David Michael Latt, co-founder of The Asylum, has made a mark in independent filmmaking since the early 2000s. In Detour (2003), he takes on a role that reflects the studio's penchant for genre-bending narratives. Latt's leadership in producing a film every few weeks has positioned The Asylum as a key player in the cult cinema landscape, where films often embrace the outrageous and the unconventional. His work not only contributes to the grindhouse aesthetic but also revitalizes the spirit of exploitation cinema.
