How is Curtis Snow handling the attention the movie is getting? We always had to stay one step ahead of the police.Дirector Damon Russell: The movie was shot over the course of a year and a half. Most times weвЂ™d shoot a scene and weвЂ™d leave immediately. We were pulled over and searched dozens of times. I respect what they do, but if you are poor and in the hood a different set of rules apply to you. We had lots of nice people who worked really hard on the movie. How hard was it shooting on location in West Atlanta?Дirector Damon Russell: Overall it was great. When I saw that I decided that we could make a good movie. The other stuff of Curt and his crew playing with pistols was great, but that scene of Curtis and baby was really moving and gave me a glimpse into the real Curtis beyond the gangster persona. What was the first clip the director/producer saw?Дirector Damon Russell: Believe it or not the first thing that I saw in the footage that made me really think there was a movie there was a scene that Pancho shot with Curtis and his baby. I read that the idea for movie was sparked by footage Curtis Snow initially shot by himself. WeвЂ™ve since deleted all of the other extra footage that is not in the film. But to avoid future legal action weвЂ™ve been advised by our counsel to never divulge what is real and what is not. Ultimately, we convinced him that it was just a movie. He had gotten a hold of a bootleg copy of the first 40 minutes of the film and he thought Curtis and his crew were involved. He was investigating a string of home invasion robberies on the West side. A few months before we premiered the movie I got a call from a detective from the Atlanta Police Department. What made you decide to use the documentary style? Everybody I showed the trailer to was convinced it is a legitimate straight up documentary and that everything was a 100% real.Дirector Damon Russell: The main reason is we have to protect ourselves and everyone in the film.

The first thing I gotta ask: The way you chose to present this story for Snow On Tha Bluff.

I got to chop it up with the makers of Snow On Tha Bluff, Damon Russell (Director) & Chris Knittel (Producer). Even after finding out that Snow On Tha Bluff isnвЂ™t a documentary, you still have to applaud the makers of the film for bringing that kind of realism through the screen. ThatвЂ™s how raw the footage was to me, I thought Snow On Tha Bluff was about a thug documenting true life events around West Atlanta.

Okay actually first I wondered if Curtis Snow, the guy robbing the car full college kids, was currently in jail. When I first saw the trailer for the movie Snow On Tha Bluff, I was intrigued.
