INTERVIEW - "Greyhound" Director Aaron Schneider

Apple TV+

Apple TV+ has released their biggest movie swing yet with the truly epic and sweeping World War II drama Greyhound. Written by and staring Tom Hanks, this film tells the tale of an American battleship as it attempts to escort a much needed fleet of supply ships across the Atlantic. As the fleet loses air cover in the area known as The Pit, a German U-Boat fleet arrives and starts a deadly chase for survival. We were honored to be able to talk with the director of this fantastic film Mr. Aaron Schneider. We talk about his roots in Springfield and central Illinois, his career (which includes and Academy Award!) and directing the incomparable Tom Hanks.

FEATURING: Jay Hoffman, Jeremy Goeckner & Craig McFarland
