Sweetwater is a biopic about legendary basketball player Nat ‘Sweetwater’ Clifton, and to mark its release we had the pleasure in interviewing some of the movie’s key players. Of course one of which was the leading star Everett Osborne who plays the eponymous lead role, as he talks about getting into the mind and body of one of the sport’s most iconic and important players.
We also speak to star of the screen Cary Elwes as he talks about his relationship with the sport but also his fledging relationship with filmmaker Guy Ritchie, looking across the projects he has been sharing with the British director. Finally, we interviewed Martin Guigui, the man at the helm, as he talks about this story and what inspired him to tell it, while we also get onto the subject of music, and hands (it’ll make sense when you watch it). All three interviews are presented in their entirety below.
