Ramin Bahrani (2nd Chance)

Ramin Bahrani (2nd Chance)

Narrative director Ramin Bahrani – best known for The White Tiger, Fahrenheit 451, and 99 Homes – speaks to Tiller today about his debut documentary feature entitled “2nd Chance”, a brilliantly inquisitive film about the inventor of the bullet proof vest, who shot himself in the chest 196 times. A self-made mythical figure with an allergy to accountability, Richard Davis’s hilarious yet heartbreaking story is a particularly American one, as Bahrani puts it. During their discussion: Ramin reflects on: His personal journey to taking on this film (2:40) Extracting truth from a sociopath (10:30) The invaluable note from EP Joshua Oppenheimer (19:23) Influences on his voice-over script (25:04) The powerful final scene (30:55) Ending the film with Richard shooting himself over and over (37:20)
