Weekender Interview | Zack Snyder

February 14

In 2005, Robert Rodriguez's "Sin City" opened America's eyes to new creative possibilities of how to put a graphic novel on the big screen.

In a short amount of time, the band has gone on tour, recorded two albums and gotten signed to a well respected indie label, all from the comfort of their dorm rooms and during winter vacation.
