Known as the "King of the B Movies," the legendary filmmaker Roger Corman died on May 9 at the age of 98.
Corman specialized in making low-budget genre movies with titles like "The Wasp Woman," "Attack of the Crab Monsters," and "Teenage Caveman."
Corman hired these directors in the early stages of their careers to helm low-budget features that the filmmakers have acknowledged as learning experiences they applied in their later larger-scale productions.
In fact, many of these directors hired Corman in small acting roles in movies like "The Godfather Part II," (Coppola), "The Silence of the Lambs" (Demme), and "Apollo 13" (Ron Howard).
In the interview, Corman shares myriad lessons learned while working in the film industry for more than 60 years.
