INTERVIEW: John Krokidas – Kill Your Darlings

<p>Kill Your Darlings follows Alan Ginsberg and the so-called ‘Beat Poets’ during their years at Columbia University in the early 1940’s. Bored and dissatisfied by the old views of the university, Alan is quickly taken in by fellow student Lucien Carr, who seems hell-bent on destroying the old and creating something new. Along with William S. Burroughs and Jack Kerouac, the group explores new ideas that would go on to be one of the greatest American literature movements of the century. As the group explores love, lust, sex, and drugs, events unfold that would ultimately change their lives forever. We spoke recently with John Krokidas, co-writer and director of Kill Your Darlings.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thegayuk.com/AaronHolloway">By Aaron Holloway</a> | 29th April 2014</p><p></p><p> </p><p><img src="http://www.thegayuk.com/communities/8/004/009/928/388/images/4609158193.jpg" width="459" height="338" alt="John Krokidas with Daniel Radcliffe at Sundance" title="John Krokidas with Daniel Radcliffe at Sundance"/></p> <p></p><p> </p><p><a href="http://www.thegayuk.com/magazine/4574334751/INTERVIEW-John-Krokidas---Kill-Your-Darlings/8025749">Read More</a></p>
