To celebrate the release of a new Australian outback thriller THE ROYAL HOTEL, I talk with writer/director Kitty Green about the differences between narrative and documentary cinema, the balance of time and style, Julia Garner choosing her own own love interest, and so much more.

Synopsis: US backpackers Hanna and Liv take a job in a remote Australian pub for some extra cash. They are confronted with a bunch of unruly locals and a situation that grows rapidly out of their control.
