Operation Avalanche Interview
One might think movies about Apollo 11 landing on the moon in the 1960s could 1) be extremely expensive to produce (Ed. note: Because recreating realistic space stuff ain’t cheap) and 2) have been done way too many times before. Operation Avalanche, however, is the first narrative, quasi– documentary that tackles both obstacles with a new, innovative twist: Secretly filming a movie inside of NASA about NASA scientists of the 1960s secretly filming a fake moon landing. Street spoke to director/actor Matt Johnson and producer Matt Miller about Operation Avalanche and their controversial filming tactics.
