-Who is Carter Cox?

Carter Cox is a goofy, tall, handsome (at least in my grandma’s eyes) who’s passion in life is to entertain and use his gifts to serve his community and God. 

-Do you remember the exact moment you fell in love with cinema?

Honestly, I’ve loved movies for as long as I could remember, but I believe I really got serious about cinema was when I watched “They Live” for the first time. That film showed me how much of an impact film could really have on the world. The cultural significance and the messages, and also just the absolute badassness of that movie truly inspired me!

-Tell us about your project “Green Thumb Weed Killer”.

Green Thumb Weed Killer is a found footage/analog horror film that pokes fun at old infomercials but with a massive fun twist! I got inspired to do this from the Adult Swim Infomercials where they would trick their viewers into thinking they were watching a real infomercial. Also, with the current craze of analog horror that has been sweeping online lately it felt like the perfect time! The project has been a massive undertaking but I believe it will be possibly my best film to date! 

-Which Director inspires you the most?

The director that inspires me the most is definitely Sylvester Stallone. I admire him because of his insane work ethic and grit when making films. His rise to stardom from his humble beginnings is one of the most inspirational stories of all time. When he makes a movie he stars, directs, writes, he even does his own stunts, and that’s something I can relate to being a small independent filmmaker!

-What do you dislike about the world and what would you change?

Honestly what I dislike most about the world is the evil that exists in it. Thats probably the most vanilla answer ever but its the truth. Evil is everywhere and it has many faces, from actions to words to thoughts. But, god gives us the power to fight against the evil of this world and its up to us to fight against it. I plan on changing the world by using my skills in film and philanthropy to give back to those in need. I feel like through the magic of film you could really change the world in more ways than one!

-How do you imagine cinema in 100 years?

With AI on the rise the future of Authentic cinema looks murky. Ai is already making massive changes in the industry and its not going away anytime soon. Honestly in 100 years I think authentic film will be sought after like gold. Will all of the sludge coming out of mainstream Hollywood these days, indie productions seem to be on the rise and I believe that we are witnessing a massive shift in film coming back into the hands of small creators.

-What is your impression of WILD FILMMAKER?

Wild Filmmaker seems like a great place for small creators to get dip their toe into the film industry and hopefully get their work noticed
