“I fell in love with cinema watching The Wizard of Oz.” (EXCLUSIVE) Interview with Ana Jobrail

Who is Ana Jobrail?

I am a woman who loves to create! I enjoy writing and soon filming subjects that give people food for thought, a new perspective and maybe a new way to view topics.

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

Yes, I actually do. We were at my Aunt June’s house for my cousin’s birthday. After the party we settled in to watch The Wizard of Oz. I was mesmerized! Oh, that Wicked Witch and poor Dorothy and Toto with her friends, Lion, Scarecrow and Tinman off to see the Wizard. 

Tell us about your project “The Enforcers”.

The Enforcers is about enforcers for loan sharks. Quiet and loyal, he does the loan shark’s bidding without question. Sometimes it just takes a nod of the head, and it is done. A woman who deals with a comatose son and his ever-rising medical costs goes to a loan shark she knows from her husband’s dealings with the shark. There are things happening behind the scenes she doesn’t know about and causes the situation to spiral out of control.

Which Director inspires you the most?

Hands down Alfred Hitchcock inspires me the most. I always looked forward to his movies and especially his tv show. I love to give my plots that Hitchcockian twist.

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

I dislike the obsession people have with their cellphones. Social etiquette and interaction have slowly fallen to the wayside. Many of the younger generation in general don’t have the necessary social skills and can’t seem to function without a cellphone in their hands. They have FOMO and need to constantly check social media and messages. 

How do you imagine cinema in 100 years?

Looking back over the decades of how much cinema has changed is mind blowing. We started with black and white silent movies with little to no special effects to amazing films, series and effects like in Star Wars, The Matrix, Terminator, The Lord of the Rings and so on. 

I see special effects and clarity of images/films continue to evolve. I don’t see AI becoming mainstream but rather a different niche in the market. I think the techies will continue to try to implement its usage and it will become their genre.

What is your impression of WILD FILMMAKER?

I love WILD FILMMAKER! They notice those that go beyond the ordinary and strive for excellence. I see WF continue to grow and become a household word much like Sundance and the Academy Awards. I will continue to participate with WF and cheer my fellow competitors to greatness.
