Eric Nelson is the writer/director of the 2006 film "Pirates of the Great Salt Lake". He brought along Kirby Heyborne aka "Captain Kirk" to tell us the story of how their quirky little pirate film got made back when the whole Pirates of the Caribbean thing was heating up.
It's a great story about bootstrapping a film and the highs and lows of its release. We'll also find out what the guys are doing now.
Pick up a copy of the film here.
