Mark Lakatos is back on the podcast chatting about his feature film, THE SIEGE 2, the sequel to his original film, THE SIEGE, that also played at the ACTION/ADVENTURE Film Festival.

Conversation with Mark about the making of the film on a low-budget and working with non-actors while performing stunts.

Director Statement

'The Siege 2' is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity. It chronicles a series of major events after the first chapter that feel connected in such a strong manner. It also has some fascinating new characters and bigger, meaner action scenes. It expands on this world in ways we never thought possible and pushes the boundaries of what is possible for independently produced low-budget films.
