What do you do when you are five minutes into writing a 20-minute film and realize that your joke has run its course? You figure out a way to write yourself out of the corner and bust through the cliché. No stranger to Getting Work To Work, gough is an Australian filmmaker on the show to share his latest work: The Melanie Holden Interview, a new episode in his long-running mock interview series. In this conversation, gough shares the funny qualities of truth, the comedy found in drama, how his characters speak to him while writing, the best character names ever, movies that hold up, comedians making him laugh, and most importantly, conspiracy theories. He even shares a public service announcement about why lying is wrong.
