Bart Layton- Hot Seat Interview- Director- Crime 101

Bart Layton understands how to get into the mind of a criminal. The director from London, England, has a passion for crime thrillers, and his first three films- The Imposter, American Animals, and now Crime 101– are all about people committing crimes and what drives them to those actions. What is abundantly clear is that Layton knows how to thrill an audience. His newest film, Crime 101, focuses on a collection of flawed characters, with Chris Hemsworth as a money & jewel thief who can’t seem to know when to quit. I was so excited to have Layton on the Hot Seat this week. We talk about how The Sting gave him the bug to direct, his relationship with Hemsworth, and the pressure of setting a heist movie in Los Angeles. Watch it here:
