-What has been the greatest difficulty you faced in producing your project?

I think in all film productions you are going to have hiccups…I was told that it’s an actual miracle that any films are ever made due to so many people having to be involved. For me I’d say, trying to realize my vision with no real budget. The major set piece in my film, the robbery at the art gallery, was done in the recording studio using sound effects and the actors performing their lines in a booth.

-Do you think the film industry today has been damaged by political correctness?

I don’t think the current political climate has affected the film industry. I think the lack of good story-telling has damaged the film industry. Interesting characters doing interesting things has always sold, and I think us as filmmakers have to have the courage to tell the stories we want to tell. If that means lower budgets…then we tell smaller, more intimate stories.

-What was the greatest source of inspiration for creating your project?

I love the 90s style neo-noir films, that’s what I grew up watching and when I think of films that I want to produce…this style, these themes are on the forefront of my mind. 

-If you could ask a question to a great director from the past, who would you like to talk to and what would you ask them?

I am a huge fan of Stanley Kubrick and I would love to just pick his brain on scene blocking, set piece design…basically his method for filmmaking. 

-What do you think of the Wild Filmmaker platform?

Wild Filmmaker is an amazing platform for independent artists and filmmakers. Such a great resource to be introduced to films and filmmakers that you might not otherwise. Forever grateful to have found this platform.
