An interview setting as isolated and exotic as Mexico's Los Cabos Film Festival often means you're sitting down with talent in more comfortable, candid moods. Perched on a terrace overlooking the Pacific, I chatted with a relaxed Alex Ross Perry, joined by his trusted celluloid DP Sean Price Williams. The budding November festival and industry hangout gave the filmmaker the retrospective Spotlight treatment. Perry knows it takes thick skin to break into Hollywood when you're a young New York indie far flung from the world of the studios.
