Episode #64 | Josh Reed

Cinema Australia

Director Josh Reed joins the Cinema Australia Podcast to discuss his tense, claustrophobic drama, We're Not Here to Fuck Spiders. Reed describes Spiders as found footage noir. The film is set in a drug dealers house, and is constructed from found surveillance footage. There’s not much we can tell you about the story without giving too much away, but it’s certainly not for the faint-hearted. The film builds up to one hell of a final act as different characters who frequent the house begin to reveal themselves. Here, Josh discusses his film with great depth, including why he decided not he title, the risks of making such a hardcore film in Australia, and why he may never make another film again. Josh is also the son of Long Weekend and Fantasm Comes Again director Colin Eggleston which he talks about.
