"Weiler is an old-school media manipulator for the new media age, a post-modern P.T. Barnum. I've managed to catch half an hour with him on the phone, delayed a week because he was traveling to LA for a 'mash-up' screening of Head Trauma. Next week he's off to London. After that it's back to work on the script for his next film ("it's in the horror genre, very visceral - Lord of the Flies meets 28 Days Later") and negotiating a deal for his new television series, which he can't tell me about - yet.
"'I kind of have a full plate,' he says - the understatement of the year."
Russ Pitts speaks to filmmaker and ARG creator Lance Weiler.
