Episode 022: Musician Filmmakers
Welcome to this episode of the FilmJerk Podcast, which covers a wide variety of aspects of 1980s cinema. Sometimes we’ll cover a specific film, or a specific filmmaker’s career during the decade, or one of the many film distributors (completely independent or studio dependent) that popped up and/or flamed out during the decade. In today's episode, we take a look at the debut films of five filmmakers who got their start as musicians: Forbidden Zone (Richard Elfman, March 1982) Home of the Brave (Laurie Anderson, April 1986) True Stories (David Byrne, October 1986) Under the Cherry Moon (Prince, July 1986) Yentl (Barbra Streisand, December 1983)
