Bill Blum

Bill Blum isn’t exactly a household name, but he’s got a resume that’s kinda wild if you actually bother to peek behind the curtain. He’s tagged his name to flicks like WiseGirls, Diabolus, and The Last Film Festival—yeah, that one from 2016 where the whole indie film scene gets roasted. WiseGirls, by the way, isn’t your run-of-the-mill mob drama. It’s got Mariah Carey (yes, that Mariah) serving up sass and secrets in a dingy Italian restaurant, with Bill caught up in the chaos. There’s tension, double-crosses, and more attitude than you’d expect from a movie most people missed at the box office. Now, Diabolus is a whole different beast. Think psychological thriller with a twist of the bizarre, where you’re never sure who’s messing with who. Blum’s involvement there is proof he likes his stories weird and messy. He gravitates to projects that don’t just play it safe, and honestly, who can blame him? Safe is boring. Then there’s The Last Film Festival, which leans hard into comedy and satire, poking fun at Hollywood’s obsession with awards and indie cred. Blum’s characters tend to have that offbeat, slightly eccentric edge—like the guy at the party who’s always got a story that sounds too wild to be true, but you kinda want it to be. He’s not afraid to get a little weird with his roles, and that’s what makes his filmography worth a second look, even if it’s not packed with blockbusters.
