I Interviewed "EarthBound, USA" Producer Aaron Cargile
An interview with EarthBound, USA producer Aaron Cargile! EarthBound, USA will be publicly available on November 27th, 2023, but I had the chance to see an exclusive early screening & speak with the movie's archival producer. We talk copyright & fair use (in YouTube and in film), Fangamer, and the EarthBound fandom!
NOTE: Aaron Cargile’s opinions are his own, and not necessarily representative of Fangamer.
Also, just my lines in this interview are re-recorded, largely due to an error with the source audio. Though mainly read from a script, I tried to approximate the original diction & intent.
