Morgan Spurlock’s 30 DAYS on FXIn last week’s podcast, I spoke with Mike Luciano about the new Morgan Spurlock series 30 DAYS on FX. Morgan Spurlock is, in my opinion, the classic Sundance Success Story.
Spurlock made an engrossing, informative, entertaining documentary with virtually no money. He was smart about the topic of his documentary. Using his body as a (relatively) scientific laboratory, he ate nothing but McDonald’s for 30 days. The success of that film and the formula he used led to his own series on FX. Now, a mainstream producer/director, Spurlock has parlayed his skill and savvy into his own series.
Like Angela Robinson (who made the transition with Disney’s HERBIE, FULLY LOADED) and Jared Hess (who was featured in Vanity Fair as one of the hot new directors), Spurlock is living the cinema dream.
