Andrew Patterson sits down with Deadline’s Anthony D’Alessandro to discuss the making of 'The Rivals of Amziah King,' his unconventional journey from Oklahoma filmmaker to Hollywood’s radar, and the risks he took to bring the film to life. Patterson opens up about Matthew McConaughey taking a chance on the project, Angelina Looking Glass’ breakout performance, and the film’s unique fusion of crime thriller, Western, and music. He also reveals how the production pulled off its astonishing scenes with real bees — and why he refused to make the movie with CGI bees.
