Description

Bing Liu exploded onto the scene in 2018 with his Academy-award nominated documentary “Minding the Gap”, an extraordinary portrait of three young men (himself included) as they bond through skateboarding to escape their volatile family life in their Rust Belt home town. As they face adult responsibilities, unexpected revelations threaten their decade-long friendship. In today’s episode, Bing chats with Tiller about the origin and evolution of “Minding the Gap” (1:28), his editor Josh Altman’s invaluable perspective (7:34), braiding together individual storylines (14:00), exploring the topic of race through Kiere’s eyes (18:00), working with his composer (25:32), the evolution of a healthy soul (30:33), and the meaning behind the final track of the film (37:50).
