Fifteen Minutes With Orian Williams, producer of Control, England Is Mine, True To You and fan of The Smiths - Julie Hamill
Excerpt:
'I guess it’s strange that I’m working on two films about Morrissey. I’m doing True To You because of Adam. I met him and I was like, ‘Oh my God I really like this guy. What he’s got is really cool. He’s genuine. It’s so far a lovely film that crosses many borders and touches on things Adam didn’t expect to surface when he started the film.’
To this day, Williams finds himself repeatedly inspired by the video for The Smiths’ ‘How Soon Is Now’ which he first watched over and over in Houston’s Numbers nightclub during his late teens. He cites HSIN as a turning point in his life and a constant reference to his style of production: ‘There’s something about that [How Soon Is Now] atmosphere that lingers into everything I do. The aesthetic of it, the dirt of it all… that cruddy, layered and haunting imagery.’
He is a dedicated Smiths/Morrissey fan, likes Iced Tea and his favourite movie is Blade Runner. He still has a phone number that Morrissey gave him written on the page of a car manual in his apartment (but he won’t let me see it).
Another interesting interview by Julie.
Regardless of reaction to the movie, he is definitely a fan.
His up and coming fan documentary will be interesting.

FWD.
