Running a series of interviews with SXSW Emerging Visions filmmakers, Spout Blog speaks with Present Company helmer Frank V. Ross. Following is an excerpt:

Let’s get hypothetical: You’re on death row. The night of your execution, you’re allowed to watch any two films of your choice. What would you pick for your last-night-on-Earth double feature?
