Anthony La Pira

Welcome to Cyberpunk Cinema – the Definitive Dive into the Dark Future of Science Fiction. I am your host, Anthony La Pira, and I will be taking you on a cinematic journey through the sprawling cityscapes, the crippling datastorms, and the cybernetic implants that encompass all things Cyberpunk.

In this week’s episode, I will be speaking to a very SPECIAL GUEST – Iain Softley, the director of Hackers! Iain was gracious enough to come on the show and discuss his 1995 cult-classic cyberpunk film. We get DEEP into the behind the scenes elements of making Hackers – from director's choices, to costumes, sound design, etc. It’s a fun ride into what it takes to make a film. We also delve into Iain’s initial spark to become a filmmaker with a perfect storm of influences during his formative years – from 60/70s rock/roll, to French New Wave, to New Hollywood 

So, do me a favor – it’s time to access your cranial jacks, boot up your Ono-Sendai Cyberspace 7, and slap on your damn mirror-shades. You know what time it is! Cyberpunk Cinema starts…now!
