SXSW 2010 Video Interview: Steve Hicks (AMERICAN: THE BILL HICKS STORY)

This was a really unexpected experience for me. After my interview with the directors of AMERICAN: THE BILL HICKS STORY (which you can watch HERE), I was chatting with director Paul Thomas about Bill Hicks. He mentioned that he was impressed that I was such a fan of Hicks (maybe because of my age) and said he wanted to set me up with Bill’s brother Steve, who was also at the restaurant. It turned out that Steve came to SXSW along with Hicks’ mother in support of the documentary.

As I sat down with Steve, I admitted to him that I wasn’t expecting this interview, and that I was completely unprepared for it. So I asked him if he just would talk about Bill, and the effect the making of the film had on his family. He graciously agreed and the following interview happened. You can check it out after the jump!
