AUDIO INTERVIEWS! LA FILM FEST FAVORITE - THE BOY'S AND GIRL'S GUIDE TO GETTING DOWN
Interviews with the director Paul Sapiano, exec. producer Enrique Aguirre, Dirty Vegas (Grammey Winner), and graphics guru Larimie Garcia.
Dirty Vegas is as big and bold in our interview as you might imagine. If you've grooved to their music, you'll know what I mean. The unforgettable moment at the Grammys, "When South London trio Dirty Vegas won the Grammy for Best Dance Single last year the cameras panned across Robert de Niro, Aretha Franklin, Simon and Garfunkel and Stevie Wonder in the front rows to reveal...three empty seats. The boys, of course, were in the bar. It's not that they didn't respect America's most prestigious music award, more that despite three nominations, it never occurred to them that they might win. "We were on the sauce all day," explains singer Steve Smith, "and they wouldn't let us take our drinks to the seats." LISTEN IN.
