Eisener admits he thought the chances of getting Fichtman involved were slim: “I looked up his IMDb page, and I was like, ‘Oh my god, he’s never dabbled in the genre at all. To help secure finance they approached Niv Fichtman, a Canadian producer more accustomed to shepherding such arty projects as Guy Maddin’s The Saddest Music in the World rather than movies which involve razor blade-covered baseball bats. Given the buzz around Hobo, Eisener, Cotterill, and Davies decided to try and make a feature-length version.

The clip became a YouTube sensation and the Canadian distributors of Grindhouse included the trailer in prints of the movie when the film was released north of the border. In May 2007, Eisener attended the SXSW film festival in Austin to hear Rodriguez announce that his trailer had won the competition. “People backed out because of that scene. “We would have made the film two years ago if that scene was not in the script,” says Eisener, 28. The problem? For some reason, potential investors didn’t think the cinemagoing public was dying to see ablaze ankle-biters. The Hobo team were determined to portray the brothers as out-and-out psychopaths and decided to have them set fire to a busload of kids with a flamethrower. Their tale centered on a railroad-riding homeless man who dreams of buying a lawn mower so he can set up a gardening business, but instead becomes embroiled in a blood-drenched feud with a crime family comprising evil patriarch “the Drake,” and his two similarly diabolical sons, Slick and Ivan. The (fictional) children in question played a small but crucial part in the script for Hobo that Eisener, his producer Rob Cotterill, and his writer John Davies had cooked up in homage to violent, low budget, ‘80s action movies - think Rutger Hauer in The Hitcher or Rutger Hauer in The Blood of Heroes or Rutger Hauer in… actually, if you’re thinking Rutger Hauer, then you’re probably in the right ballpark.
And he would have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn’t for those pesky kids. Ivan and Slick come after you in a never-ending pursuit.Canadian director Jason Eisener originally wanted to make his debut feature film Hobo With a Shotgun a couple of years ago.
