Celebrating 20 Years of Carnivale with Creator Daniel Knauf

This week on Excelsior Journeys, host & producer George Sirois is celebrating the 20th anniversary of HBO's acclaimed series Carnivale with the show's creator Daniel Knauf. George & Daniel discuss the initial inspiration that led to Daniel sitting down and writing a screenplay while working as a health insurance broker, the decision to turn it from a feature film into a television series, the path that led to HBO, the development of the show, and the culmination of this epic collision of good and evil.

Daniel's complete archive of his work - both seen and unseen - can be accessed HERE.
