Nerdly writer and host of the Britflicks podcast, Stuart Wright, talks to director Ben Lewis about what he discovered while making Chancers. If you haven’t seen the film/doc yet, it is available on iPlayer for UK residents at www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06yrf2t
