Ep. 21: Russ Fega at Sammy Jankis's House from "Memento"

On Location with Jared Cowan

When Christopher Nolan's feature debut "Memento" hit screens, it shattered all structural conventions of narrative filmmaking. We meet up with the film's location manager, Russ Fega, in Altadena, CA, at the home of the film's muddled and forgetful accountant, Sammy Jankis. Russ lives across the street from the Jankis house and has invited the homeowner, Terry Andrues, to join us. Russ talks in-depth about working with Nolan in the very early part of the filmmaker's career, appearing onscreen in a handful of Nolan's films, and making the transition from a location manager to the owner of a successful location service business.
