WATCH: Filmmaker Kat Candler talks Aaron Paul & “Hellion”

By Meredith Alloway · January 24, 2014

Texas writer and director Kat Candler delivers an incredible story of youth, brotherhood and loss in "Hellion." The film's main subject is Jacob (Josh Wiggins), a heavy-metal, motocross loving 13-yr-old. But his pranks aren't all play and are rooted in the loss of his mother and frustration with his father Hollis (Aaron Paul). When his younger brother Wes (Deke Garner) is taken away by CPS, Jacob is put in compromising situations that test both his maturity and his morals. Candler chats with ATW about working with Paul, a cast of kids and why the American youth is so angry.
