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

      As an infant  I recall being put to bed in my cot in Hong Kong, and watching the first ever TV shows there, and being entranced. The One O’Clock show was a real movie, and I soon came to know that the pirate movie, by Michael Curtiz (which I later found out was “Captain Blood”) was wonderful and that “Brigadoon” was also a marvel to behold. So for me it was two old movies a day, and then cartoons for kids starting at 5. Then my parents came home from work and my “nap” time was over!

– When did you realize that the story living in your heart had to be turned into a screenplay and then into a film project?

      Actually, only in recent years. I’d been writing and directing short films and plays in competition in London, learning the trade while acting in commercials, then I moved into fashion and beauty studio photography, then cinematography, then to directing commercials. This is while writing stories all along. Then I realized I didn’t know anything about film editing, so re-apprenticed in London and moved into feature film editing, then to TV editing in Los Angeles. Only during the hard times recently and Covid was it made clear to me that I had to work with my own material. Before then I’d only worked on others’. However, I’ve been writing my own little tales, pretty much consistently, since I was 12.

– Is there a person you would like to thank for helping you bring your project to life?

      My partners, paul gunn and Jean Heckmann, without whom “NeverWhere: a Lycan Love Story” would ever have been conceived. And my other partner, CC Williams, who has been wonderful in helping to put together the executive side of the project.

– Which writer inspires you the most?

      Wow. Many, many, but probably that would have to be either David Mamet or Neil Gaiman, but I would be seriously remiss without giving thanks and mention to Jeff Kitchen, Corey Mandell and John Jarrell.

– Do you think the Wild Filmmaker Community is helping to turn your dream into a reality?

      This is my first interaction with the Wild Filmmaker Community, who reached out to me, apparently out of the blue, to celebrate my more than 36 international laurels for the book, concept and screenplay of “NeverWere”. Kudos and thanks to you all at the WFC! While our partnership, the EP!C FILM FOUNDRY, works diligently every day to raise funds and distro for the project, I’m very optimistic that the WFC can be instrumental in the project’s upcoming success.
