Edward Bass’ approach in making films is like preparing an Indian dish served on a Japanese platter for the German to taste. He makes odd combinations out of different elements to create a superb and unique film project. Applauded by his peers for his eccentricity, Bass has never ceased to try different filming styles to make his works more artistic and original.
What sets Bass apart from other filmmakers is his fearlessness to use characters that are less kind-hearted, emotionally volatile, controversial, and therefore, more interesting. Additionally, he doesn’t really care about the superstar who would represent his characters. What he deems important is the ability of the actor to effectively portray his or her assigned role.
The following are two of the most recognized real-life dark characters that Edward Bass wants to serve as his main film subjects:

Charles Ponzi (March 3, 1882 – January 18, 1949) was a businessman and con artist in the U.S. and Canada. Born in Italy, he became known as a swindler in North America for his moneymaking confidence trick known as the “Ponzi Scheme.” The con game is a fraudulent investment operation that pays returns to its investors from their own money rather than from any actual profit earned by the individual or organization from running a business.
