Grim Prairie Tales (1990)
1993 • E16 Aug 1, 1993
Grim Prairie Tales was made on a shoestring budget in the Mojave Desert in 1990. The writer/director, Wayne Coe, was an illustrator who designed the American campaigns for Out of Africa, Brazil and Back to the Future before deciding that he wanted to get involved behind the lens. He gives us an excellent example of why writer/directors shouldn’t be allowed to talk about their aspirations or their films.
