In The Seats with... - A podcast by David Voigt

When you go digging in the vault you can often find something wonderful....On this episode we're curling up with some forgotten Canadiana which is available on demand as we speak at Hollywood Suite (and on a limited run Blu-Ray from Gold Ninja Video) it's time for 'Skip Tracer'.John Collins (David Petersen) is the best "skip tracer" in the business. You miss a payment and he'll take your car. Beg for more time and he'll empty your house. In fact Collins is so good at his job that he's already well on his way to clinching the Man of the Year award at his firm for the fourth year in a row. There's just one more account that he needs to close, it's his white whale, his 'Moby Dick' and he'll do anything....and we mean ANYTHING to get it all wrapped up.A dirty and gritty little film that managed to stay alive through a small cult following has gotten this out of the vaults and back into our hearts.We had the unique pleasure of sitting down with writer/director Zale Dalen about bringing this movie back from the dead, resurrecting a passion project that never saw the light of day, the validation of this having this film get to brand new audiences 45 years later and so very much more.
